Ms JULIE BISHOP (Curtin—Minister for Foreign Affairs) (15:03): I thank the member for Sydney for her question. The Australian government is concerned about the people-smuggling trade. That is precisely why we have acted to close it down. The people-smuggling trade are criminal syndicates, and we have worked constructively with the Indonesian government and Indonesian authorities since we came into government to ensure that we can disrupt the people-smuggling trade, because this trade leads to deaths at sea. Twelve hundred people are known to have died at sea under Labor's policies. Eleven billion dollars in cost blow-outs occurred— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: There will be silence, and the member for McMahon will desist! Mr Burke: How many after Malaysia? The SPEAKER: The member for Watson will desist or leave! Ms JULIE BISHOP: and 50,000 people, who paid on average about $10,000 to people smugglers, all did that under Labor's policies. So I do not expect to be lectured by the member for Sydney on matters to do with people-smuggling. Mr Dreyfus interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Isaacs will desist or leave! The choice is his. Ms JULIE BISHOP: I suggest she go back to her special topic: continents that are not countries! Mr Snowdon interjecting— The SPEAKER: Member for Lingiari, that is not a parliamentary term, and you will withdraw. Mr Snowdon interjecting— The SPEAKER: That is not what I heard. Mr Perrett: It was definitely a joke. The SPEAKER: In that case, have a warning. Mr Snowdon interjecting— The SPEAKER: I would not repeat it if I were you.
