Mr BUTLER (Port Adelaide) (14:38): My question is to the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. The islands of Saibai, Poruma and Warraber in the Torres Strait are at risk because of sea level rise caused by climate change. What does the minister say to the residents of the Torres Strait, near our border with Papua New Guinea, who are facing the same risks as our Pacific neighbours who are seeking action so that migration does not become their only option? Mr Pyne: Mr Speaker, a point of order: the issue of climate change is not within the responsibilities of the Minister for Immigration. That question is more properly directed to the Minister for the Environment or even to the Prime Minister. The minister could answer questions about visa issues and other things, but not issues about climate change. Therefore I would suggest that the member direct his question to the correct minister rather than the incorrect one. Mr Burke: On the point of order, the question goes directly to issues of border protection and also goes directly to one of the most significant migration issues within the Pacific. The SPEAKER: I am going to rule the question out of order. Mr Burke: I acknowledge that the Minister for Immigration is laughing at this moment, but we are talking about one of the most significant migration issues in the Pacific, and we need to be allowed to ask on that. There was no opportunity to rephrase. That is two occasions on which you have ruled out, without an opportunity to rephrase, questions that are clearly relevant to the portfolio. Mr Morrison interjecting— Mr Pyne interjecting— Ms Plibersek interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Minister for Social Services and the Leader of the House will cease interjecting, as will the member for Sydney. Member for Watson: I listened very carefully to the question. I hesitated to call the Leader of the House; I was about to make a ruling. But the point you made about the opportunity to rephrase is a fair point, and I will give the member the opportunity to rephrase. It is a fair point. Mr BUTLER: Thank you, Mr Speaker. My question is still to the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection. The islands of Saibai, Poruma and Warraber in the Torres Strait are at risk because of sea level rises caused by climate change. What does the minister say to the residents of the Torres Strait, near our border with Papua New Guinea, who are facing the same risks as our Pacific neighbours who are seeking action so that migration does not become their only option, including migration to Australia, in the face of the threat of climate change? Mr Pyne: Mr Speaker, a point of order: you very generously allowed them to try to rephrase the question. They asked exactly the same question that they asked before. It is still not within the realm of responsibility of the Minister for Immigration. The SPEAKER: The question was not identical. The minister can refer to the very last part of the question and does not need to respond to the first part of the question.
