Senator TROOD (Queensland) (14:27): Flattery will usually get you everywhere, Minister, but perhaps not on this occasion. Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the minister also aware of opinion polls that reveal that some 70 per cent of Australians are opposed to the government's so-called Malaysian solution? Does the government consider that it has also achieved community consensus on this issue by uniting the overwhelming majority of Australians against this policy?
