Senator CARR (Victoria—Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research) (14:41): I thank Senator Eggleston for his question. The government have made it very clear that there need to be changes to the legislation and we are calling on the opposition to declare its position on the proposed changes. We have repeatedly pointed out to Senator Eggleston that the government offered the opposition a briefing from senior officials on the High Court's position, and that advice demonstrated that the legislative change was necessary to put offshore processing beyond doubt and that that alteration would be necessary should those opposite wish to use Nauru in the future. The advice also clearly showed that for Nauru it provided no support whatsoever for the proposition that people smugglers have learned the lessons of recent history. The people smugglers know that if you are sent to Nauru and you are found to be a refugee, you will end up being resettled in Australia. That has been the case for more than 60 per cent of those who have resettled in Australia, and a whopping 95 per cent of people resettled from Nauru have ended up in Australia or New Zealand. So there has been a 95 per cent failure rate for the policy position that Senator Eggleston's party pursued in government. We know that Nauru will not work and we know that it is also incredibly expensive. (Time expired)
