Senator CARR (Victoria—Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research) (14:17): We have clearly indicated that we do have arrangements with Malaysia which the government have confidence in. The government have clearly indicated our intention to proceed with that agreement. I might suggest that this is a position which stands in sharp contrast, when we are talking about human rights, with the position the opposition have taken in regard to Nauru. Senator Ronaldson: Mr President, I rise on a point of order as to relevance. We have a minister who, at best, has been vague, and who, at worst, simply does not understand his brief or the issue. I invite you to ask him to return to the question. The PRESIDENT: The minister has 36 seconds remaining to answer the question.

Senator CARR: The issue here is that the government intends to pursue the Malaysian agreement. It is seeking the legislative authority of the parliament to do so. The government is looking to the parliament to pass the legislation which will be introduced next week. (Time expired)
