Senator LUNDY (Australian Capital Territory—Minister Assisting for Industry and Innovation, Minister for Multicultural Affairs and Minister for Sport) (15:03): I have an answer to a question without notice asked by Senator Brandis yesterday, and I seek leave to incorporate my response. Leave granted. The answer read as follows— On 22 November 2012 Senator Brandis asked: I refer the minister to comments by Mr Richard Britten, the Police Commissioner of Nauru, reported in the Fairfax press today indicating that the Nauruan authorities wished to pursue wilful damage and riot charges against two Iranian asylum seekers to answer for their alleged role in the riot at the processing centre which caused $25,000 worth of damage. Can the minister confirm that the Australian government agreed to the men's request to be voluntarily returned to Iran without having to answer for their alleged crimes? Response: The Department has not facilitated the removal of anyone who was charged with any offence on Nauru. Law enforcement matters are an issue for the Nauruan Government.
