Senator CONROY (Victoria—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Digital Productivity) (14:25): A set of proposals that contained some very tough measures were put forward. Those opposite continue to refuse to support the implementation of them, because they do not want to solve this problem. Those opposite want to keep playing politics. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! When we have silence we will proceed. Senator CONROY: Mr President, those opposite want to keep playing politics. While they are playing politics, lives are being lost. People are jumping on unsafe boats in seeking to come to Australia. If they were being returned to Malaysia, the incentive would shut down the people-smuggling business. A Malaysian solution would have seen that trade brought to an end, and yet for nothing but cowardly, manipulative political reasons those opposite are not prepared to introduce it. (Time expired)
