Senator CASH (Western Australia) (14:48): Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I refer to the Prime Minister's statement three years ago when he said: 'If I return as Prime Minister, this party and the government will not be lurching to the right on the question of asylum seekers.' Will the government now support the coalition's policy to turn back the boats when it is safe and possible to do so? Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! When there is silence we will proceed. When there is silence, I will give the minister the call. If you wish to debate it, there is 12 minutes to go.
