Senator SMITH (Western Australia) (14:13): My question is to the Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, Senator Cash. I refer to the reported statement by former Prime Minister Rudd that: … the number of folks coming by boat was overwhelming the whole refugee intake. And that this posed a: … practical, moral and political dilemma. Can the minister update the Senate on why previous policies entrenched an inherent unfairness in Australia's migration program and how the coalition is addressing this inequality?
