Mrs Bronwyn Bishop (Mackellar, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Seniors) Share this | Hansard source

The reason I raised the question of Malaysia was to specifically ask you whether or not the Ombudsman would be using part of his $900,000 earmarked money—which is not extra money but money taken away from other duties he might be doing—to make reports on each and every one of the disgraceful trades in human flesh of one asylum seeker going from Australia and our receiving five here in Australia. I ask whether the ones being sent to Malaysia are to be tagged like animals or subject to the birch. If you find that acceptable behaviour then that is a big difference between you and me, because I sure do not.
