My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Senator Carr. Can the minister advise why the government should be trusted with a blank cheque for its proposed changes to the Migration Act after its disastrous decision to abolish the Howard government's successful border protection policies, the failed Afghan and Sri Lankan asylum freeze, the failed East Timor solution and the failed Malaysia solution, which alone has resulted in 241 illegal boats arriving with 12,262 people onboard, including 100 boats and approximately 440 drownings on the current Prime Minister's watch?
