I understand that the makers of Sea Patrol are in some real strife because there have been no boats arriving for the past 95 days, so they will not have as much material to deal with as they used to, according to Senator Hanson-Young. If I can turn to the kernel of her question about the uncertainty and the treatment, I can say to the honourable senator that in those 95 days that no boats have arrived we can also be relatively certain that there have been no drownings at sea.
