Interesting in view of Bishop’s answer to the question of why they are planning five years ahead when they will “Stop the Boats” to note that it was the Howard government that built the huge facility on Christmas Island whilst there were four people in detention. What did they know then about the future numbers that Labor have had to deal with and why are they now trying to convince silly little me that they can get those numbers back to four if I vote for them? “Bishop was asked why the Coalition needed a processing policy spanning five years when Abbott has promised to stop the boats during his first term in office. Australian parliamentary terms are three years. She reasoned that the two commitments were not inconsistent. The additional capacity would deal with a backlog of people pursuing refugee claims.” theguardian/world/2013/jul/30/coalition-tent-city-processing-nauru
