"We've got to ensure that anybody that seeks to come to Australia does through the proper channels and does not gate crash us courtesy of not staying in a refugee camp and then paying a criminal to advance their cause."

"As far as details of arrangements go, we don't know. This is another classic case of a Peter Dutton special where we asked him last week, is there an arrangement with a third country? And he said I'm not going to tell you. So we read about it in the newspaper. We don't know any details, we don't know when it's likely to happen, we don't know what any of the conditions are. We'll look at that as we always do with anything proposed by the government in a sober, proper way."
