The head of Australia's immigration and border protection department says he doesn't apply too much emotion to his work.
Michael Pezzullo on Monday was pressed about whether he was shocked by a damning audit into immigration contracts during a Senate estimates hearing.
"I go about my work without putting too much emotion into in," he told the hearing at Parliament House.
Senator Michaelia Cash, representing the government, was later asked about whether there was a direct trade-off underpinning the US refugee deal after Peter Dutton stoked confusion on the issue last week.
"I would say on behalf of the minister that the arrangement is not a people swap deal," she said.
