Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

I have said that we endeavour to provide information to public representatives before we open any new international protection emergency centre. I have also said that for reasons outside our control, information will often get out before we reach that point. There is a point at which we can provide information and a point at which we cannot provide information. We do not control what others out there may be saying on social media or elsewhere. That is extremely unfortunate and I acknowledge that it puts public representatives in a difficult position. We have also acknowledged that we need a better level of engagement with public representatives and communities.
