Mr. Kevin McCarthy:
We gave a figure in the correspondence to the committee earlier this week of 181 months. That seems to be rather anomalous. There is no reason somebody should be in our accommodation for that period, particularly given that the Department of Justice regularisation process would have allowed anybody who was here for more than three years to be regularised.
