Tuesday, 27 July 2010

Subjects: Coalition talks with Nauru Government and Opposition, Nauru Government and Opposition’s willingness to enter negotiations for reopening of offshore processing facility

E&OE...

JULIE BISHOP    This morning my colleague Scott Morrison and I have been speaking with Dr Keke, the Foreign Minister of Nauru. I have spoken by telephone and now met him and Scott has been meeting with Dr Keke. Dr Keke has indicated the willingness of the Nauru Government to assist Australia should it so request with the reestablishment and the opening up again of the Australian taxpayer funded detention centre facility on Nauru. It is a fact that the previous Coalition Government took decisive action to stop the flow of boats via the people smuggling trade and we had a number of initiatives in place which included the establishment of an offshore processing centre on Nauru. It was purpose built, it was funded by the Australian taxpayer and it remains available to be used again as an offshore processing centre.

CHRIS UHLMANN    You were in the audience this evening and there are no prizes for guess who you think won tonight?

JULIE BISHOP    I think we saw a real contrast tonight Chris. Tony Abbott appeared Prime Ministerial. He was direct, he wasn’t evasive and he gave honest answers and I think he won on all the major policy issues.
