There is nothing fair about a system that is based upon uncontrolled, unsafe and illegal routes into this country.
As soon as more information is available that is capable of being shared without compromising any future trial process, that will be done.
The public rightly expect us to control who and what enter this country. It is one of the most fundamental duties of the state and remains a top priority for me and the government I serve in.
This approach means those in need of protection arrive with the consent of communities and with the financial support of their sponsor, and not the taxpayer.
