00:00I understand people's frustration and everyone has a right to protest peacefully in a democracy
00:06and it's their right to do that. We just have to make certain that none of that actually spirals
00:14into something worse like violence and so I would say it's our intention to close all asylum hotels
00:24by the end of this parliament. We are working on that by making the system we inherited which was
00:29had huge backlogs and wasn't really working work again which is why we've doubled the amount of
00:37asylum processing that we've done. We're making people move through the system now. There are 6,000
00:43fewer people in hotels in the first three months of this year than there were in the last three
00:48months of last year so we are making progress. It's too slow for some people but progress it is.
