Just before Morrison and Dutton disappear in an explosion of exaggeration and misinformation, some hard numbers.
Why would people now switch away from coming by plane, in favour of the more dangerous and expensive route by boat? Particularly, now during the monsoon.
If, our borders were open under Labor as Dutton and Morrison stated this morning, what are they now? The number of protection visas issued was higher last year than in any year under Rudd or Gillard. I have always suspected that the very high numbers in the last year of Labor were at least, in part, due to an increased sense of urgency drummed up by people smugglers using the rhetoric Abbott was running ie to get here before he became PM and "stopped the boats"..
Labor actually needs to call out the lies being told by a desperate, dishonest government. I applauded Tony Burke yesterday in Parliament for reminding those opposite of their cynical scuttling of the Malaysia solution.
