There were gold medal performances from many of them. The previous minister for immigration, now Manager of Opposition Business, handed out 539 permanent protection visas during the few short months that he sat in the chair. He also had the highest month of arrivals of any month under their deplorable record in government of 4,239. Then there is the member for Gorton. He handed out 977 permanent protection visas to people who came to Australia illegally by boat, over which time 12,386 people turned up on his watch. His gold-medal performance was ensuring that the boats continued to come on his watch.
