Peter Dutton (Dickson, Liberal Party, Minister for Immigration and Border Protection) Share this | Hansard source

On turnbacks, Ms Keay says, 'I do not support it,' and she says—and this is a direct quote, Mr Speaker—'I'm with Albo on this.' Every person you look at on the front bench has been weak on border protection in opposition and in government. Those people that would sit around the National Security Committee, if you have a look at them one by one, they are as weak as water. It's 700 days. We've not even had a question from the shadow minister on boats. It's interesting. They sedate him when he comes in here. On the quarter hour, his head turns from 10 to two and turns back again on the next quarter hour. The fact is they don't want to talk about boats because they are completely disastrous when it comes to boat policy, and the Australian public should never, ever forget it. (Time expired)
