I think I have answered the question. But what we've seen here is the shadow minister loving it at the dispatch box. He really does. What it tells us is that his real target is the record of the Leader of the Opposition here, because he knows, as we know, that, if the Leader of the Opposition were held to the standard that he seeks to hold others to, he would not have lasted a day in the job. This is a bloke who trashed our immigration system, who trashed integrity, who trashed enforcement and who let nearly 1,300 people out not via a court and not via a tribunal, without any constraints on their behaviour. That's the measure of the man.

The shadow minister obviously agrees with me.
