Minister Carr’s disgraceful and completely unprofessional performance in question time today—in fact, it was put to me it was a performance that was unbefitting of a minister of the Crown—shows exactly why the coalition is debating this matter today. Those opposite have absolutely no answers at all to their failed border protection policies. Andrew Bolt, in his online blog on 12 November 2010, posed the following question: is Julia Gillard finished? I have to say, based on Minister Carr’s performance today, perhaps the question being posed by Andrew Bolt should have been: is Minister Carr finished? But the question was in relation to Julia Gillard—and I have to say: if we put that question to Bill Shorten, what do you think Mr Shorten would say?
