Labor's policy on asylum seekers is clear. We will never let the people smugglers back in business. Labor believes in strong borders, offshore processing, regional resettlement and turnbacks when safe to do so, because we know it saves lives at sea. Every time people like Senator Bernardi or the Minister for Home Affairs lie about Labor's strong position on border protection, they are encouraging the people smugglers to restart their vile trade.
