This motion is nothing more than a cheap political stunt. Labor should be embarrassed for relying on the fabricated evidence of the disgraced former Australian Border Force commissioner. They should be embarrassed for pursuing a Senate inquiry which only proved that the Minister for Home Affairs acted within his ministerial power. These base political games cannot change the fact that the Liberal-National government has ended Labor's chaos at the border. The government has stopped the boats, ended the deaths at sea, got all the children out of detention and kicked thousands of non-citizen criminals, including murderers, child sex offenders and outlaw motorcycle gang members out of our country.
