because Mr Dutton demanded that the bill must be tougher, must be nastier, must be meaner. So what did the Labor Party do? 'Oh, okay, please stop. Don't say anything more!' It is so sickening to me that you have no spine. What is the point of being in government? What is the point of having a Labor Attorney-General? What is the point of having a Labor immigration minister? What is the point of having a Labor Prime Minister if all you're going to do is implement the policies of the Liberal Party?
