I'll read them then. That's even better. The Daily Telegraph says 'Freed detainees in alleged assault, drugs charge', and 'asylum creepers'. Guess what? It gets worse when you read what the judge said in 2016, when sentencing one of the released detainees that this government—the Albanese government—has released into the community. The judge said, in 2016, during his sentencing, that this man was 'a danger to the Australian community' and, what is worse, 'an ongoing risk to women'. You have to be kidding me. They have now freed detainees on alleged assault and drugs charges. Then we have the front page of the Advertiser of 'Freed fiend on sex charge'. Then we have—let's go through it—the Australianheadline 'Human catastrophe: detainee sex charges'. We can keep going through today's papers. The front page of the Herald Sunis 'How could you let this happen?' I'll tell you that that is a very good question. It's sheer incompetence and nothing more. Then, of course, you have the West Australian newspaper today—Anthony DeCeglie is the editor—with the headline that says it all, 'Everything is f-"space"-c-k-e-d'. That's about the only thing you can say about this government at the moment. Anthony De Ceglie, editor of the West Australian, you've got it right.
