Tony Abbott said “Tony Burke needs to begin his role as immigration minister with an apology for his poor performance under the former Labor government.”
“I think a full account of what he did wrong then and how it’s going to be different now, and what he’s learnt from the successful management of our borders by the intervening Coalition government.”
“Without an apology for the poor performance of the former Labor government given that he was one of the poorest of the poor performers amongst those immigration ministers, it’s going to be very hard to take him seriously.”
The management of Australia’s borders by the Australia Labor Party has been questionable with boat arrives, criminals being released into the community only to offend once again and excessive immigration causing concerns for the Australia public and placing additional pressure on housing and rents.
At the same time Senator Pocock is calling for increased immigration.
The portfolio remains in a crisis.
