My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the comments by former Labor minister, now citizen, Graham Richardson, about the Prime Minister’s failures, and I quote:
The announcement of the East Timor detention centre, which the government is clinging to despite it becoming increasingly ridiculous, springs to mind.
As the government has clearly lost its way on border protection, will the Prime Minister now abandon her three-word slogan of ‘regional processing centre’?

I see a rabid lefty leaving typical insults. The question is legitimate and what it does is terrify pitiful refugee advocates and supporters because its true.. Maybe the question should also include what is the true age of these so-called 15 yo single males held at Villawood, i would suggest they are mostly above 20 and are being freshly coached by the likes of Jim Coleman as to how to rort our inept system. If you support these leeching economic refugee bludgers Coleman then you are truly indicative of your political persuasion.
