In the end, people will make their own judgements, because in black and white here we have the words of Mr Walker SC. We have no issue with Mr Walker. Our issue is with the Labor Party, because the Labor Party tries to sit on both sides of this debate. That is the problem for Bill Shorten. That is the problem for this Leader of the Opposition. On the government's proposal to strip terrorists of their Australian citizenship if it does not render them stateless, he cannot come in here on one day saying it is a dog whistle and then pretend the next day that he is fully behind what we are doing. He cannot pretend that.
