Peter Dutton (Dickson, Liberal Party, Minister for Immigration and Border Protection) Share this | Hansard source

Of course, Mr Speaker. The difficulty for Labor and for this weak Leader of the Opposition is that there are many people in his own ranks who are completely opposed to any policy which will keep our borders secure. There are three ways in which we have implemented success in this area of public policy. Firstly, we have turned back boats where it is safe to do so. Secondly, we have maintained temporary protection visas, and, thirdly, we have operated regional processing centres. These, absolutely, are the three deterrents that have stared down the threat of people smugglers. The new member for Braddon has proclaimed on social media that she is 'with Albo' in opposing boat turn-backs.
