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

I withdraw, Mr Speaker. I'm happy to do so. The Australian public know this about the Leader of the Opposition: he has one thing to say to one audience and something different to say to another audience. That is why he cannot be trusted when it comes to border security—because he is telling the Left of his party one thing and the Australian public something very different. We know that Labor went to the last election with a policy which would have resulted in boats recommencing, people drowning at sea and kids going back into detention. We know that, in relation to national security, the Left of the Labor Party is completely out of control, and we saw that yesterday with a tweet from the member for Lindsay, who quickly deleted it after she was contacted by the Leader of the Opposition's office. But has he been strong enough to come out and condemn it? No, he hasn't.
