The Labor Party can call out what they like, but the facts are there and cannot be denied: 50,000 unauthorised arrivals and at least 1,200 deaths at sea.

Now, we stopped the boats and we secured our borders. We ensured that the Australian government, representative of the Australian people, and that it alone, determines who comes to Australia. The Labor Party has failed in government to keep Australians safe and to protect Australians' security. My government is determined to continue to keep Australians safe, and our funding for the AFP and our other security agencies demonstrates that commitment.
