Yes, I can always rely on Senator Macdonald to come in and start blustering. What he will do is start rewriting history, as he normally does. And he is very good at personal insults, but the facts speak for themselves: we have a very strong history of supporting refugees in this country. They make a valuable contribution. We should not condemn those refugees to a lifetime ban simply because this government is so incompetent.

They go from one disaster to the other. Malcolm Turnbull picks one bubble out after another, and what we need to do is just burst those bubbles once and for all.
