Minister, there was a time when the Prime Minister understood the difference between 'thoughtful and compassionate' and racism. Does the Prime Minister now also believe that it is thoughtful and compassionate for the immigration minister to describe refugees as 'illiterate' and 'innumerate', to describe them as 'illegals' who will 'take Australian jobs or languish on dole queues'?
