Again we see lots of talk, lots of chat and lots of yelling from the opposition on matters of national security. The one thing that's missing is action. As home affairs minister Mr Dutton spent years telling us that he'd closed the back door to Australia. Now we find out that he left the front gate wide open and swinging in the breeze. His search for political division does nothing to make people safer. Let's not forget the mess that Mr Dutton left the Home Affairs portfolio in—a visa backlog of one million people and dodgy international education systems funnelling visa rorts every single day. Report after report found gaping holes in Mr Dutton's rorted visa system, which was letting criminals into the country—a visa system that allowed foreign organised crime syndicates into the country.
