Maybe have a look at what Alan Kohler thinks:

Without a hint of irony this week, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton declared that “there’s been a catastrophic failure in the system” because a boatload of desperate people managed to make it to the WA coast.

One boat; 40 people. Meanwhile, more than 20,000 migrants have arrived in Europe by boat so far this year and about 10,000 people a day are walking across the southern border of the United States, inundating Texan towns.

Never mind that the WA arrivals were caught and promptly shipped off to Nauru, never to set foot in Australia, in line with Coalition policy.

But the fact that the two parties agree about border controls must be buried in outrage.
