Dave Gillard can pretend all she likes, the Coalition's position hasn't changed in a decade = detention centre on Nauru, turn back the boats where safe, and TPV's.
That's fact Dave.
Gillard/Rudd shut down a system that was proven to be working. Fact Dave.
Even now, all Gillard has to do is accept Abbott's amendment, an amendment that says offshore processing must be done in a signatory country. Which is what Gillard & Labor have demanded for a decade.
Labor are too gutless to stand up to Bob's Greens, and are treacherously imposing Greens policies on an unwilling population.
People aren't blind to all this Dave, they see what's going on, the shock jocks are all over it, even the ABC - Tony Jones didn't go too easy on Bowen last night either I noticed with surprise.
If this is some masterful plan by Labor, their only goal could be self destruction, because every time they blame Abbott they just look worse because nobody believes them.
