Yep I think that’s the crux of it eagle.

They are our responsibility and when you have people dying because of health bureaucratic bungling in Canberra (which was happening) this will activate doctor’s groups like the AMA and the RACGP.

These are hardly radical left wing groups.

The libs simply forgot how to run a successful boarder protection policy - talk tough but (very quietly) actually run a fairly humane system to keep everyone sweet.

Howard would have never got wedged like this. He would have stood up and thumped the table and said he will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come. And then very quietly let the doctors (who yes will always err on the side of compassion) just get on with their job.

And no-one would have been the wiser.
