'Stop the Boats' is a key Liberal Party Policy that Abbott got elected on!
His credibility is on the line with this Policy..... Labor will destroy him at the next election if he fails!
Kevin Rudd and Labor had a mandate 6 years ago to implement a more 'humane' approach to the asylum seeker issue. It was a dismal failure we all know that now. But it was a mandate from the people none the less that Labor ran on in 2007 when they defeated John Howard!
