    ‘People raped children’: Sunrise’s Nat Barr blasts government live on air over immigration farce

    Sunrise’s Nat Barr has lambasted a key government minister live on air over a controversial decision that allowed several rapists on visas to stay in Australia.

    Sunrise’s Natalie Barr has confronted Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil with a shocking list of sex crimes allegedly conducted by detainees who were allowed to stay in Australia as a result of ministerial discretion.

    The stunning confrontation has unfolded in the wake of evidence from Home Affairs officials to Senate estimates that a rule change – dubbed ministerial direction 99 – had allowed criminals with significant ties to Australia to avoid deportation.


    Immigration minister Andrew Giles is now seeking urgent advice about re-cancelling the visa of a man accused of murder, and other decisions that have resulted in dozens of visas being restored to non-citizens with serious criminal convictions.

    As the stunned Labor frontbencher Clare O’Neil watched on wordlessly, she was forced to nod as the Sunrise host listed a growing list of alleged crimes on national television.

    I would have thought some of these alleged humans might fail the character test. Apparently not so.
