Our Minister for Home Affairs, just on Lateline, being questioned about the numbers of boats and position in relation to Indonesia and Australia. They were only 38km from Indonesia, when they asked for assistance, but continued for another 70 km before the disaster.
He was not aware of reports about boats 6 hours before his actual notification or reports about other boats, etc. before going to assist.
This bloke, IMO, is typical of our Labor leaders, a shambles, but affecting peoples' lives and our security.
