Turnbull reopens the boatpeople business

Turnbull is a dangerous fool.

Mr Rudd said clearly boatpeople would never get into Australia. Up to now this has been bi partisan policy. There were no loopholes or small print.

The proposed legislation would water this down to allow children in and ministerial discretion. we know what will happen next. Boatloads of "children" who lost their birth certificate overboard. Endless legal precedents about the application of ministerial discretion.

Turnbull is throwing open the gates.
