Brett commented on Peter's question: “Turnballs embarrassing stance on climate change means Liberals quite properly deserted him and he has no chance to regain power until he adopts party policy. Even then, Abbott has proven his worth and I suspect will make a better PM than most suspect. Turnball has repeatedly shown a lack of judgement. ”
Brett commented on Jonathan's question: “the overstay visa argument is quite a separate issue. They have had passports vetted and the authorities know who they are. They have not queue jumped, haven't taken the place of another refugee, as do the boat arrivals. They are on notice of imminent deportation at any time. They aren't on welfare. Its a bizarre comparison. ”
Brett commented on Amy 's question: “the government by a long way”
