It gets pretty tiresome seeing Scott Morrison on TV, after he’s been on Christmas Island ‘helping’ with the asylum seekers. The repeated comment that the ‘weakening’of our border protecytion is an incentive for more asylum seekers to come here, is obviously an attempt to manufacture a lie! If Rudd was… Read more »
