What about when those arrivals pay people smugglers large sums of money to jump the queue ?Then, according to Barrie Cassidy, Mr Abbott went on to again make the completely incorrect statement about "illegal arrivals" later that same day.
My goodness dear lady.John Howard would never have behaved like this. Neither would he have encouraged/allowed members of his team to engage in the overkill of a whole day of gloating toward the government when the findings of the expert panel were revealed.
Imo Barrie Cassidy is making a very valid point. Tony Abbott's continuous exaggeration and misrepresentation will eventually be his undoing.
This, from the article:

Sometimes less is more, Mr Abbott.
No doubt entirely true.My goodness dear lady.
The Coalition's responses to this are a side show in comparison to what Labor do to their own, let alone any body else.
I'm also trying to imagine how Paul Keating would have responded in similar circumstanses. It would have been worth it to see him as opposition leader to a government as incompetent as this one for the fireworks alone..........................................
almost.
I think we've given up on news being truly impartial.Who knows when less is more?
The polls will show, untill then it is our personal perceptions.
I agree it may be a case of 'over the top' positive reinforcement, however Gillard adopts the same methodology.
It must be flavour of the month from the spin kings. It all probably originates from online surveys conducted in conjunction with so you think you can trance.
I am a firm believer that middle Australia has already voted, the ABC should start and think about its own ar$e.
It would be terrible to see the ABC lose government support due to a percieved bias, after the election.
There is nothing worse than seing those dishing out crap, standing with placards in their hands saying "save our jobs".
This is where it is so important that news should be news not personal views.
Yes, it was much better than the leaders of our major parties currently offer.I just preferred John Howard's more dignified, restrained style.
No doubt entirely true.

He's was able to manage that by having other people do his dirty work (including Tony Abbott). He'd stand above the fray while his surrogates got their hands dirty.
Labor when it puts its mind to something makes any effort by anyone else look like childs play.Well all that will pale into insignificance if the Thomson, Gillard endemic union rorting comes to the fore.
It would make work choices look like childs play.LOL
:Reader Peter has gone to Insiders’ website and collected all the segment descriptors which refer to either Abbott or Gillard for this graph of the AbbottAbbottAbbott phenomenon -Abbott mentions to the left, Gillard to the right
That, friends, from the allegedly impartial and taxpayer-funded ABC, is absolutely astonishing.
Agree that the Left bias on Insiders is very obvious. It used to be a 'must watch' for me, but not now.
Especially when the odious David Marr is on.
No Chris, it's not fixed at $23 a tonne. It rises each year at CPI + 2,5% until it floats in 2015.CHRIS UHLMANN: So, three years from now, Australia's carbon price, now locked at $23 a tonne, will float and be set in the European marketplace to rise as high or fall as low as the market wills. This is widely seen as a good thing.
The fixed price The carbon price will start at $23.00 per tonne in 2012-13 and will be $24.15 in 2013-14 and $25.40 in 2014-15. The prices in the second and third year reflect a 2.5 per cent rise in real terms allowing for 2.5 per cent inflation per year (the midpoint of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s target range).
