Thankyou.
You are at odds with even Stephen Conroy himself as he withdrew the remark although he didn't apologise.
Thankyou.I didn't think Conroy was out of line but then I think the Senators generally aren't aggressive enough with witnesses who obfuscate and filibuster.
Scott Morrison himself said he could guarantee the safety of detainees inside detention centres.
As someone died inside a detention centre, why shouldn't Morrison take responsibility and resign ?
Why should Morrison resign when the detention camp was set up by Labor....

Because Morrison is in charge now, and he hasn't shut down the camp. He personally guaranteed safety inside the camp and reneged. It's his responsibility.
If Manus Island camp was shut down where would/should the current detainees be held.

1200+ boat deaths in Labor reign = page 5 of SMH in a 2 column byline. 1 dead Iranian on Liberals watch = media hysteria? I just love how they have painted the immigrant Iranian to be a saint !! Lets canonise him next eh what?
You don't appear to appreciate the difference between people killed on the high seas and deaths in Australian custody.
Assigning all blame to Labor for drownings at sea and none to Morrison for a death in his custody is one eyed.
Demanding the resignation of Morrison for one death in a bad situation that was caused by labor whilst ignoring the good job he is doing to rectify this bad situation is one eyed.
Stopping a few boats at the cost of a cooperative relationship with nearby countries is not good policy. The pace of arrivals started slowing after the PNG agreement set up by Rudd.
The Abbott/Morrison approach is overly aggressive and does not improve our image with countries that we are trying to establish better trade relationships with.
A few questions for you Rumpole. Do you give any credit for Morrison and the government for progress they have made on the issue of asylum seekers. Do blame labor at all for leaving government with overflowing camps at Manus and Naru and the hundreds of deaths at sea during their watch. If you don't think the deaths at sea was in anyway Labor's fault do you think it is worthy to take steps that may reduce or halt deaths at sea.
As I said in the Abbott Government thread, the Malaysia solution was discussed at length in this thread at the time it was proposed.The Malaysia solution would have worked, and was a cooperative agreement with another country rather than a conflicting one.
I maintain the contention that this policy has a cost, either now or in the future. With a huge emerging market to our north is it worth risking this just to attempt to prove to the ultra-Right that the Abbott government is gung ho ?
If people arriving without visas are not going to be settled in Australia, there is no point in them coming here.
