Barnaby Joyce just told parliament that one of the reasons we joined the invasion of Afghanistan was the Bali bombing, which occurred the year after we invaded Afghanistan. Your Deputy Prime Minister, folks.
@Peter_Fitz@NswPol Here the problem though. The border runs right through a Main Street I. The middle of a highly populated area. Loads of people live on one side and work in the other. The entire region agrees- we need the border bubble re-implemented and the “border” moved about 20 km south.

Bob Hawke's tears for the victims of the Tiananmen Square massacre ushered in a new sympathy for refugees in Australia. Following this famous speech, he made a unilateral promise, without consulting his cabinet, to offer asylum to thousands of Chinese students.

@leighsales He’s a numbers guys. Ask him about the number 26. The most embarrassing number in a long list of embarrassing numbers caused but this government….
@abcnews Let’s make this very clear- we substituting in 3000 Afghans into our “refuge quota” 🤢🤮 We are NOT taking any extra. This is an incredible failure of our humanity. Especially for the “lucky country.”
3000 visas for evacuated Afghans is too little too late. And taking them from the existing humanitarian quota is heartless. We helped make this mess, we must help clean it up. #auspol#politas
