Shadow home affairs minister James Paterson has again called for the resignation of Immigration Minister Andrew Giles, accusing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of having a 'tolerance for incompetence' by allowing the Minister to remain in his role.
The shadow home affairs minister has accused Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of showing"tolerance for incompetence" by allowing Immigration Minister Andrew Giles to remain in the role amid intense criticism of his handling of released immigration detainees.
Despite having previously being charged with breaching his visa conditions, the government did not oppose bail for the alleged offender and reports have subsequently revealed that the ankle monitor he was previously mandated to wear had been removed prior to the home invasion. "So far, neither he not the Home Affairs Minister has been able to explain why this person was free in the community, why they didn't oppose bail, why his ankle bracelet was removed, why before that his ankle bracelet wasn't working and it took days before police went and saw him.
According to Senator Paterson, the failure to make any applications was another example of incompetence on the behalf of both Mr Giles and Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil, adding neither was deserving of remaining in their role.
