‘Total trainwreck’: Michaelia Cash slams Labor’s ‘shambolic’ handling of detainee debacle
Shadow Attorney General Michaelia Cash has slammed Labor’s handling of the immigration detainee debacle as a “total trainwreck”.
The government has been under pressure in recent months over its response to the High Court’s decision in the NZYQ case, which led to the release of 149 detainees. “A competent government would continually be working with officials and with their legal drafters to put in place legislative responses,” Ms Cash told Sky News Australia.
“All you hear now, and this is directly from the Prime Minister, is ‘this is a decision of the High Court, hands up, there is nothing more we can do’. “It is totally shambolic, and I have to say what we saw on Friday with the admission that they had literally lost control of this portfolio really does say these two ministers should not be holding these portfolios.”
