PRIME Minister Julia Gillard is facing a second humiliation over her Malaysia deal as she prepares for showdowns with Opposition Leader Tony Abbott and the left faction of her own caucus today.
The swap deal, already scuttled once by the High Court, is teetering again, The Daily Telegraph reported.
The government appears to have no alternative asylum seeker policy if the Opposition refuses to help change the Migration Act, amid concerns it would remove Australia’s human rights obligations.
Opposition MPs yesterday hardened their position against helping Ms Gillard to change the act to give the minister discretion to send asylum seekers to a third country of their choosing.
Ms Gillard has a meeting at noon today with Mr Abbott, who has said the proposed changes would strip protections for asylum seekers.

“To oppose a Malaysia people swap and then to facilitate it, that’s ridiculous,” Opposition treasury spokesman Joe Hockey said yesterday. “And then someone will come out and say you’re hypocrites because you’re now facilitating a policy you’re opposed to.”
Opposition climate spokesman Greg Hunt said it was unlikely the Coalition would support the proposed legislation changes as they stripped out Australia’s obligations under the 1951 UN Refugee Convention.
“I think in its current form it is exceptionally unlikely that we will support the bill. There’s still a cabinet and party-room process,” Mr Hunt said.Ms Gillard is also facing a revolt from Labor’s left faction, which will meet today.
She requires Coalition help to pass the proposed changes because the Greens will not vote with the government.
Ms Gillard trumpeted winning support from her caucus early last week but the release of drafts of the proposed legislation on Friday has sparked concern in the left over human rights.
Immigration Minister Chris Bowen was asked on Friday if he had an alternate plan if the Malaysia deal collapses this week for a second time.
“Well, we want to implement our option,” he said.
“I’ve seen the Opposition saying, ‘Well, what’s Plan B?’ Well Plan A is what counts.”
