FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says reports of “double dipper” asylum seekers show the government doesn’t have a solution to the problem.
According to a News Ltd report on Friday, at least 11 people who arrived by boat previously and had their applications rejected, have again boarded vessels and returned to Australia to seek asylum. Some had changed their names.
Mr Abbott says the Howard government had created a solution with offshore detention in Nauru.
“The former government, of which I was a part, found a problem and created a solution,” he told reporters in Sydney.
“The current government, led by the prime minister, found a solution and turned it into a problem again.”
Labor frontbencher Tony Burke said the government had wanted to revive the Nauru option.
“What the parliament has failed to be able to do is come to a middle ground to say, `Let’s get something we can both agree on to be able to deal with this’,” he told the Seven Network.
Shadow treasurer Joe Hockey called for a return to Nauru along with temporary protection visas, which Labor is opposed to.
“It will work again. Just get on with it,” he told the Seven Network.
Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison said the government was wasting resources on would-be migrants that it should have been using to help people with genuine claims to asylum.
“The vast majority of cases we’re talking about are people whose claims have been rejected, so we’re not talking about refugees, we’re talking about people who have bogus claims,” he told Macquarie Radio on Friday.
Mr Morrison said there were likely to be many more “double dipping” cases than those reported by News Limited, and that Immigration Minister Chris Bowen had no idea of the scale of the problem.
