It has been over 900 days since the last illegal migrant boat reached Australia, according to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, underlining the success of the Commonwealth’s uncompromising “stop the boats” policy. “We have now gone over 900 days without a successful people smuggling venture coming to Australia”, he said. “That is a remarkable achievement and one on which we can never be complacent.“We stand for security, for borders with integrity.

Twelve-months after his removal as leader of the Liberal/National conservative coalition, Mr. Abbott said all politicians had a duty to be “honest” with voters and not to deny what they can see for themselves.In an address to the Alliance of European Conservatives and Reformists in Prague, Mr. Abbott said it was “more important than ever to be brave” and Europe needed to consider immigration changes including the possibility of turning back migrant boats. “For some years, 500 million Europeans probably could absorb current inflows provided the newcomers were joining in, rather than breaking in,’’ Mr. Abbott said. “But a million people coming by boat and almost a million … [Read more...] about Former Australia PM Tony Abbott Tells EU: Seal Your Borders And Be Honest Over Scale Of Migrant Invasion
