The Coalition is concerned about the increased risk to Australia’s border security by Labor’s deliberate and calculated dismantling of Operation Sovereign Borders (OSB) as the government confirms it will provide the legacy illegal boat arrival caseload with permanent visas. The Coalition has consistently warned that Labor’s plan to abolish Temporary Protection Visas (TPVs) will fulfil…
Subjects: Labor’s border protection legislation fail, cost of living pressures, Australian War Memorial KAREN ANDREWS: Last night, the Coalition bailed Labor out of yet another mistake in relation to border protection.

When asked yesterday about his border protection policies, Anthony Albanese said he supported Temporary Protection Visas (TPVs), before being shamed into another humiliating clarification that in fact Labor has never supported them.
