BEN FORDHAM It’s time now for ‘In The House’ with the Minister for Home Affairs Jason Clare and the Deputy Leader of the Opposition Julie Bishop.
Welcome to both of you. Thanks very much for being here.
First up let’s have a look at what Tony Abbott had to say on this issue just yesterday:
TONY ABBOTT: The operational control of Operation Sovereign Borders will be in the hands of a 3 Star Military Commander who will be reporting directly to the Minister for Immigration under the overall supervision of the National Security Committee of the Cabinet.
Ok Jason, to you first of all, what’s wrong with the Coalition’s idea?
