Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil has accused Opposition Leader Peter Dutton of starving the immigration system of resources and allowing criminal syndicates to exploit weaknesses.
It comes as new measures are announced to combat migration agents exploiting Australia's visa system, including human trafficking and organised crime. Mr Dutton has responded to Minister O'Neil’s criticism, defending the Coalition government's efforts on the issue."We, on a record basis, cancelled the visas of criminals who have committed sexual offences and other serious offenses against Australians. So, if you think I'm going to take a lecture from Clare O'Neil and Anthony Albanese in relation to migration and how to keep our country safe, you've got another thing coming.
"It's dignitary, it's by my fellow peers, it doesn't get much better than this. This is the top of the mountain, this is like a Mount Everest so I'm truly grateful to be bestowed this honour."
