Shadow Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews says there is something seriously “not quite right” with the reauthorisation of the offshore immigration detention on Nauru.
“We know it is potentially an untested legal area because at no time during the Coalition’s watch anyway was there an issue in relation to Nauru being a designated regional processing centre,” she told commentator Steve Price.
“So this whole catastrophe happened on Labor’s watch and they can’t continue to keep blaming the Coalition.”

‘Big hole’: Karen Andrews claims Clare O’Neil made ‘untrue’ statement about Nauru briefingShadow Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews has expressed concerns over a “big hole” left in Australia’s security before the reinstatement of Nauru as a regional processing centre. Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil said during Question Time she was advised about Nauru on December 15. “That date was absolutely news to me because in that briefing on the Monday … I specifically asked questions about the timing and was not given a date other than late December,” Ms Andrews told commentator Steve Price. “For the Minister to go in post-Question Time and make a statement where she said that I had been advised on the 15th of December and that it was late, or words to that effect - but she said I was specifically advised on the 15th of December – was untrue.” Ms Andrews added it was “extraordinary” for a minister to go into the House and make a statement that was “untrue”. “Because I was not told a date of the 15th of December,” she said.
