Senator RONALDSON (Victoria) (14:19): Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Now we have pushed the button. Isn't it the case, Minister, that on your watch we have seen our borders overrun by people smugglers, a regulation that almost shut down the Queensland community service sector and now inaction that has forced Qantas to ground its fleet? Minister, isn't the backbencher who said, 'Everything he touches turns to the proverbial; he left us with this problem on border security and he's not much better in IR,' spot on? Minister, why shouldn't the words 'I did not anticipate it' be your political epitaph?
