David Littleproud clashes with Sky News host over Dutton’s calls for visa ban

Nationals Leader David Littleproud has clashed with Sky News host Laura Jayes over Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s call for an outright ban on all refugee arrivals from war-torn Gaza. Mr Dutton argued Prime Minister Albanese misled parliament by quoting selectively from the ABC’s interview with ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess last week in terms of security checks on the Palestinians who came here. “Those 1,300 visas, many of those were done in a matter of a couple of hours,” Mr Littleproud told Sky News Australia. “All, on average, were done within 24 hours. “We have serious concerns about whether the criteria was hit because of the process the government took in place in terms of making those concerns.”
