‘Incompetence the lot of them’: Labor’s ‘idiocy’ slammed amid detainee debacle

Sky News host Rowan Dean has slammed Labor’s “idiocy and incompetence” after the government “mucked up” again in the detainee debacle. It was revealed earlier this week that there were “technical inconsistencies” with the Abbott government-era laws surrounding the visas given to the cohort of detainees released into the community following a controversial High Court ruling last year. The legal issue was later fixed, and all 149 visas were reissued. Mr Dean reacted to the Albanese government “blaming everyone other than themselves”. “The classic Labor ploy,” he said. “Incompetence the lot of them.”
