Questions raised whether asylum seeker detainment is another Labor ‘security failure’

Sky News host Chris Kenny has questioned whether Labor’s border protection is a “security failure” or, as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese would put it, “people playing politics”. “This border protection thing – is this a security failure, is this a border protection issue?” Mr Kenny said. “Or as the prime minister would have it, it’s just people playing politics.” On Friday, about 30 asylum seekers from Pakistan and Bangladesh arrived in the remote community of Beagle Bay, about 100km north of Broome. The Australian Border Force began taking control of the situation under Operation Sovereign Borders before it was reported another group of asylum seekers had reached Australian shores just hours later.
