Soon, Andrew Giles will no longer be the Minister for Immigration. He will either go willingly or unwillingly. He will stand down or he will be sacked. It is just a matter of time. How and when it happens, though, shapes up as the biggest test Anthony Albanese has confronted as Prime Minister. Not “one” of the biggest tests. The biggest. This is his moment for real leadership. It is a moment for foresight over friendship, strength over sentiment, business over benevolence.

But what it could control was how those detainees were monitored when they were released and how well the community was protected. On both counts it failed. Giles’ office sought to shift the blame to state courts and the Community Protection Board — a board the minister himself put in place. But the person responsible is Andrew Giles. That’s what the Westminster system of government demands. It is what ministerial responsibility means.
