Andrew Giles ' days as Immigration Minister are numbered according to Nationals Senator Matt Canavan who has said it is a"matter of time" before he is sacked.Nationals Senator Matt Canavan has claimed Andrew Giles ' tenure as Immigration Minister is on its last legs after yet another high-profile blunder.

Mr Giles had told Sky News on Thursday the department was using drones, only to backtrack on the claim, blaming his department after he"relied on information" they"provided". “It's really just a matter of time before Andrew Giles loses his job, in my view, and the problem for our country is we actually need a migration minister,” Senator Canavan told First Edition host Peter Stefanovic.

“Questions have to be asked here about why the Prime Minister is not acting. He's clearly got no ministerial accountability in his own cabinet and it seems like he's protecting one of his own foot soldiers to protect his own position in jobs over protecting the national security of this country," he said.
