He stopped nothing...restored control of nothing...

Donvoegt The Morrison government has nothing to offer on policy or vision so it turns the clock back 6 years and repeats the old scare and fear campaign on boats and evil refugees. Desperate and Nasty! ScottMorrisonMP

Did not stop the boats either

Typical SMH labour bias

For heavens sake, the defeat in yhe house was just another in a long line of coffin nails.

Announcing the re-opening of Christmas Is. will do more to encourage people smugglers than the humanitarian laws just passed.

The emperor has no clothes & must call an election NOW.

Election time

Your point being?

The boats never stopped. Please engage some journalistic integrity...

He never ever had control to begin with. why is lying

What happened to the boat that landed on the East coast in the Daintree? That was during the Libs watch. Time the media did their job.

Election ya tool, call it 👌

Oh look

Restored what control, the media black ban on the reporting the boats is the only thing he controls, the boats are still coming. auspol

He is weak and stupid, people have lost respect after the Turnbull fiasco.

jchimselfbigpo2 He never ever stopped the boats or deaths, just stopped reporting them

Labor weakened our border protection previously unleashing a tsunami of illegal boats. Hundreds drowned at sea. Why is Labor doing it again?

One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do .......

Is this the Channel 9 Sydney Morning Herald?

Indeed Morrison stopped the reporting... making it virtually impossible for reporters to go to either Manus or Nauru. This is not stopping the boats...it is stopping us all from knowing what was going on.

WRONG

auspol He has not been elected Prime Minister by the citizens of Australia - until he is I don't consider him to truly represent the people. Get back in Parliament, do some real work and bring the Election on NOW.

Morrison immediately stopped the reporting of boat arrivals. They didn't all stop coming.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Where's the smirk gone?

You mean the Australian labor party has just told all Australians we don’t give a shit about you.

Bishop64 It’s time for the election. Can’t wait to vote them out.

Labor apologist, Peter Hartcher, argues “the easier medical transfers do not apply to any new arrivals.” As if. After 12 months there will be demands to bring them here auspol

Here comes the hysterical headlines! What’s the alternative? labor?

I disagree, all he needs is a majority goverment then he will secure both are goverment and are borders. I am not convinced Bill can do the same.

davidbewart From “I stopped the boats” to “I rooted Parliament”. Wow!

Not quite right. He was largely responsible for establishing a regime to discourage or restrict boats, not stopping them. It could be said that he has been responsible for an increase in arrivals by plane. Has he controlled Australia’s borders? Probably no more than anyone else.

WhosFibbing Labor and the greens destroyed our borders

WhosFibbing He fought very hard Turnbull destroyed this government

It's a pretty conceit, isn't it: restored control of borders, lost control of Parliament? This ridiculous obsession with border control has created a myth of a constant threat of attack or invasion. Seriously? You're helping feed a nation with fear of people fleeing death?

Failed as Manager Tourism Australia, failed as PM of Australia

Bishop64 That's because he's a dill!

Control of the boats, never control of the planes 64000 'illegals' overstaying visas. 12000 'illegals' been in Oz for over 20 years. 20,000 'illegals' overstaying for 15 years 20,000 working taking Aussies jobs

The boats never stopped coming, they just get turned away, is that right? So why is that ignored the media and never mentioned by the government? ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP

Ch9! Great, must be true..

Time for an election!

What strength?

I wasn’t ever convinced our borders were out of control.

Will Turnbull take any responsibility for this? Somewhere between removing Abbott, the loss of 14 seats and walking away from his one seat majority electorate.

Only two kinds of people VOTE LNP The RICH and the STUPID Check your wallet and see where you fit in

he is doing a better job than labor

SCOMO didn't lose it. He was handed the poisoned chalice. He has done a great job. I hope he wins. He'll be a fantastic PM if given a proper chance.

ScottMorrisonMP should watch Trumps speech tonight but he is to stupid to do that

Scott Morrison to ignore vote on 'stupid' refugee bill | Sky News AustraliaThe Prime Minister says if he loses a border protection vote in parliament he will ‘simply ignore it’ because the bill is ‘stupid legislation’ and ‘written by people who haven’t got the faintest idea’. \n\nLabor is supporting the bill, which would make transfers for asylum seekers easier by giving the decision-making power to doctors. \n\nIf the government loses the vote, which they are expected to, it will be the first time since 1929 that a government has lost a vote on substantive legislation in the House of Representatives. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n\n\n Your advice has always been spot on Peta.

Lol - that ship sailed back in August.....and every thing they've done since has sent them further and further down the path to political oblivion If Australians vote in a Shorten Government, they will get a reliance on unreliable renewable energy, a return of the people smugglers, and end to coal mining, and a fall in their standard of living. It's unavoidable, you get what you vote for. 👨‍🌾 Not true.
