Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton is claiming vindication over the Federal Government's role in the Ruby Princess debacle after an independent report laid much of the blame on New South Wales Health officials.Peter Dutton has called for an apology from Kristina Keneally"The Australian Border Force have been vindicated today by the Walker Inquiry into the Ruby Princess," he said on Twitter.
"Officials will make mistakes in pandemics that none of us have had to manage before," Mr Morrison said. "In times like this, there will be errors made but what you have to ensure is that you learn from every single one of them and you emerge stronger."However, the report did rebuke the Federal Government for failing to fully cooperate with the investigation, by stopping a Commonwealth official from giving evidence.
Utter nonsense.
WHY WHY WHY aren’t politicians who have FAILED in there duties especially where people have DIED.... prosecuted and sent to jail for manslaughter!!!
BS, Peter Dutton trying to hide your incompetence. Couldn’t run a bath much less a Department or Australia’s defences
Accountants can make numbers say what they want and LNP can interpret findings anyway they want THIS IS WHY LNP SHOULD NEVER GOVERN
Denying the truth doesn’t stop it being the truth PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP
What Bullshit farce was the inquiry, bet they didnt even investigate the relationship between some passengers and members of the liberal party.
Considering Morrison blocked two witnesses giving evidence and threatened the inquiry with the high court, that assertion by Dutton is highly unlikely. Morrison and Dutton wanted to cover their arses as usual.
Dutton says a lot of things, most are lies
Think you need to re-read report Potato-head. It doesn't say that at all!!
Kristina Kennelly where are you AlboMP! Typical gone into hiding!
Woke World and it's latte sucking leftie disciples begs to differ and will drag this out until the next anti-government rant surfaces.
It’s your name on the door. Peter “Home Affairs” Dutton.
Government is setting up an inquiry to find out why Ruby Princess was built?
Oh what a surprise! It like a mother in law saying her son is wonderful? Instead lets talk about why the inquiry was stopped from inquiring into Dutton's Departments actions and from calling witnesses and threatedned with High Court challenges.
This isn’t transperancy!! Why didn’t they want this federal worker to appear at the inquiry? Commonwealth lawyers threatened legal action? What’s Morrison and Dutton trying to hide? Change your headline!
Mate, have I got a car for you! Yep,the tyres are bald,it chugs smoke,gears crunch,4MPG(59L/100km),no warranty,can’t get spare parts,costs a bloody fortune but this little rippa is ‘the car for you’! Who trusts a used car salesman when you want the truth?
The only line of defence in the Ruby Princess COVID mess were the airline ground staff who were overruled by their bosses.
The federal govt is nothing but an overpriced marketing arm.
'Monstrously corrupt minister who investigates himself declares he is innocent despite overwhelming evidence of guilt' Fixed your headline for you AuspolSoCorrupt
Stop quoting and become journalists Peter Dutton does not get off enquiry mentioned the Commonwealth stopped witnesses from being examined It's like catching a murderer but you can't interview them 🤔 auspol insiders ThisIsNotJournalism outsiders KKeneally PatsKarvelas
If that report vindicates the government. What a complete sham this country is. Complete cowards. Take the responsibility that comes with your office. Do something useful for gods sake! Support Australia don’t tear it down.
What a plonker he is, just shut up mate.
mvmsdazza hometobilo bringthemhere End this cruelty
“Peter Dutton says” means everything that was said is a lie or a misrepresentation of facts
Stop showing that on my feed. Eww.
It can't be a vindication when your leader purposely pull all stop to prevent people from your department to take part in the inquiry. Don't you realise Australians are smart? We watching and can see that this is a confirmation the LNP gov has something they want to hide.
Time to work together as a nation, as if under attack from a foreign aggressor. We are so so tired of pollies using this natural plague as a convenient excuse to attack others. Aussies want unity.
The Australian government is completely corrupt. Australian journalists must stand up, show some courage and start holding our elected officials to account. Thread 👇👇👇
FFS PeterDutton_MP PUT A SOCK IN IT! YOUR government REFUSED to let YOUR 'Border Force' FARCE answer questions, DESPITE the PM stating days before that THEY were in charge... ARE YOU THAT DESPERATE A LIAR?! LNP are LOSING the right to govern... Sadly...
Is he for real❓ The Federal govt REFUSED to allow it's staff to appear at the inquiry to be questioned after previously saying they would fully cooperate and now he claims they are vindicated ❓❓😡😡 What a load of rubbish ‼️‼️‼️👎👎
He's a really ugly guy.
He doesn't look right
Hogwash. It’s a corrupted commission hearing. Morrison and Dutton relevant officers from giving crucial evidence. It’s incomplete.
Oooh. Bet that stings to report.
No it doesn’t.
He’s NOT a monster !! No, seriously, he’s not a monster! Look I can’t prove it, you have to take my word for it but I believe everything Sumbag says & they’re doing a great job looking after the aged & unemployed & Covid is under control, Scumbag gave his word 👍
He wanted there to be all-powerful thug border police but not so much now. Resign Mr Potato head.
The ABC goes full Murdoch. Allowing the fascist authoritarian IPA/LNP regime to write its own headlines. ThisIsNotJournalism BoycottMurdoch auspol
He's misquoting. He's misdirecting. He's throwing mud instead of responding directly & openly. Walker said Morrison threatened to go to the High Court so Fed employees wldn't have to andswer Qs. That's no exoneration. A child in Kindy knows that.
That happens when you won't let key witnesses appear. Almost by design.
So the headline is Duttons opinion of a report that his government refused to cooperate with? Strange reporting don’t you think?
Dutton say blurp blurp blah blah blah heil me!
I don’t think so.... he should read it again . If he’s ever read it, would be a complete surprise
As I said and will say again MORRISON DUTTON BERIJIKLIAN AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS TO BLAME FOR THE RUBY PRINCESS AND THE DEATHS OF ALL THE PEOPLE . MORRISON IS A TRUMP CLONE WANTS TO BE A DICTATOR HE WILL NOT LET PEOPLE ANSWER SERIOUS QUESTIONS!!
Peter needs to return to school and get some basic education on how to read and he could do with some empathy training as well.
Typical Dutton; Morrison too. Announce Cwth control of cruise ships; fail to quarantine passengers; deny responsibility for error. Promise full cooperation with inquiry; resist full cooperation & preclude key witnesses from giving evidence; claim vindication in resulting report.
Bollocks!
Then peter is no longer fit for job
PeterDutton_MP should be in handcuffs locked up over RubyPrincess
Sorry far from it.
Won't be holding my breath for an apology from KK
xskinn Does this mean we don’t need the ABF then; and therefore Dutton no longer required?
ThisIsNotJournalism again.
闫丽梦博士继续接受班农采访揭露病毒真相
Would love to hear from any right wing nutter why you think it was appropriate for the Feds to not allow anyone from the federal government and their officials to not appear in front of the royal commission? I’m not going to hold my breath 😂
Whyalla55 Bullshit Dutton Check the facts ABC instead of publishing crap
I do not accept that.
xskinn What a lot of nonsense👎👎👎😡
Ruby Princess report does NOT vindicate PeterDutton_MP and Home Affairs FixedIt
I do love this headline. Even more so for who tweeted it than what it actually says
ABC Stop this nonsense.
It's not what Peter Dutton says, it's what the report says. Trying to skew the perception when they don't agree with the facts, another reason to privatise the ABC.
I couldn’t stop a boat says Peter Dutton, and I’m proud of it. dicksonsgift
peter I now you don't hair on top...try to grow a beard and you look more respectable..hmmm
constan10101 What does ABC say?
The blind, hard left will still blame the Federal government
Well in the words of Crime Minister Morrison, I don’t accept that. auspol
Who refused to release the passenger manifest?
Hmmm... I wonder, If KKeneally cannot understand Legislation relating to round trip cruises then why did Labor appoint her as opposition spokesthing for Border issues and why would she be elected if she cannot understand the relevant law? Oops, the public did not vote her in?
This LNP rabble is coated in Teflon. High time it was stripped off.
Yes read a few excerpts from that report found it to be one of if not the most biased and partisan liberal party robot I have ever read !
ChrisHipkins Important consideration with returning cruise ships to New Zealand with COVID19 new infections in Europe. jacindaardern
Who does he think is listening to his lies? trumpery alive and well in the LyingNastyParty. Federal government completely responsible. No excuse.
Peter Dutton says is not a headline, it’s propoganda. This is China style reporting. Next headline “The Speculator calls BS on ABC headline”.
I Trust Peter Dutton's word, The sooner he becomes PM the happier I will be.
Cue the salt mine...
Of course it does.
Look what the cat dragged in
Potato says what?
It didn't!
A minister talking point, is not fact! Why do you lower yourself to repeat everything these deceitful minsters say as fact. Why are you going to stand up and actually do some factual journalism
Good at spending tens of millions keeping a wanted family locked up. That is the extent of their capabilities. auspol
What else did you think he might say?Alternatively, He would say that, wouldn't he?
NO PeterDutton is still in trouble about RubyPrincess like this is not tightrope walking
For all the numpty heads that made negative and dim witted comments please let’s move on. It was a comprehensive report but some users commenting on this subject are getting just a bit silly.
Dutton is doing a great job. Thankfully Labor was denied the chance to bring in their open border free for all illegal gimigant debacle. You anti Dutton pea brains whining on here need to get off Twitter to stop clogging up the feed with your crap.
'Peter Dutton says', so no need to investigate further!
Angus vindicated (regularly)--Michaelia vindicated--Barnaby vindicated -Pell vindicated--Trump vindicated--Sth Oz Pollies vindicated--Not touching the people vindicated by US republicans lately-- I'm that vindickheaded after these glasses of red wine I'm willing to believe it all
So Dutton let his borderforce officials take part in the proceedings after all...and the dept was properly vindicated then?
ABC=Sky Lite.
Typical diatribe from the FakeNewsMedia that uses my TaxMoney.
Ruby Princess denies accepting any funds. . 'I couldn't cop his head' she said.
The government indicts itself by not allowing federal officers & politicians to testify at the RubyPrincess investigation.. only a gutless spiv like PeterDutton would say that.. avoiding scrutiny is NOT vindication
You somehow managed to twist this into a vindication of KK You really are despicably biased The report clearly exonerated the ABF Entirely and unequivocally This is not a 'claim' by Dutton It is a FACT
No, youlefty hacks The REPORT said it Why can't you just report the truth for once Conservatives are SICK and TIRED of your blatant bias Defund until fixed
Monkey nut
I’m not sure what’s going on with some twitter users but are they not able to read a report or listen to the news and understand what things mean. For example ABF cleared of any wrong doing its in black and white yet some drop kicks can’t except that. Get over it people
if Boarder Force had no role to play in returning cruise ships perhaps they could be disbanded and some of the savings invested in state health departments to prevent future failings.
Peter Dutton if you insist that border control is your claim to fame with illegal immigrants stop the boats why were missing in action in this crisis?
Govt refused to allow Border Force officials to front the inquiry, thus determining the outcome. How does that vindicate the Govt? (Waits for a journo to ask multiple questions on same issue at next presser. Nah it won't happen, it's not a Labor Govt.)
Anotherfalsehood from Dutton. ALL are to share the blame. ABF allow aircraft and ships to arrive in AUS. Quarantine and state health make biosecuroty and health decisions.
Delusional
Vindication yes, but also exposure of the farce that broader force really is. Despite the uniforms, the pomp and the hubris apparently they have no responsibility for protecting Australians or our boarders when a ship arrives from international waters.
Teflon Pete... comes with the job apparently.
Stenography
Well of course he would say that wouldn’t he? He never takes responsibility for anything
margmopp Imo NSW Health played a major part in the catastrophe.
At the end of the day.. What does it matter.. Mr Dutton is a dick.. Some departments failed in their duty of care.. It is all gone, finished, all the talk in the world can't change that.. Best take to smell the roses. While you still can
It's so easy for this government to spin their propaganda when supposed journalists regurgitate their talking points in headlines.
More a hollow victory, no point beating one's chest over it!!
It does not.
No it doesn't.
Is that really a quote from the report?
He lies.
Oh.. PeterDutton_MP says.. There is nothing like laying blame on others..?!!!
You could at least use the phrasing ‘Peter Dutton claims’ since it’s not actually a true statement.
Not the brightest spark is old Pete the Plod.
Yeah Nah . He refused to cooperate with the inquiry, this is how Authoritarian regime’s behave . Our Democracy has been hijacked by the LNPCrimeFamily .
ABC now just a repeater station for the LNP instead of investigation the claims made by Dutton and reporting that what he said is pure horseshlt
potato at it again..
Bull-poop
All I will say when something stinks it starts at the HEAD ScottMorrison
I don’t think it said that at all, but do go on
Would be great if you read it and posted your own report, rather than rely on Dutton for a précis. COVID19Aus RubyDutton RubyPrincess
BULLSHIT.
So if you arrive from international waters on a boat all you need is a note from NSW Health. And I can skip Border Protection, Customs, Visa control and bio security?!?!?!?! Will it work if I’m on the Good ship Lollipop? If I fly in on broomstick?
It’s best that Mr Dutton keeps his mouth shut. Claiming Vindication is extremely heartless as people have died
The feds did not interview- so no- PeterDutton_MP is incorrect.
Is this a Dutton quote or is openly supporting its LNP/IPA masters? JustAsking
So is Peter Dutton is blaming NSW government?
Did you look up that word in the dictionary? And cross reference the role of Dep Ag/Constitution etc?
Haha, of course he's gonna get that.
Is that really the headline, ABC? Can I suggest a more appropriate one, ‘Dodgy Dutton ducks accountability, again’.
If you call 'The ABF was in charge of the disembarking process' being vindicated. I'd call it bullshit or gaslighting the public. As the report on the inquiry is clear that DUTTON WAS IN CHARGE. I want to know was why they said 'I never deal with the ABF'. Why were they involved?
Not even quotation marks? The guy who wouldn't allow Federal public servants to attend the RC expects an apology 🤦♂️
We all know what it means when the LiarFromTheShire appears on Sydney radio station 2GB. He's feeling guilty and threatened to get caught out, and want the comfort of Murdoch protection. After all, he does pay him hefty protection money. LNPCrimeFamily
My mum taught me not to say anything if I have nothing nice to say.
Not only that, Australians need to know the moon is made of green cheese, the earth is flat and the LNP governs in the interests of all Australians, if you don't believe me just ask NewsCorp.
White Jesus wouldn't be able to contain his excitement when finally meeting Scotty's band of merry pricks
No ! Specifically dosen't
Dutton must be kidding himself
Misleading? Like hell it does! 😳😳😳
If it’s too hard for Border Force, they just throw a hospital pass to state agencies then heckle from the sidelines.
We don't really care what this LNPLiar has to say, but we do care what has to says in response.
Does RubyDutton think we are all stupid
Dutton is responsible for the borders, not the NSW Government.
Peter Dutton lies as per usual
Not buying that Mr Dutton. You are responsible for the security of our borders.
Can’t stand Dutton. He’s power hungry and dangerous.
However, the report did rebuke the Federal Government for failing to fully cooperate with the investigation, by stopping a Commonwealth official from giving evidence.
Of course KepalaKentang would say that. Never mind what he says, what does the report say? Is the LNP propaganda organ?
ScottyFromMarketing “some humble learnings”.... are that 8 months into this pandemic the Morrison Federal Govt has NO Department managing Human Biosecurity Border Control !! No plan. I wonder how many other countries are currently in the same position? auspol COVID19Aus
Morrison and a Dutton refused to cooperate with the inquiry failed to appear stoped others from appearing how is that a vindication. And now we know ABF under Dutton after letting the passengers off the ruby princess refused to give the airlines the names of the pax RubyDutton
Yeah ...right!
..🧐How is this decision a ‘vindication’? So many have died 😔as a result of this decision & yet every party involved just wants to pass the ‘blame’ from the State to Federal..
And I'm sure he thought Voldemort was a really good guy, just misunderstood. They have so much in common...
I don’t think so.
Of course Ditton would say that! 4corners BorderFarce auspol
Haha 😂 This one really hits the Twitterati where it hurts.
Really I must have read the wrong report
Not so much RubyDutton
Rubbish
The kids who attend Voldemort Dutton's childcare centres have more brains than him!
'Well he would, wouldn' 'e' (said in cockney Mandy Rice Davies voice)
Government prevented their people from giving evidence. So we still don't know what really happened. We only have half of the story. Questions to answer Dutton, questions to answer.
Gonna need some cream, butter, salt and pepper because that potato is mashed
A man who keeps a family (including children born in Australia and parents who are loved and contributing members of an Australian rural town) locked up in detention indefinitely at enormous, and needless, cost because of his own hubris will never be vindicated for anything IMHO.
Dear ABC, have you got any journos left who could dig a bit deeper? Alex Hawk, perhaps speak to him.
No he has misrepresented the result it indicated he was responsible ‼️‼️
What a joke. FFS. But I suppose it's the outcome that surprises nobody from this corrupt fucknuckle federal government
That’s nice dear, you continue to think that
You are a fool Dutton, if you think you can fool most of us over the rubyprincess debacle. You are solely responsible... own it and move on.
Juliero25710990 It's also necessary to keep in mind that the Govt wouldn't let officials appear before the inquiry. What added information could they have brought to the table?
Ah, the living dead PeterDutton_MP violates my Twitter feed again - where you’ve been hiding Pete?
How?
What an arrogant tossa Glade he's not the leader
It really doesn’t. Like, REALLY doesn’t. Maybe the headline should be something to do with what the report actually says...?
Shame he didn't front the commission, and nip all the scuttlebug in the bud. Wait would have shown how incompetent he and his dept were.
Is your job to just repost government quotes now?
When the star illnesses refuse to cooperate then claim victory you can only assume its sham justice
“Peter Dutton says” does not mean it’s correct. Maybe start with what the report actually says as the headline.
Does it ? I'm pretty sure it doesn't.
Has everyone forgotten Brad HAZZARDS role in this?
Mein Fuhrer Dutton is about as believable as Trump
No, it doesn't, It's not worth a penny, Morrison obstructed all who, we know to be at fault And Dutton is top on that list
It didn’t. He is ultimately responsible. Perhaps he can re-read the report and the Constitution to understand what his job entails. Ignorance of the law is no defence.
Interesting isn’t it. Public servants & NSW Health just get a free pass by the ABC. No naming the expert panel & focus on the appalling decisions that created this resulting in Australian death’s. All on the ABF & Labor.
The lead on this should be 'Despite the report identifying serious issues from the federal government side, Peter Dutton attempts to down-play it while refusing to let witnesses appear'
In a catastrophic health crisis smoko and Dutton have failed us all
Dutton, who has recently narrowly avoided jail for contempt of the law, seems to be badly misguided on the meanings of exoneration and vindication. He refused to cooperate and in other judicial settings that could have resulted in jail time.
He would.
PeterDutton_MP are you delusional? It’s a one sided story when your boss protects you and your Dept. Your Dept failed along with NSW Health
That's not how I read the report, the ABC are just quoting Dutton who is lying and put it in the headline. He has also been made responsible for some of the stuff-ups, together with Dpt Health. You left out that bit and the part about refusing to allow a person to speak out.
Anything is possible when you lie and obfuscate such inquiries PeterDutton_MP
Saying a secret wish out loud doesn’t make it come true
Incomplete findings as federal government refused to cooperate!
Even you’re not that stupid PeterDutton_MP
So why not just amplify what he says instead doing some of that journalism stuff hey
Is there any truth to the rumour that Dutton doesn’t listen?
Yeah if you're a ghoul maybe
i knew it was the work experience kid from NSW Health, responsible for all this...
PeterDutton_MP is a thug. He uses the border farce as his own personal army, like Hitler’s Gestapo. Hunting “illegals” & dumping them in detention, violating their human rights, for seeking refuge from untold horrors. It’s Australia’s second biggest shame, behind invasion.
Bullshit
Contrary to Dutton's claims, the report rebuked the Federal Government for failing to cooperate with the investigation by stopping a Commonwealth official from giving evidence. This leaves questions unanswered including any Alex Hawke / Morrison connection
Shouldn’t the headline be “KKeneally fucked it up again”.
Don’t worry KK will give him grief with her dirty filthy Democrat tactics she brought with her from America
PeterDutton_MP; the biggest fool we have in parliament. Corrupt and conscience-free.
Good work dutto
abcstinks
hahahahahahahahah..then why didn't ya let them appear before the commission..hahahahaha
Bull crap; it buries government in failure after failure after failure; and probably corruption as well.
THIS JUST PROVES HOW ARROGANT AND STUPID DUTTON IS!
Pigs arse!
'Peter Dutton says' That's what the report says too.
Bullshit
Yeah nah
The hell it does. It might be half a claim if the government didn’t blatantly block people from appearing before the inquiry. Dutton’s bullshit flowing freely again.
Another fascinating report from State Media. 🤮 auspol
All these lefties hyperventilating because PeterDutton_MP wasn't hung out to dry. There is a solution to your pain it involves and hot tub and a razor.
That’s a bald faced lie PeterDutton_MP
It's funny all these people refusing to accept the findings of the inquiry. If the inquiry in Victoria clears Andrews they'll be happy to use that to defend Vic Labor.
Which page did Spud read
Wrong. You didn’t stop the boat people died.
Not sure what report he read.
LOL, Wrong, potato head.
Judging by your headline, the reader would assume that Dutton and Feds were vindicated unless they read right down to the end where the Commission castigates them from not cooperating. You are pointing your readers to a positive look for the Govt where one doesnt exist.
Not transparent ABFcowards Not vindicated ABFcowards What are they hiding ABFcowards
Like hell it does, no way, it was on spuds watch, he cocked it up, bigtime, if i were gladys whose been thrown under a bus, i wouldnt cop this shit from this creep, both were to blame.
No it doesn't.
Can we have some Dutton besmirching? With extra smirch!
Dutton lies, people die.
No. It doesn't.
Not what it said at all. It says you both made a mess of it.
What is that saying .. 'Never start an inquiry unless you know the outcome'
Dutton says a lot of things that aren't true.
Has Border Force now developed a protocol for sharing ship passenger lists with airlines expected to transport the passengers?
Never listen to self-interested advice.
The fact that he’s come to that conclusion proves he doesn’t understand how to read a report 🙄
Headline doesn't match the story. Should read Federal Government rebuked for not cooperating with Enquiry
Too late for LNP lies. Vote them out.
It does not vindicate the Federal government. Of course, the Victorian government? That was vindicated after it was revealed that the Herald Sun's lie about the guards at the quarantine hotel was a lie.
Dutton lies, more peeps will die.
Also, what tf is a 'humble learning'?
' Peter Dutton is a Great Guy' says spokesman for Peter Dutton, Peter Dutton.....
That psycho KKeneally needs to apologize.
This guy thinks we’re stupid. Peak arrogance.
Yeah, I don't think that's right
Rare
It doesn't say that at all.
Ok then Winston.
Rubbish. Commonwealth was in charge and people got off.= failure.
Protecting our borders.... NOT
