why the heck do some deem it necessary for our Government to have the same kind of support  (like that of Pickering for example) they had while in opposition ?

Labor's immigration spokesman, Richard Marles, and former immigration minister Tony Burke suggested Labor is behind the recent drop in boat arrivals, not the newly elected Coalition government.

Well the Libs must be doing something correct if tha ALP  are claiming  "credit", or if the reduction "is" due to the ALP efforts (don't mention Rudd's sinking of the Pacific Solution) what parts will be blamed upon the Libs?

Phew, glad that's sorted
