Turning back boats when it is safe to do so

Is that what we are doing?

Hope so

Apparently we are buying brand-new lifeboats and giving them to the smugglers when they arrive in an un-seaworthy boat

I saw that flick across the tv screen earlier and hoped I was mistaken...........

[donnashuggy]

So we may be turning back life boats instead? I wonder if the smugglers know how to do U turns?

Another "policy-on-the-go" decision from a stumbling government.  They just can't get it right can they.   Just seeing Morrison on TV with his fear grin (the man is clearly out of his depth, no pun intended) makes me cringe.  The unspeakable defending the indefensible.
