Opposition leader Peter Dutton has rolled his eyes at the prospect of another Royal Commission, this time into the Department of Home Affairs and the potential murkiness around the contracts they handed out over the past decade.
Speaking to delegates from a number of non-government agencies today is Brisbane, Mr Dutton couldn’t help but avoid questions about the ongoing investigation into Home Affairs.
“Here we go,” laughed Dutton.
“Another Royal Commission? We all know what that means. Liberals = bad. Blah, blah, blah. ScoMo shit his pants at Engadine Maccas. We’ve heard it all before,”
“It wasn’t the Coalition that pulled itself silly over offshore detention, it was fucking Kevin and Julia that brought it back. We were happy putting them in the desert at Woomerah or letting them burn down Villawood once a quarter. If there is a Royal Commission into Home Affairs and how we gave contracts to some of the dodgiest people in the South Pacific, it should start when Kevin opened Nauru back up. Howard wanted to bring people in and process them here back in 2002,”
“Royal Commission… give me a fucking break.”
More to come.
