Peter Dutton said perhaps the hardest words for any Opposition Leader on Monday.Kevin Rudd was right and he had been badly wrong.

When the LNP were Government Michael Pezzullo was very much “Minister
Dutton’s spokesperson on Immigration” One Might well ask if he remained
so after the May election and beholden to Dutton but not Clair O’Neill? Why did she need to persue him and ask “7 times” if all
legal requirements had been renewed? It seems the Opposition was fully
informed of the delay while she the Minister wasn't. Did Pezzulo feel he ran the Immigration portfolio and didn't need to advise the new Minister? If apologies aren't good enough for Ministers and they are required to walk what of Michael Pezullo?
The home affairs secretary, Michael Pezzullo, on Monday revealed that the department was aware as far back as January 2021 that the designation allowing offshore processing at Nauru would need to be renewed, but failed to alert the home affairs minister, Claire O’Neil. This was despite O’Neil asking on “at least seven” occasions if legal requirements for Operation Sovereign Borders were in place.
The evidence to Senate estimates blunts the Coalition’s attack on Labor over the issue as it also seeks to weaponise the abolition of temporary protection visas (TPVs) against the Albanese government. The Coalition has said the government’s failure to renew the designation of Nauru when it lapsed in October shows Labor is soft on borders.
The home affairs department’s lapse meant Nauru was not approved for immigration processing for four months

From blog contributors to Fox Corp. executives, nepo babies are a staple of the right-wing media universe.
