Leaked immigration policy debacle a boon for Angus Taylor

Every now and then, a complete balls-up can work in one’s favour.

The leaked document was prepared with signature blocks for Shadow Minister for Home Affairs, Senator Jonathon Duniam, and Shadow Immigration Minister, Senator Paul Scarr.

The tragedy that manifested at Bondi was, in my opinion, due to a two-pronged assault on our country. First, through a sustained domestic attack on Australian values and culture by our own political and cultural institutions, backed by Woke ideology. Second, by the federal and state governments and police by being actively weak on policing antisemitism and radical Islamist activism (which is still going on largely unchecked).

Sometimes in politics it is expedient to leak important documents.

Every now and then, a complete balls-up can work in one’s favour.

Yesterday’s leaked Shadow Cabinet document marked ‘Shadow Cabinet-In-Confidence’ outlining the Coalition’s immigration policy did just that.
