The Morrison Government will not compromise on strong border protection.
Over 50,000 people arrived on over 800 boats.
There were 1,200 deaths at sea (that we know of).
Over 8,000 children were in detention.
17 detention centres needed to open.
Labor's border failures caused a cost blow out of $16 billion.
Boat turnbacks when it is safe to do so.
Since this Government was elected, it has returned over 800 people from 34 boats and disrupted another 80 attempted ventures.
Each of these policies are necessary, to protect our borders and deny people smugglers a product to sell.
Stopping the boats has enabled the Government to close 19 detention centres and remove all children from detention.
Because we restored integrity to our immigration system, we could increase Australia's generous refugee and humanitarian program from 13,750 refugees in 2013-14 to 18,750 in 2018-19.
Recently, Labor voted to undermine offshore processing. Labor also opposed Temporary Protection Visas.
This sends a dangerous signal to people smugglers, who are ready to exploit any weakness. It shows Labor can't be trusted on border security.
Since December 2014, the Government has cancelled the visas of nearly 4,400 dangerous criminals, and refused visas for another 1,843.
The Australian Border Force has seized over 12 tonnes of illicit drugs and precursors at the border since July 2018.
