Not for the basic and fundamental inhumanity of his suggestion that those refugees who recently lost family members in the Christmas Island boat wreck (including the 9 year old boy who lost both of his parents and his brother in the disaster) not be allowed to attend the funerals of their family members, but he apologises for the timing of his comments for the same day of said funerals.
No se disculpa por la crueldad fundamental de su sugerencia de que no se les permitiera a aquellos refugiados que hace poco perdieron a su familia en el barco hundido en Christmas Island (entre ellos un niño de 9 años que perdió a sus dos padres y a su hermano) a que asistieran a los funerales de su familia, sino que se disculpa por haber hecho el comentario el mismo día de dichos funerales.
