Asylum seekers – the sad state of affairs
The site of Senators Kate Lundy and George Brandis slugging it out on Monday night’s episode of Q&A on ABC Television pretty much summed up the sad state of affairs in the national political debate on asylum seekers – lots of talk, argument, grandstanding, pontificating, blame, but not much listening.
This, of course, is not an issue that is going to go away quickly, and there are no easy solutions for the ALP, politically speaking.
