Why wait until there’s a crisis when you can just make one up! Via the AFR:
The Morrison government has beefed up its border protection measures and will reopen the Christmas Island detention centre in anticipation of what it claims will be a resumption of the people smuggling trade.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison made the announcement Wednesday following a meeting of the National Security Committee of Cabinet and just before the Senate ratified the bill backed by Labor, the Greens and independents which facilitates the transfer to Australia of detainees for medical treatment.
He also pledged to reverse the legislation if he won the next election and had a majority.
