Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil says her predecessor Peter Dutton must take the blame for what she says is a broken immigration system.
O’Neil’s comments were prompted by a media investigation that has disclosed significant visa rorting connected to sex trafficking, foreign worker exploitation and drug crime, with O’Neil flagging an independent investigation into the claims:
“We’ve ended up with a system where there’s massive visa queues and where the people who actually legitimately want to use the system can’t properly use it. And yet criminals who want to bring people into the country as slaves are able to somehow do it,” O’Neil said.
