PM has ‘abdicated’ his responsibility on borders: Marles28/01/2021|7min
Deputy Labor Leader Richard Marles says the pandemic has seen an “abdication” of Prime Minster Scott Morrison and his government from their federal role in relation to border issues.
This comes after Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese unveiled his new front bench following the decision to reshuffle the Shadow Cabinet.
“When we look at the way in which COVID has played out over the last year, despite the establishment of the National Cabinet, our federation has been put under enormous stress,” Mr Marles said.
“There has been an abdication by this prime minister and this government from playing the federal government role within our federation and everything we have seen, in respect of our borders.
