PM criticizes release of asylum seeker operation details

May 27, 2022 - 10:58 By ABC NEWS (Australia)

The Prime Minister says it was disgraceful for his predecessor to order public servants to release an election day statement on Asylum seekers. Anthony Albanese says it was a clear breach of caretaker conventions and a desperate attempt to politicise border security while votes were being cast. Meanwhile, the Nationals are set for a leadership challenge on Monday with at least one MP confirming he will seek the top job.
