“Ian Macphee told me stories of how, as immigration minister, he’d ring Fraser to tell him another Vietnamese boat had arrived at Christmas Island. ‘Let them in,’ Fraser said. Macphee rang Fraser to tell him a boat had made it to Darwin carrying Vietnamese people with no papers. ‘Let them in.’”

Can you imagine any Labor or Liberal politician being so humane.
