PM using border battles to 'distract from failings of his government': Bowen
Shadow Health Minister Chris Bowen says the border battle between the federal government and state premiers is a distraction strategy by the Prime Minister to mask the failings of his government. “Let’s just call this what it is, this is Scott Morrison and Josh Frydenberg using a fight about internal borders to distract from their own failings,” Mr Bowen told Sky News. “Josh Frydenberg has gone all Trumpian, I’m surprised he didn’t tweet in capital letters about Victoria, ‘liberate Victoria’ yesterday. “Every time Scott Morrison and Josh Frydenberg and the federal government have interfered in state border matters, they’ve got it wrong. “They should be focused on fixing what is their constitutional responsibility which is the aged care scandal.” The minister said the decision to open borders was ultimately up to the premiers and Labor was prepared to back them. “This is a moment for federal politicians to provide support to their state counterparts, not engage in Trumpian rants about opening up too quickly,” he said. “We were all in this together until it suited Scott Morrison not to be. “The Liberal Party once upon a time was the party of states’ rights … that was when the Liberal Party actually believed in something, that was a while ago now and it’s certainly not while Scott Morrison is its leader.” Image: News Corp Australia
