Shadow home affairs minister Karen Andrews also today announced she will step down and not run for re-election due to a"range of factors". “It just makes people making those accusations come across as Ludacris really, clutching at straws,” she said.“If they can’t debate the point, if they can’t promote this concept as something is going to benefit all of Australia, they can’t guarantee that it’s going to provide the outcomes they claim it’s going to, they don’t have a leg to stand on.
“But those that are the most marginalised in this nation are mostly nothing but Indigenous in this country and so they’re often, their voices, are those that are disregarded, drowned out.”
