Immigration Minister Andrew Giles has “got to go” after blaming his department for false information about drones being used to track released detainees, Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said.
Immigration Minister Andrew Giles has come under fire from Sky News Australia Political Editor Andrew Clennell who lambasted the under-fire frontbencher's false claim the government was using drones to track released detainees.
Mr Giles’ blunder drew the ire of Clennell who questioned why the Immigration Minister remained in his job after repeated stuff ups. “You cannot carry someone like this. If you do as a leader then you end up going down with them. It's as simple as that.” “Andrew Giles’ office told me on Saturday morning that the minister's statement on drones was correct. Andrew Giles’ office told me that,” Clennell said.
Mr Wolahan said drones were likely better used for Uber Eats deliveries than for tracking released detainees. Picture: Sky News
