As Ash states in the post, neither the PM nor Liealot has any power to stop people getting on boats and trying to reach our shores.

They have no power over what occurs in other countries, nor do they have the power, the right or the authority to patrol other countries’ borders or force boats in international waters to turn around.

Liealot is grandstanding for his redneck audience, but as always, he is long on rhetoric, but very short on facts and truth.
