If Abbott interferes with Rudd's policy if and when he gets into government, it will show him to be a complete hypocrite.
So the Coaltion are to be forever stuck with Labor policies then Karnal.
Not in this lifetime anyway.
The Coalition have had their border protection policy tested years ago.
It works.
And when Rudds policy flops, it will change.
Nothing hypocritical about that.
Just common sense.
And if Labor's policy works, Abbott going back to the Pacific Solution - with offshore processing costing, what, about 2 billion dollars a year? - will seem like utter pigheadedness and hypocracy.
After all, he blamed Rudd for ditching the Pacific Solution. He's now going to dismantle the PNG fix?
He'll whinge now, but he'll keep every last bit of Rudd's plan.
It'll work too. It has to. Who's going to come to Australia to be sent to New Guinea?
