Shadow Defence Industry Minister Phillip Thompson blames Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke for a major border security failure after detained Chinese asylum seekers were seen at a Far North Queensland pub. “It just simply shouldn’t be possible,” Mr Thompson told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. “It’s clear that Tony Burke has taken his eye off Operation Sovereign Borders and the security of our borders and our sea and our nation. “When they cut 20 per cent out of our sovereign borders… it was a green light to people smugglers; we’ve seen people smugglers try and get to Australia, and now we’ve seen them at a pub. “I think it’s an absolute failure.”
