Labor's visa overhaul has 'clearly put Australia at risk'

The Albanese government’s visa overhaul has "clearly put Australia at risk”, according to Shadow Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews. Labor is set to fulfil a major election promise on Monday by granting 19,000 people currently on Safe Haven Enterprise Visas (SHEV) and Temporary Protection Visas (TPVS) a transition to permanent visa status. “Look I hope the boats don’t continue but we know that under the Labor government, there’s been on average one boat a month since they were elected,” Ms Andrews told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “They’ve got some big issues that they’re going to have to face.”
