"It is not surprising that Mr Abbott has a view about the moral
dimension of refugee issues. It is entirely appropriate that he should
consider the matter from the perspective of Christian teaching, given
that he trained for the priesthood. I would go so far as to say that
more politicians should pay attention to the moral implications of the
policies they have to determine."

Julian Burnside has an excellent response to the Prime Minister.

Full disclosure: Julian is a friend of my family.
