Nationals Senator Matt Canavan says the Albanese government does not seem to “have a handle” on national security and the safety of the Australian people.
“I think they need to get their act together,” Mr Canavan told Sky News Australia.
It comes as the High Court will today release the reasons for its decision to rule indefinite detention illegal.
“The government’s initial plan in response to the High Court decision was to release a bunch of hardened criminals on to our streets for three weeks without any plan to be able to control them or keep the safety of Australians in check,” Mr Canavan said.
“They only changed that approach because of the backlash that occurred from the wider public about this and it just shows how unprepared the government was for this situation.”
