Tehan claims Giles not being upfront' on immigration detention situation

Shadow immigration minister Dan Tehan is the guest on ABC radio RN Breakfast.

What we're calling for is for minister Giles for the first time to be transparent, to be very clear to the Australian people. What is the scale and size of this mess that he's got us into? And what is his plan to get us out of it? And so far and we've seen this in question time now for six months. He just refuses to be upfront with the Australian people on this issue

As minister, I would take those legal briefings, and I would look at all the information. I would make sure that we're being upfront with the Australian people as the size of the challenge that is confronting the government and then work through it with my number one priority in place, keeping the Australian community in place.
