The Coalition's plan also includes a dedicated multi-agency taskforce to identify and deport visa overstayers

Well, that doesn't sound at all like the Libs want an Australian version of ICE gestapoing their way through the streets to send anyone they don't like the look of to offshore gulags.

If you think it can't happen here, remember ... Americans probably thought the same thing.

You know the Libs are totalitarian elitists. And you know PHON are halfwitted bigots.

Don't let that shit get a toehold here, or we'll become Trump's America before you know it.

Didn't Dutton have Border Force harassing people on the streets of Melbourne in 2014?
