Follow me on boats, Tony Abbott tells Julia Gillard | Courier Mail

Tony Abbott wants a return to the Howard days of appalling treatment of asylum seekers. Why are we prepared to let our fellow human beings be treated as political pawns?

TONY Abbott has called on the Federal Government to immediately adopt the Coalition's border protection policy.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has vowed to tackle the asylum seeker issue in the same spirit she resolved the bitter tax war with miners.

The Opposition says Ms Gillard must restore the Coalition's border protection policy.

"The Coalition has a policy, it's a policy that has worked in the past, it will work again in the future and I would invite her to adopt our policy immediately," he said.
