http://www.theaustralian.com.au/nationa ... 6139700355OPPOSITION Leader Tony Abbott has given the strongest indication yet that he will not support the government's changes to migration laws to enable the offshore processing of asylum seekers.
Mr Abbott said he was troubled by proposed changes to legislation that he said would give "entirely unfettered discretion" to Immigration Minister Chris Bowen.
The government needs bipartisan support for the proposals because the Greens have ruled out supporting them.
"My difficulty with the government's proposed legislation is that it does strip out the protections that the Howard government thought were necessary," Mr Abbott said today.
"The Howard government and the coalition not only has the patent on offshore processing, it's pretty obvious having seen the legislation that we also have the patent on offshore protection."
He said other local Labor MPs were also likely to find the laws challenging.........
