Meet the Press Live Blog part 2

Today's guests: Shadow Immigration Minister Tony Burke
Panel:Matt Franklin, Courier Mail; Jennifer Hewett, Australian Financial Review
Tony Burke's been all over the airwaves, and doing a very creditable job of his new portfolio I might add. Interesting to hear that Indonesia are considering opposing Bill Farmer as their new ambassador. How dare they, the provincials!

And THANK YOU - OMG - Burke just said not only that Amanda Vanstone should go but that Philip Ruddock is `not fit to be a minister in this government'!!!! *little dance*!!!

`No backwards steps' is how he characterises his approach to his portfolio. Too right Tone! The line `mandatory detention should not be indefinite detention' seems to have been added to the lexicon - we'll be hearing a lot more of this phrase.

All in all, he's doing well, though there is truth in the suggestion Hewett is making that while it's clearly egregious, the Australian public may simply not find enough in the topic of long term detainees to engage their interests. How that may be changed, I'm not sure - the Cornelia Rau incident came closest, but frankly, it won't be until a good true blue Aussie lass that everyone can sympathise with gets locked up in there that anyone will give a damn. Did anyone say Schapelle Corby?
