LABOR has launched an advertising campaign portraying Tony Abbott as a betrayer of Liberal values who has turned his back on offshore processing for short-term political gain.

The radio advertisements will be played on high-rating AM and FM stations down the east coast and feature a man and a woman questioning why the Coalition would oppose offshore processing. The campaign will run into the next parliamentary sitting week, beginning on October 11, when a vote is expected on the government’s amendments to the Migration Act, which seek to put the controversial Malaysian solution and offshore processing beyond legal doubt.

But the opposition was sceptical last night about the impact the campaign would have, saying the public had come to distrust the government on the issue of border protection. “Two weeks of spin on radio won’t make up for years of policy failure,” opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison said.

“After all their failure, Labor still don’t understand that you can’t spin the boats away. You need proven policy.”

Labor is emboldened by internal research showing the majority of voters believe the opposition should support the government’s amendments.

The ALP considers the Opposition Leader’s plan to vote against the amendments as a high-risk strategy and reserves the option to widen its campaign.
