People flag up what their policies are going to be.

But actually, what it's been is a systematic failure to control our borders going back, I would say, 25 years.

That's really what's happened.

I agree.

It's now become a massive issue.

And the big issue, actually, is because they put a lot of these so-called asylum seekers, and many of them are not, the economic seekers who want a better life here.

I don't blame them.

It's a great country to come to.

but a lot of them are being put in really nice quality hotels.

And while they're being processed, sometimes for two years, three years, they're living a very comfortable, luxurious life in neighborhoods where there is real abject poverty.

And that is what is causing a lot of unrest.

And I get that.

And I have great sympathy with the people who live in those areas who are really struggling to feed their kids, who are seeing these people coming in on the boats illegally and being put in fancy hotels.

That has to stop.

And you also have to process these people a lot quicker for their sake and for the country's.

Are you a genuine asylum seeker?

I never want this country to be a place that rejects genuine asylum seekers.

Why?

Well, because actually I believe that we have a duty to take care of people who are genuinely fleeing.

How about your own people?
