Sunday morning presser @ScottMorrisonMP on @abcnews said
"You ask me 'what is the evidence the govt's border protection policies work? - There have been no boats"

So, that would mean ZERO increases in Illegal Maritime Arrivals (IMAs) right?

Um... no Prime Moron is lying

31 August 2018

Increase of IMAs is ZERO

Zero despite the fact that on 26th August 2018 a boat arrived in North QLD with reportedly 30 people onboard (17 later confirmed), as reported in the mainstream media.

These people don't appear to have been recorded in the data.

Two days after @ScottMorrisonMP became Prime Minister after the #Libspill a boat arrived in Queensland.

So, the boats HAVE NOT EVEN STOPPED during Morrison's Prime Minister-ship.

Morrison's lies know no end.

So, either these Illegal Maritime Arrivals walked on water across the oceans or @ScottMorrisonMP is lying when he says 'there have been no boats'.

More lies from Morrison that don't even match up with his own Home Affairs Dept statistics.

And, the Dept of Home Affairs is fudging the figures because 17 people were reportedly taken to Christmas Island in August and yet no increase in IMAs was recorded in on 31 August 2018 & CI recorded a decrease in numbers.
