Liberal backbencher Sophie Panopoulos, left, in Parliament yesterday, and Petro Georgiou, front right, the MP she labelled a political terrorist for his proposed immigration bills.
Media reports today suggest the Prime Minister is now facing the possibility of one or more Liberal senators crossing the floor if he cannot settle the backbench revolt over the Government's detention policy. For such a cunning politician it must be galling for Howard to see such a successful wedge coming apart at the seams, but that's the danger of opening the Pandora's box of racism and fear - it can come back to bite you.
