Let us not forget this guy's record on asylum seekers. Rather than react calmly to the relatively modest number of refugees seeking asylum in Australia back in 2000, as Immigration Minister at the time, Ruddock did whatever he could to create a sense of panic...and now it obviously suits the Government to have Ruddock performing a similar role as Attorney-General to frighten the public with anti-terror laws. Ain't he magnificent? The Australian has a good article on this phenomenon today.
