A bad day for the Navy

It is becoming clearer why the Labor spin doctors worked so hard back in April last year to prevent details being released of what happened when the fishing boat loaded with Afghani refugees caught fire. Evidence given to the coronial inquest in Darwin suggests that the Navy hardly covered itself with glory. As one who wrote at the time that Malcolm Turnbull was wrong to suggest the Government was engaging in a cover-up by its silence I can but apologise to the former Opposition Leader. Clearly he was quite right.
