Duttons office recieved press release twice - didn't read it twice

As incredibly unbelievable that cabbage head Peter Dutton, supposed immigration minister, didn't read a nationally released email about checking people's visas on the streets of Melbourne that was sent to him for approval (claiming it was routine and therefore he doesn't bother reading such things) it gets even worse.

Now it comes to light the email was sent twice. He or anyone in his office didn't read it twice. Oh come on Dutton.....  

He's incredibly lazy and incompetent, lying his ass off, or both. I'd say both.

The “very, very badly worded” Australian Border Force press release that appeared to threaten random visa checks on the streets of Melbourne was twice sent to the office of the immigration minister, Peter Dutton Guardian Australia has been told. 

It was also allegedly cleared at a high level in the border force’s Canberra headquarters. 

After the release sparked a snap protest on Friday and forced the Victorian police operation to be abandoned, the border force commissioner, Roman Quaedvlieg, said it had been “cleared at a low level in the organisation”. 

But a spokesman for Dutton confirmed on Sunday it had been sent to his office on Wednesday as an attachment to a briefing note about the weekend operation. “It was not opened or read because it looked like a routine operation,” the spokesman said. 

Sources later told Guardian Australia a shorter briefing note, again with the press release attached, was sent to Dutton’s office again on Thursday morning. more
