Tony Windsor savages Abbott over boarder force bullshit

What on earth were they thinking? 

 Did they assume that suddenly Australia had turned into 1930's Germany? Did they think that people weren't going to be bothered by being stopped in the streets of Melbourne to have their visas checked? Did they think the population would simply comply like sheeple? FFS it's not like Melbourne is any kind of hub for TERROR!©

 But they appear to have assumed all of the above. It beggars belief that they thought they could get away with this bullshit.
The statement said officers would be positioned "at various locations around the CBD speaking with any individual we cross paths with … if you commit visa fraud you should know it's only a matter of time before you're caught out".

 The quotes were attributed to Don Smith, Border Force regional commander for Victoria and Tasmania.

 The statement was widely interpreted to mean the Border Force would be stopping people for random visa checks. The agency later clarified it would check the visas of people "referred to us" by police and other agencies involved in the operation. more
Even if it wasn't a random visa check, WTF are authorities doing checking various people on the streets of Melbourne for a visa? Who the hell carries their passport around everywhere anyway? Mine's expired. Would that be a problem for them then? Do I have to start carrying my citizenship certificate everywhere? Oh it's insanely ridiculous,

 Needless to say there was community outrage aplenty. Being stopped for a visa check in the street is very Nazi Germany to say the least. A flash protest happened with the help of social media. The crowd stopped traffic. The whole operation was called off.

 Now everyone is asking Abbott a very big WTF?

 Tony Windsor has I think the most cutting critique, pretty much chewing up the Abbott gov and spitting it out.

Former independent MP Tony Windsor has hit out at a bungled government operation that would have seen people stopped for passport checks on the streets of Melbourne, telling ABC radio he had no doubt that some in the Abbott government "hopes that something goes wrong domestically". 

Speaking on ABC radio national current affairs program AM, Mr Windsor said the Border Force operation was no mistake, but a "deliberate agenda to create fear in the community". 

Mr Windsor said: "I've got no doubt that some of these people in Abbott's government hope that something goes wrong domestically. That they can taunt a Muslim into doing something so that they can say that we're the only ones that can protect you, the Labor party are too weak to protect you, vote for us," he said, adding, "I think that's an extraordinary agenda to go to an election on." more
