Senate demands the Government reveal details of trafficking bribes within 24 hours
The Senate has passed the Greens Order to Produce Documents, compelling the Government to reveal whether taxpayer funds were spent paying off the crews of asylum seeker boats out on the high seas.
The Government now has until 3:00pm EST tomorrow, Wednesday June 17 to comply.
“Allegations that $30,000 in taxpayer money has been used to pay people traffickers are extremely serious, and cannot be ignored,” Greens spokesperson for Immigration Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said.
