In a statement reminiscent of John Howard's "I will determine who comes to this country" pledge on asylum seekers. "The government I lead is one where Australia makes conclusions on who it issues visas to or not. The Liberal Party is now saying that when it comes to Australia's visa policy we've got to get a authorize slip from another country, in this case China."
