If the Libs cut the refugee program, Labor would call it a dog whistle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, a frontbencher for almost the entirety of his political career and Labor’s key parliamentary tactician since 2013, is widely seen as masterful in his command of procedure and outmanoeuvring of the opposition.
