Australia’s Department of Home Affairs: a department no one wanted with a minister no one trusts — not even his colleagues
In 2017 the Australian Department of Home Affairs was formed against all expert advice and against the grain of independent reviews and security analysts. As recently as 2015 (and 2008 before that) experts advised against it. The department’s creation was about internal power plays within the Liberal Party, and designed to appease Peter Dutton.
