That prompted a fiery showdown between Sunrise host Natalie Barr and Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil on Wednesday morning, with the Seven Network host demanding to know: 'How on earth has this happened?' Sunrise host Natalie Barr asked Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil how the Labor government had issued 149 invalid visas to freed immigration detainees Ms O'Neil blamed an issue in a law that passed Parliament under Tony Abbott's government in 2013. Opposition finance spokesperson Jane Hume defended the Liberal cabinet that passed the law back in 2013 while lashing the 'weak' Albanese government Earlier on Wednesday, Mr Giles refused to answer who was responsible for the blunder when questioned but said the mistake was first made in 2013.
