Does he hear himself? I thought this bloke used to be a cop?
Imagine hearing "I have grave concerns about the conduct of the magistrate's court. I would welcome a fugitive I've never met to my home and not turn him over to the authorities".
I'd sound like a criminal. Because at that point I would be. Australia is a signatory to the ICC. We are bound by its rulings.
Peter Dutton's misgivings are irrelevant. Either the world can take Australia at its word when it comes to treaties or it can't. It would not go well for us as a nation if we told the world that we no longer honour our treaties when our (possible) PM doesn't feel like it.
