Peter Dutton won't lift a finger for families escaping bombs, hunger and displacement. But he says he’d welcome a man accused of war crimes with open arms, even if it means defying international law.

The Nationals get less support nationally than the Greens, but have an outsized influence over policy. This is who the deputy prime minister would be under a Coalition government. It's not a fringe view – it's the leader of the junior coalition partner saying we don't think some kids deserve rights
The Nationals leader has just said children who commit crimes should have their civil rights "put aside" if anyone was wondering how the campaign was going.
