Anthony Albanese under fire over key claim about released asylum seeker accused ... trends now
Deputy Opposition leader Sussan Ley has slammed Anthony Albanese over a key claim about a newly released asylum seeker accused of bashing a grandmother.
Ms Ley unloaded on the Prime Minister on Sky News on Sunday as fallout continues over the alleged home invasion in Perth on April 16.
Ninette Simons, 73, and her husband Phillip, 76, were allegedly targetted by a trio that included 43-year-old Majid Jamshidi Doukoshkan - one of the 154 detainees released by the High Court.
Outrage was sparked after it was revealed an ankle monitoring bracelet had been removed from the detainee prior to the alleged break-in.
The Prime Minister said the decision was ultimately made by the Community Protection Board.
Revelations then emerged Jamshidi Doukoshkan was out on bail for previous offences with questions raised on why the Commonwealth did not oppose it.
The Albanese government claimed the protection board and the federal Director of Public Prosecutions were responsible for the matter.
Ms Ley has taken issue with the claim accusing Mr Albanese of trying to avoid accepting ownership for the massive bungle.
