Mr Taylor labelled Immigration Minister Andrew Giles "hopeless" as he argued the government was incapable of taking responsibility for its mistakes.

Out of the 149 member cohort, seven held murder convictions, 37 had been charged for sex offences and 72 convicted of violent crimes including assault, kidnapping and armed robbery.
