True that. Abbott's trite "Stop The Boats" claim is certainly deserving of criticism. He doesn't actually have a policy of "stopping" boats at their source, but he certainly agrees on punishing those who arrive here, by assigning them to detention in a country that is not a signatory to the UN Convention on Refugees and re-introducing the highly damaging policy of Temporary Protection Visas.
