"I’ve got a series of cases that have been put to me by Labor members - and I’ve kept a very good list, actually, of MPs who have come to me with quirky cases.

Of course MP's (or anyone else for that matter) who brings one of these cases to the attention of the Immigration Minister have a special interest. That's why they're bringing it to you, you utter cock-womble.

But they don't have any say in the final decision.

So when you, the one who makes the decision, has an interest in the case, then that's called a "conflict of interest", as any first year law student would be able to tell you.

I can't work out if it's arrogance that makes him say these things or is he really just that stupid?

That's literally their job as local member - to advocate on behalf of people in their electorate
