Wasn't all this covered last time? And the time before? And the time before?
^^^ well it's your mob in government obviously you voted them in to make decisions on your behalf so tell em to sort it out FFS.
It's not the job of the opposition to fix it they have a policy but that are not the government.
Seems to me there is a general reversal of attitude by forum subscribers from what it was a couple of years ago when Gypsy Drifter started a thread by the title of "Enough is Enough".
At the time I was branded "racist" and "bigot".
Well you can't call me that because like my mate Bazza, I hate or love everybody equally.[}:)][}:)]
logman, Your in a minority government with the greens, start ragging on them. Their the ones who blocked it in the senate.
It's not up to the opposition to fix your **** ups.
fact remains it's 4 boats in 7 days. 500 individuals minus the sri lankan trainee scuba divers
Another boat just intercepted today (fri)
Something has to be done soon.. Or I'm heading to Java to start a boat building business.
I don't see any problem with an insignificant number of asylum seekers. Protecting australian jobs is related to the high level of immigration, 457 visas and people like Gina hiring thousands of foreign workers.
The only problem with asylum seekers are the morons we have for leaders who signed up a convention for an unlimited number of refugees, f##wits should of put of cap on it.
How long does it take to enter a country with the correct documentation.... minutes. With the wrong documentation a lot longer and if you have NO documentation a lot longer and then if you have destroyed your documentation and are being evasive it takes a hell of a lot longer...... Duh !!!!
If you have traveled half way across the world using documentation why do you lose it just in the last bit? If you have managed to get here with out it then being honest and waiting shouldn't be a such problem should it?
What continues to cross my mind is the bit of water north of Australia must be littered with documents on the sea floor.
I was amazed just a few days ago when I took a relative (with USA passport + travel documents) to the airport how quickly the documentation process actually took.
now here me out
the Navy is already there ,so use them as target practice
the unfortunates will feed the sharks, which i might add are in
serious decline
the sunken vessel becomes an artificial reef for all other marine life
solves boat problem and is environmentaly friendly at the same time and
acts as a deterrant
win win win
Bizarrely Clive Palmer and the Greens seem to be adopting a similar strategy
- the Greens - increase the refugee intake numbers to a point where there actually IS a queue with some hope of getting into Australia - process them in Indonesia and fly the successful applicants here. No drowning on boats.
- Clive Palmer - fly them here, process them here, send those who are unsuccessful back
The major parties are looking at it from the wrong angle - if you want to stop people getting on boats and dying in an embarrassingly public fashion on the way - they need to have some other way of getting here.
Turn off the Welfare payments for the goat ropers that get here by sea.
Evacuate Christmas island. leave it uninhabited.
No more problem for hard working aussie tax payers.
Simple
though if we adopt Hamburglars option we will only have to do it once.
