Im supprized the labour government hasn't introduced a asylum seeker tax 30 $ per head She seems to have a tax for everything else.
2nd point first Lefty My limited understanding of the UN convention on refugees says we are only obligated to give them food and shelter whilst processing their application with no time limit imposed upon us to do so, within reason, not withstanding these people do nothing to help the authorities find out who they are or where they come from, (what have they got to hide?). I also don't think the UN convention on refugees says they can riot, burn, destroy and break out of the accomodation provided because they get impatient. Us "imbeciles" you speak of have never said we would not accept genuine refugees who apply through the correct channels and co-operate fully to enter this country and wish to make a contibution, not live on welfare.
1st point, if we had to flee from persecution here at some time, how would we be treated if we lobbed in their country? there is no way you would be extended the courtesy Oz provides. the old saying applies, "don't bite the hand that feeds you"
Wouldn't the people that set fire to the detention centre now be regarded as "alleged" arsonists and criminals and should be prosecuted as such.
And I would assume that Australia would not allow anyone with a confirmed criminal record or "alleged" criminal record into the country. (Yes I know Australia was colonized buy criminals being sent here)
Cam0063 - spot on and spoken by one who has seen it.
The counter opinion is usually spoken by those who have not see it, but rather have been indictrinated by the land rights for gay whales activists
I am confused as to why I have seen Kiwis who are here legally get deported due to offences thay have committed.
Immigrants who have been here for years have likewise been deported due to criminal offending.
So why do we put up with people who have no immigration status yet, doing these things?
Poor reli, if you looked at what Felix is saying instead of ridiculing him, he is saying he is as happy as a pig in mud to be here, been given opportunities he would never have had, prepared to work and assimilate into our culture, (maybe part of the reason he came here in the first place), paying his way and will be a great benefit to Australia, and maybe bring a small piece of his culture here for us to experience. Don't get me wrong, I love experiencing different cultures, love Melbourne, for example, tasting the huge variety of food available there, but don't come here and try and force those varieties on me, same as I wouldn't go to another country and complain I can't find Aussie food on every street corner and then riot and pillage to try and force change to that culture.

He's my brother
I'm from Iraq originally. I speak Persian, Sanskrit and English fluently.
I am into Islam and think Taoism is kinda cool.
I came here on a leaky boat was intercepted at Ashmoore reef and held in detention for 3 years whilst my application was approved.
I had to leave Iraq as i was being persecuted for voicing my families and my communities need for a democratic freedom.
My life was in peril so i fled.
My family were all murdered in my homelands for their demands for a free society.
It has been difficult here everyone thinks i am a terrorist or going to put bombs in hay street. However i am not like that. I condone violence and wish my life to in some way benefit mankind.
In fact i'm just like you except i haven't been afforded the same oppertunities like the ability to apply for a passport or a visa via an embassy or diplomatic assistance. In fact if i had applied for a passport the authorities would have detained me and probably killed me.
I am actually employed as a Dr in our local hospital. My qualifications weren't initially recognised so i had to undertake retraining. I found the studies just a duplication of what i had already been taught and a complete waste of time.
I work i pay taxes. I have come to love Australia and enjoy everything that it has to offer. I fish, i sail i kite i SUP plus i eat lamb - halal of course.
True story.
Thanks Gunna you are dead right, when I came 20 some years ago I did it by choice because I wanted it, I was not expecting anything Australia but I happy to accept all what came my way and the best thing was to embrace the layback have a go culture, I did a bit of English school at the time and found that the more negative ppl in class where the refugees, maybe because unlike me they came because they had to and had a bit of bitterness in them. When ppl complained to me about how this and that is so much better in my country and I started to tell them “ well if you are not happy here you can go back in your country when you want as you are now in a free country”. This landed me in hot water with a few of the English teachers at the time, but always felt strongly about it.
I had to leave Iraq as i was being persecuted for voicing my families and my communities need for a democratic freedom.
My life was in peril so i fled.
My family were all murdered in my homelands for their demands for a free society.
So you let it to your family and countrymen to try to improve the situation and you fled Iraq????

Really????? Maybe you are not that good at "grammer" too!![}:)]
I found the studies just a duplication of what i had already been taught and a complete waste of time.
That is the rule of the land.... but you can't stop yourself to complain about it, but maybe it is like I said before... the doctors are so much better in your country! I am not a doctor but still had to pass all my engineering tests before been allow to work here and did not cried and winged about it!
You are right I now feel sorry for you.
PR are you leaving............ sorry (not).............. please stay (not)! [}:)]
