Shorten PM
And now a band of traitors plots to introduce – through terror – a Caliphate, an Islamic republic under Sharia Law.
That we have such elements in our country is the result of the scandalous mismanagement of our immigration programme.
As a direct result of Malcolm Fraser’s foolish ‘Lebanese concession’, we saw an influx of low skilled, poorly educated Lebanese Muslim immigrants and their radical preachers. Labor opportunistically locked in their vote, magnifying it with a generous family reunion scheme and fast-tracked citizenship. Immigration minister Chris Hurford was even stripped of his portfolio over plans to deport Sheik Taj el-Din Hilaly.
This mess was exacerbated when the Rudd and Gillard governments abandoned control of our maritime borders. Notwithstanding their clear mandate, the Abbott government was instructed by the commentariat that turning back the boats should not and could not be done, but if it were, would lead to conflict with Indonesia. Although the Abbott- Morrison model is now ‘world’s best practice’, Shorten still opposes it. This indicates that a Shorten government would, as defence is further run down, return to the open borders policy which resulted in over 1000 deaths and 50,000+ illegal immigrants.
Outsourcing the immigration programme to people smugglers means that not only economic and especially welfare immigrants come in disguised as refugees. It also means, as Europe is now discovering, that terrorists like Lindt Cafe killer Monis find it just as easy to gain refugee status and even to be funded by welfare. We repeatedly hear about jihadists off to commit unspeakable atrocities in the Middle East or planning to do the same here who are on the dole or disability pension.
His budget reply confirms that Shorten has also learned nothing about sound economic policy
. He failed to apologise for or even admit Labor’s insane waste of the surplus and of the enormous debt incurred, with monthly interest payments of around a billion dollars. Instead, he made a series of unfunded pledges which have been costed at $55-$60 billion.
Shorten apparently believes those disasters, BER, pink batts, Collins Class submarines and the NBN, were such successes they should be repeated. He even promises a well-endowed ‘smart investment fund’ to do what politicians are notoriously hopeless at doing, picking winners. As a Victorian, he must remember Labor’s earlier smart investment fund, Tricontinental, a disaster which bankrupted his State Bank.

Apparently "amnesia" sets in for the defeated party as well as those who voted them out of office and who now want them returned.
At least the smugglers have stopped trying to come to Australia from Indonesia; now seeing if they can get them in via another route.
Will be interesting to see how all this pans out. Libs adamant they will not be re-settled here.
If this were to happen there would be more setting sail towards "the promised land of milk and honey".
