Asylum seekers: Australia's day of shame

Is it?

I certainly do not feel shamefull?

I do not feel the slightest bit guilty?

I do not mind people smugglers going out of business?

I do not mind Kevin Rudd's Immigration policies?

I do not mind a poor country like PNG getting financial help?

Cut and paste link here:_

Read the article,then read the comments at the end,same as it is here,a whole lot of different and varied opinions,thats why Australia is a democracy,so we all have freedom of speech,these economic asylum seekers want to come here for one reason,its not safety (they were safe in Indonesia)

Its not because they want to see what it feels like to be free (not when their women are downtrodden and forced to be compliant)

Its not because their homeland is unsafe ( otherwise the "Whole" poulation of that country would leave)

Why are they mostly young fit men?Why?

I think PNG is a better option as a deterant than any other option,I mean how many options do we have,we have 2 options,open border,closed border,what option would you take if you were Kevin Rudd?

Well which is it,open border or closed border with selective immigration based by percentage on skilled workers say 90% and humantarian 10%,the taxes from the 90% can be used to support the 10%,who by the way are brought here from overseas by Qantas not by "Boom Boom Bang Bang dobydoody" water taxi service,whose business motto is "One flat rate $5000 Yankee Dollar,guaranteed pickup by Silly Ozzie idiots" via Indonesia.

I for one have had enough of some scumbag Indonesian telling me who my neighbour is going to be,look after our own first,then spread the goodwill around,but we choose where our charity goes not these economic asylum seekers,they are quite safe in Indonesia,quite safe,but no dole or free housing there,is there.

The PNG locals have nothing,these freeloaders are going to be sent to a place where the natives were once headhunters,guess what they may be hungry too!

I am in agreement with Kevin Rudds immigration policies on illegal arrivals in Australia, and applying a reward for people smugglers. Australia needs to look after our own people first such as housing the homeless, making  sure elderly pensioners are getting support to enable them to stay in there own homes, and can afford food.  Our public hospitals need more support, also people with disabillities.  All the money given to the illegal arrivals in this country means less for Australians who need it the most and have alway paid taxes and have the right to be looked after. Also with many people out of work in Australia it is imprortant to train and find them jobs first as many are trying to support families and pay off homes.  Indonesia needs to be more responsible for people in there country instead of passing the buck.

Tone down the BS jesse . We have no military invasion nor are we under attack . We have a asylum seeker problem that is costing us a lot of money . Europe , USA and our Asian neighbours have the same problem only bigger . I support the PNG policy in that it acts as a deterrent . The Malaysian policy would have achieved a result but the coalition and courts were against it .

 Neither side of politics observes the UN convention in spirit or action . They should either honour the convention or withdraw from it . Neither side is willing to do that because of world perception . Forget the soap opera theatrics Jesse and try to be rational .

Some facts instead of the normal b/s and hate campaign that some folk here shamefully promote due to their ignorance and hatred for certain races and religions.

Great thinking.  Why don't we build a few ships to bring the whole 35 million from Afghanistan.  They can return with Australia's 23 million on board & the pensioners will live like kings in a beautiful country, until they run out of oil, then we can make some real money exporting Cocaine to the Afghans in Australia.  They will soon run out of money to build 1 BR homes at $250,000 each & die of starvation because there will be no working taxpayers to fund Centrelink.

HoHum,

I love true life pictures,dont you Jaggy Babyxx

Heres another Jaggy Baby

This is the sort of thing that they are complaining about in England about the Islamic Council.

Abby - besing a senior does not excuse you from mbeing ignorant. Hasn't it already been proven to you that the sharia law is not legally enforceable in the UK,a nd that the article has been exposed as false.

You persist in these lies, and that is why you are upset when I expose the likes of billygoat for what he really is - a nasty ugly piece of poo

They'e funny billygoat. i have no problem with them. what i do have a problem is your hateful rants against all muslims.

there're arseholes in every religion, race and country. but you want to tarnish a whole race and incite hatred because of your prejudices

I dont hate Muslims,I like them,just depends what marinade you use before cooking!

i rest my case

I dont!

Dagwood maybe your dumb as well stupid, isn't that exactly what your misguided brain is doing? With some idiot on their side, like you, no wonder they're not wanted,

It cant comprehend seth,its like sticking your head into a fish pond and having a conversation with a snail on the bottom?

Got no idea about what it says when its mouth opens,you know,got to put your brain in gear before you open your mouth,this one dumb,real dumb!

You have to marinade them JaggyBaby,to get the hashish out,and the bitterness towards women,marinades are good for that too,cant marinade the paedophilia out though thats cultural,not taste!
