Great article.

Wotta mess.

Dear Sir Humphries

Your frank and fearless display of sound arguments with pertinent facts should in no way lead to any questioning of what is, after all, Kevin's pre-electoral policy.

"All boat people to PNG" only needs the appearance of working - for what 6 weeks? - until the election is won by Kevin.

AFTER the election, reality - including your facts and argument - particularly legal challenges - may well cause Kevin to listen or force him to return to "90% of boat people eventually living in Australia ie. muddling through".

I am sick of this disgusting garbage. WE are talking about human beings with human rights who are treated like commodities to be traded around the world to suit us.

I would not call 535 people causing $60 Million dollars damage and rioting, human beings, I call them SCUM and I hope not one of them gets into Australia.

Then should be deported as soon as convicted.

Marilyn, we are all sick of it but we are talking about 45 million displaced people who you want our borders opened to unfettered arrival to apply for asylum. Sorry, but that's not gonna happen under the LNP or Labor, so exercise some pragmatism, choose one path or the other, and vote for the best possible outcome.

Sorry, but you do not have the high moral ground on this you assume, so please stop your incessant bleating.

Luciferase,

Marilyn's "incessant bleating" (as you term it) is a very small voice on this forum which is mostly inhabited by a vocal majority who seem to think we're being invaded - and who dominate every thread by deriding anybody who argues the contrary..

She has every right to put her views forward here.
