People arriving illegally by smugglers’ boats should not be part of any refugee intake. We have an orderly refugee intake, and only those who have been processed offshore should be taken in. Illegals are cheats and queue-jumpers, more likely to be non-genuine because they have passed through countries where they could have applied to UN officials for asylum en route just as the ones waiting overseas have done. They know that, if they can reach Australia, they are 99.9% sure to be allowed to stay, no matter what fantasy stories they tell.

Italy received 36,000 illegals in 2008 because they don’t have an offshore intake as does Australia; asylum seekers have to actually reach the country before they are even considered, in most countries.

Just because “Our population worldwide continues to spiral”, doesn’t mean that we should be taking in so-called refugees. Personal danger is the criteria.

And yes, as the author says, for every illegal ‘boat person’ allowed to stay in Australia, there is one processed and law-abiding refugee who misses out. The open-border maniacs don’t see the unfairness of this.

The author refers to “an audience member” attending that totally unbalanced ABC programme ‘Q & A’ claiming that “more than 90 per cent of boat people are found to be genuine refugees.”

Oh yes? How does this unnamed individual know this when the whole business is kept secret, and our immigration officials are proven incompetents who fall for any story they hear from undocumented illegals? And, let’s not forget the Labor Government has told members of a government-appointed review panel that they will not keep their jobs if they knock too many back. Illegals do not have access to the court system now. When they did, judges were told the three same, rehearsed stories, and they could knock back the shonks because all they had to do was make a finding on the legal aspects of the reason for denying people visas. Now, just about everyone one is allowed to stay, thanks to Labor.

As far as the general public knows, there is no evidence whatsoever that any of the illegal boat arrivals are genuine refugees fleeing from personal danger.

This is a well-balanced article, loaded with common sense and enough ‘compassion’ to mollify the looniest Lefty. The statement that: “The notion of seeking asylum in Australia by boat must be rendered an impossible one” is undeniable.

So predictable... in spite of a well argued and deeply reasoned article any *hint* of Australia controlling it's own destiny is quickly assailed by the forces of darkness, trying to undermine any vestige of sovereignty and dismantle 'White Power Structures' as they see it, totally in harmony with the ideas underpinning their political viewpoint:

and their more recent comrades in Australia:

Denying opportunity to those who are in camps already for the sake of those who storm our sea ramparts, is tragic indeed.

SOLUTION.

a) Incarcerate All crew and captains for 10 yrs
b) Spread the message far and wide.. even taking out TV ads in Indonesia.

The captains and crews..ARE "People Smugglers" they just don't happen to be the kingpins.

But how effective will kingpins be in their business if they have no on to do their dirty work?

Gee I think I've heard these arguments before. I wonder if Dr Austin has been posting on the forums under pseudonym. Maybe with a very Australian sounding name? Its just that this is a surprisingly uncaring piece from a doctor. Just a thought.

I don't want gate crashers at my party, or in my country. Any one without a visa should be sent back to whever they claim to come from, instantly.

Any one who can't prove their identity, or country of origin should never be let in, under any circumstances.

Except that its not "your" party sweetheart, its "our" party, and some of us who are the co-hosts at this little shindig are quite happy to let more people in regardless of whether they've come by boat.

But I'd be happy to kick Leigh and the good doctor out. We do have to maintain standards.
