Just watching Q&A about Asylum seekers. I couldn'd believe my eyes & ears at the ignorance of supposedly highly educated people like Felicity Hampel, Lenore Taylor & Scott Ludlam. Cristpher Pyne was rambling about Labor & Chris Evans was lost for words. If such are the people which are in charge of our lives then we might as well be better off being outbred by the illegal newcomers who are so obviously so much more resourceful than our ignorant academic bureaucrats.

I’ve never really concurred with Christopher Pyne much before, but I think he was pretty much on the mark on Q&A tonight.

See the program here if you missed it –

CJ, what are these things supposed to mean that you put at the end of your posts - :P and :S ??

Refugees should not be an election issue.
The issue of refugees, along with other issues that matter, should be the subject of a referendum, which might as well coincide with the coming elections.

It is time that Australians get to vote on the things that really affect their lives, rather than just between two silly political parties that resemble each other anyway.

It means he has temporarily mislaid his Readers Digest - the Word Power section to be exact.
