Why don't we just abandon any sort of immigration policy and only process refugees who arrive here by boat? Then everybody's happy!

The Rudd Labor Government was a bad Government. The Gillard/Brown Labor/Greens Federal Government is just totally inept and incompetent and borders on dysfunctional.

ASSYLUM SEEKERS AND CRIMINALITY.....DISQUALIFICATION from ELIDGABILITY.

We had a riot between around 30 Afghan youths and other youths at the Broadmeadows detention centre this week...over 'COMPUTER ACCESS'.

The law is very clear about 'violent public behavior'.

NSW has the specific law 'AFFRAY' which this riot certainly was, but VIC has case law, not a specific offense. Nevertheless such behavior is covered in criminal case law.

Violent Riot is CRIMINAL behavior.

Such behavior DISQUALIFIES any would be refugee from any elidgability as a 'refugee' according to the UN convention.

The Broadmeadows police have now been reminded of our LAW and have been encouraged to take appropriate action.

DIMIA will also be notified today.

Awwwwww those POOR 300 Hazara men :(

Ffred... for goodness sake READ some history:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazara_people#Emergence_of_the_Hazara

They have had or been trouble ever since their first mention in the history of Afghanistan...

1/ They are PERSIAN speakers
2/ They are SHIA muslims.

conclusion. They must have come FROM Iran/Persia.

Now..they can GO BACK to Iran/Persia...where they will find both linguistic and religious compatibility.

The Pashtuns hunted them from areas where Hazara's had encroached, and for obvious (too all but lamentably ignorant PC Aussies) reasons.

In a tribal "Multicultural" setting.. the stronger a tribe becomes, the more it will ASSERT "its" authority (percieved or real) on non them.

I'm afraid there is ZERO "Moral Leadership" from the churches who support them 'encroaching' on Australian turf.. it is utter stupidity, unfathomable ignorance, incredulous naivity and historical blindness!

WAKE UP and smell the history!

BRIAR SAYS:

//Ludwig, how would you suggest the Australian government prevent some groups being slaughtered by other hostile groups, in their homelands?//

Ummmm...perhaps because they have always been 'slaughtered' (or at least punished) by non Hazara's when they BUCK the system, assert indepenance on other peoples soil and revolt against authority.

Maybe ?

and now you want to bring this mentality HERE ? aghast!

The Catholic lobby is a strange thing- it viciously works to undermine Australians' rights to contraception, abortion and euthanasia, and of course our normal civil rights whenever their beloved Vatican celebrity wants another private function away from his office- the only people's whose rights they endorse are asylum seekers.

I think the real answer is the Church only believes in whatever rights a religious fanatic would want (perhaps they feel they can make some new friends with some of the wahabis).
I imagine I can't be alone in thinking this church is among the biggest detriments upon the lives of Australians.

Oh and Sarnian, Please explain;
"the handful of boat people as a threat to Australia when the real threat is the enormous number of so called “legal” migrants."
What is this supposed to mean? Why are THEY a threat?

The real threat from them is that there are too many of them.
The population went up by 600.000 in 2008 and half of them were Migrants.
I am afraid that I am on the side of Dick Smith, when it comes to our population building up to the projected 35 to 50 million. I do not see how Australia can provide the total wherewithal to supply this many unless it is at a drastically reduced standard of living.
I agree that out standard of living, the highest in the world is far too high but I would not want it reduced to bare survival.

The main reason for this high intake?
Big business wants an oversupply of labour, so that wages can be forced down and the other reason is more people = more voters +more consumers.
