Jennifer.

Cows do not have a choice.
The parents of the children do.
Should we be responsible for the terrible behaviour of the parents and the people smugglers.
I think not.

Boo hoo I'm over it! While we have inadequate services for our own vulnerable citizens including homeless children - who would vastly outnumber any illegal 'minors' (some whom claim to be underage are anything but) I don't give a fig where they send these young people. Back to the idiotic and manipulative parents who are trying to play the system would be a good start.

I have not yet heard of an underage FEMALE - they are all male as far as my info goes (and I have 2 contacts currently working in this 'industry') The only legitimate exception in my book would be orphans aged under 16.

The more we do to discourage and make life difficult for these 'desperate' queue jumpers who pay criminals considerable money to bring them to this 'land of easy pickings' the better. As for the smugglers - don't arrest them when intercepted. Remove the passengers then blow up vessel and crew. Couple of times would be enough to put most other operators and wannabees off their game.

Problem solved.

Inhumane treatment of humans and animals to produce a humane result.

Yeah, that'll work.

Jeez! I just watched Briars link. I think 20 of the best is a tad extreme but 5 - 10 would be just the thing for some of our homegrown vandals, petty thieves, 'gangstas', repeat drink drivers/hoons, drug peddlers and other miscreants. I'd bet any money it would slow down recidivism to a mere trickle, keep prison populations in check and put the fear of the law back into many wannabee crims.

Yes - and deliver the punishment in front of the little sods coming through the juvenile system with the warning of "Next time you are caught, this is your fate". Anyone over the age of 12 - 3 strikes and you get stripes!

Maybe we should be taking on some of the 'oppressive and cruel' methods of our asian neighbours. It seems they enjoy a far lower crime rate than ours. Here it's criminals treated with kid gloves and victims hardly rate. WRONG!

Ooops pressed post button prematurely.

;)

Meant to point out that if Australians are seen to be treating their own most vulnerable; homeless, mentally ill, drug addicted, abused in a humane fashion, that will only encourage MORE people to want to come here.

Do your bit for stopping the boats - kick a child on to the streets today.

:P
