Lexi it is obvious the bloke is a better liar. He managed to hold the fiction that he was in danger. As if we don't have enough con men already, without getting thousands more by boat.

Lexi one of my grand fathers, my father, & I have all fought for this country, & my son is in the defence force, ready to do so.

Having fought for our birthright we are not prepared to let any one give it away to any yobbo who drifts in, by boat or any other way.

Those who want top give it away are likely to find increasing problems with us. We have been a bit too easy going to date, but that is most likely to change.

When we perceived the people wanting to come here were good people they were welcomed. Now we see far too many of those coming are not good people.

It is time for those who want to impose their personal benevolence upon us to pull their collective heads in, before they find it being done for them by a very irate population. I reserve the right to bestow my own benevolence upon those of my own choosing. I have not granted that right to any bleeding heart or academic.

Dear Hasbeen,

I hear you and understand how you feel. Members of my family feel the same way as yourself. My family paid their dues to this country. They worked ver hard for everything they've got. They contributed in blood, sweat, and tears. However, I personally feel uneasy regarding the question of refugees simply because my family members were refugees so how can I now deny the same opportunities to others that my family was given? And how can we tell the difference between what's real and what's a con. Where and how do we draw the line?
