"The next two episodes cannot be missed"

Of course they can, and will be by the vast majority of Australians, including myself. Far, far more interesting and important things to do.

Best to remain in blissful ignorance, eh?

The best and most factual summation I have read. Bookmark as an FAQ.

Jo the UN in all it's guises is even more removed from the ideals, & aims of the Australian people than is academia in general, & lecturers in particular.

On boat people, & carbon [dioxide] tax we have over 80% of the population voicing their disapproval, & 90% of academia preaching how wrong we all are.

When you are marching down the road, & you find 80% are out of step with you, it's time to re asses yourself. You just may find it's you out of step.

Perhaps it's time for our so called elites to start listening to those who pay their wages.

I don't give a damn what some academic in Timbuktu thinks of Oz, & neither should you.

Yes I saw the first programme and the producers will clearly achieve
their objective of pushing peoples emotional buttons. Life in
the third world in many places is indeed very tough, as those of
us who have travelled, already know, but many Australians do not.

That does not change the reality that Australia cannot save the
world and all its refugees. All we can do is accept some and try
and make sure that they are most deserving, often stuck in those
camps without a razoo, unable to pay their way to the front of
the line.

The resources which we have to spend on the issue are limited and
should be spent as wisely as possible. That is presently not the
case, for the UN Convention is clearly out of date and needs updating.

Dear Jo,

Bless you, we do understand, we do feel, we do empathize and it is all very distressing.

What many of us who have a much better grasp on reality really want, is to put a stop to more advocacy documentaries, dressed up as reality TV, from advocacy public media and commented upon by even more advocates from academia, who offensively think they own the franchise on refugee tragedies, and who pontificate over the high moral ramparts to point the finger at any Australian that fails to measure up to your irrational emotive overload.

If you really feel that SBS should be remotely associated with such blatant and partisan political propaganda and “social experiments” then it really is time to close them down.
