The agenda is profit.
Fester,
For some boat owners yeah but I was thinking of the agenda of those who send the poor bastards via Indonesia to Australia.

How extraordinary. Nowhere in this article or in any of the comments is there any mention of the appalling decision that led to this horrible onshore asylum seeking debacle or the person who did that despicable deed – one Kevin bloody Rudd!

This man has surely got to bear the lion’s share of the blame….. and he is still in our faces!!

How DARE he be! He should have been BANISHED from Australia’s political landscape for that, if not charged with a criminal offence.

His watering down of Howard’s border protection policy, thus opening up this whole huge can of worms is one of the very worst political stuff-ups of all time. It was surely bleedingly obvious what would happen if he gave people-smugglers and asylum seekers an opening.

I can’t see why he shouldn’t be charged with criminal negligence leading to death, or something along those lines.

Ludwig,
That would require a legal system based on integrity.

What hasn't this government stuffed up.

Here we have two key independents, or at least that is what they say they are, sitting there over each and every stuff up, offering their continued support simply because they dislike Tony Abbott. Or a least that's the only logic I can find.

True ind should be monitoring the governments performance and, if they become unstable, or incaable of governing for the betterment of society, they should withdraw their support.

They, along with the greens are as much to blame as the current labor government and Krudd.

I say again, and again, and again, when is enough, enough!

'''This disgraceful state of affairs is the result of both political parties being unable to come to a bipartisan agreement...,'' he told The Age newspaper.;

''If our leaders had an ounce of decency - both of them - they would get together and formulate a serious policy ...''

These two lies are spread by labor propagandists and their equally culapable compliant media.

When Gillard seduced Slipper it gave Labor the numbers in Parliament to pass it's Malaysian solution.

They won't present it because their partners in Government, the Greens in the Senate, won't pass their legtislation.

The Liberals are doing what oppositions since Federation have done... opposed bad legislation and held the government of the day to account.

It used to be that our media would also hold the government to account.
But no longer! They have simply fallen in behind the Labor government's desire to avoid their legislative responsibilities and to blame others for their utter incompetence.

Here's an example of more of the stupid propaganda

'In Australia Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott have spent the past year squabbling over solutions to the problem,...'

Gillard should have legislated, which she didn't, and Abbott opposed ...which he did. The medis should have reported this as a Government shortcoming, which it is, and not as squabbling, which it isn't. It's policy difference... and a legislative void.

'Canberra tried to do a deal with Kuala Lumpur ...' Why not Gillard instead of the legitimacy of the title 'Canberra' .

'The Liberal opposition wants a return to processing on the Micronesian island of Nauru. This was the so called Pacific Solution used when John Howard was PM, but scrapped when Labor took office in 2007.'

Which if the author and others in our regimented media were honest would admit worked and when scrapped led to the current deaths

'Australian politicians have blood on their hands.'

Wrong. Australian Labor and Greens Politicians have blood on their hands... as do those in the media who perpertrate the labor lies.

The Liberals had and still have a consistant humane solution.
