By Kerry Murphy, published 16/5/2012

There have been some improvements in refugee rights under Labor since 2007, but limited by opposition pressure.

No Mackie, because to be forcibly sent to anywhere but here is illegal and they have to get here before they can be forcibly sent somewhere else.

Are the people here really cretins or just don't think?

In 2007, when Rudd took over the helm, there were only 4 boat people in detention. What we have now is a complete collapse of border control since the pacific solution was removed. We have had more suicides in detention since 2008 than we had boat people drowning from 2002 to 2007.

Labor has blood on its hands.

Certainly there are fools here Marilyn, they are those who cannot understand consequences. Encourage leaky boats > people drown (complex?); prevent orderly movement from camps, reduce acceptability of increased true refugee arrivals. Remember feeling good is not doing good.
