Shame Australia, shame : Comments

By Duncan Graham, published 11/7/2012

Australians are set to 'teach' Indonesians about ethics, but our approach to asylum seekers suggests we have more to learn ourselves.

Well said CHERFUL

And WOW what a place to run to,,,, what a bunch of suckers we all are.
The accommodation in the detention centres that we place these people in would be considered 5star compared to where a lot of them have been living in their own countries, the do gooders out there in our society have got to stop this bleeding heart BS and accusations of Australia being racist, what a load of rot. I would like to get housing, food, money, clothing and medical treatment for free, who wouldnt,, So what a great place to run to.
What about Indonesia, a boat in distress a few kilometres of their coast and they dont go to assist,, nooooo good old Australia does all the dirty work,, what I want to know is, what does Indonesia have over Australia, why is our government so scared of upsetting Indonesia for gods sake, we have become a joke,,,,, IF YOU DONT GO ABOUT GETTING INTO THIS COUNTRY THE RIGHT WAY YOU GO BACK TO YOUR OWN OR FROM WHERE YOU ORIGINATED FROM AND DO IT THE RIGHT WAY,,, NO IF'S OR BUT'S.
WHAT are we trying to prove to the rest of the world, that we are a bunch of martres, the image we are portrayin at the moment is that we are a soft touch and bit soft in the head.

I have been saying for sometime that the Indonesians cannot refuse
entry of turned around boats or people rescued at sea in the Indonesian
Rescue area. Others say the the Indonesians will refuse them re-entry.
Well it seems the opposition has finally woken up and read the SOLAS
legislation and have discovered that it really is as I say.

The SOLAS legislation says that people rescued must be taken to the
nearest convenient port.
It is about time the government obeyed the law and returned the boat
people to Indonesia. Any other action is illegal.
