There are many illegal immigrants to Australia; of those on boats, most of them. They are not refugees but economic which would not be too bad if they were Vietnamese who came here intending to work but instead have the intent to collect the dole, many other handouts and despise our institutions. I guess that is why Shepard is so much in support. The Big Lie has failed, there ARE many illegals coming in.

Good afternoon to you MARILYN SHEPHERD...

Firstly, might I ask, who is Andrew Bolt, from who's column I've allegedly escaped ?

And I humbly take on board your admonishment of my erroneous and imprecise use of an appellation, that's clearly earned me your ire !

Accordingly, I shall endevour to exercise much more discretion and judiciousness. Should ever I have a need to describe these folk who come here without first establishing their bona fides to do so. In order to seek significant financial succour and other notable material benefits from us, the tax-payers of Australia !

I sincerely hope MARILYN SHEPHERD, I've now managed (on this occasion at least) to employ language of a kind that will not cause any hurt ?
Or have I again unwittingly strayed beyond those invisable bounds of unerring suspicion and cynicism ?

There's an old saying amongst detectives '...first, follow the money...' !

Cheers...Sung Wu

Marilyn Shepherd - I have only one question to ask you.

Can you explain why the so called refugees we get are 95% men on most boats from Afghanistan, Iran, Sri Lanka and Pakistan BUT in all other parts of the world the refugees are manly women and children or whole families?

I await your reply.

"The SALVo's are taking dirty money to commit crimes against humanity by a racist coward government".
Yes, Marilyn, but let's not forget that the government is representative, as is the opposition. It's the electorate, by and large, that's despicable; their politicians are just their scapegoats.
Australia is a great place to land, not because it's a great place per se, but because the gods have favoured it, not by merit, but sheer caprice.
Modern Australians are utterly undeserving, but no less jealous for all that.
