How low can they go? : Comments

By Melissa Phillips, published 14/3/2013

Australia's politicians all seem intent on racing each other to the bottom on immigration issues.

Bindi Irwin as an authority. Gee, it must be true!

Migration does not add to the human population, it just rearranges it. And the number of asylum seekers is far too small to make a discernible difference to Australia’s environmental pressures.

Hello Marilyn, it’s been quite a while since we had a chat.

You and I have been over and over this subject on OLO over the last few years.

Obviously if we treat onshore asylum seekers just as you would want them to be treated, we’d be opening the proverbial floodgates... or at least promulgating a considerable rate of arrivals in an ongoing manner with no end in sight.

Do you deny this?

<< Life has never been easy for asylum seekers coming to Australia, but the current government hit a new low in the using the misery of indefinite mandatory detention in some godforsaken camp an active policy tool under the “no advantage” policy >>

Rhian, why should onshore asylum seekers have an advantage over offshore refugees that are chosen to be brought to Australia as part of our formal immigration program (or that don’t get chosen because their places get taken by onshore refugees)?

And why should our government not be implementing deterrence measures, such as offshore detention, to try and cut down if not halt the arrival of asylum seekers?

Rhian,
Why did you leave this sentence short ? Why not finish it properly by continuing with"and also
deranges the human population to levels which only have one outcome, disarray in every which way".

Rhian,

Bindi Urwin as a young female, should have her views addressed, rather than your scorn , which does you discredit .

The point you missed , was that population growth must be stopped globally and Australia is part of the Globe.

Australia is losing it's habitat and species diversity.

Labor's original sin in it's founding was overt Racism, reaching a pinnacle with their White Australia Policy, confirmed by Whitlams hate of Vietnamese and just reprised by Julia's 457 bile.

The are only one set of scum sucking, bottom feeders, the "whatever it takes Party".
