How to stop the boats : Comments

By David Leyonhjelm, published 6/5/2013

The Government cannot stop the boats and the Opposition's plan won't do it either. But charging a fee will.

Philip S,

It look me all of 30 seconds to get each link.

I hate to disappoint you, but I've actually had quite a busy day so I really haven't had time to obsess too much about your recalcitrant attitude to being informed that using all caps repeatedly for whole sentences is shouting.

I'll see if I can rustle up a little obsessiveness about the issue before I turn in for the night.

You feel free to "emphasise" by using all caps excessively in the future - and I'll feel free to remind you to 'stop shouting'.

Poirot - Your frustration aside, you really must have a boring life when you can take the time to devote around 6 or more comments to something as petty.

As stated before get a life.

So why do they make the arduous decision
to leave their homes and family to come here,
Lexi,
For a reason you simply refuse to comprehend/accept. They do what they are told to do.

cohenite, I fail to see how posting;

"There is much unwarranted hysteria towards these people, mostly of a racial nature, which has no place in Australian society. Hysteria propagated by white supremacists and other racially driven people."

How can this be interpreted as support for Islam, To make it clear and unequivocal I do not support any religion, I do not hold any belief in a supernatural being.
Not all white supremacists or racist people are to be found ranting and raving in the streets, they are the small vocal minority, most are reserved and unassuming, not members of the KKK or some such radical organisation. The little old lady who believes Asia for the Asians, and Australia for the White people, will not see herself as "racists" she will most likely justify and rationalise her racism with some sort of nonsense like "its God's will, that the races be kept apart etc etc."
As for immigration, although I am not pro religion, I do not believe it should be a detaining factor as to who's in, or who's out. In fact I think it should carry no weight at all.
It is fair to say 100% of asylum seeker are Asian, no Americans, no Europeans, no British. Although the aforementioned groups make up many of the 'visa over stayers' they never get an airing by the usual suspects, naturally that has nothing to do with race, or does it.

Good to know. What do you make of this:

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/violent-muslim-rioter-mahmoud-eid-behind-bars/story-e6freuy9-1226638580412

I repeat, my concern is that the boat-people are queue-jumpers who have considerable doubt about their refugee status; they are also conspiring with criminal gangs who are undermining Australia's border security, something everyone should be greatly concerned with given the details in the link I provide.

Meanwhile, as I say, genuine refugees are rotting.

With islam, please note in the link that the convicted muslim would not stand when the Magistrate entered the court on the basis of his religious beliefs. In microcosm this is what islam represents for our Western system. And it is this which exasperates me and any reasonable person when the hand-wringers come out and support the islamists.

Yes! Cohenite it worries me too, "Fernwood" a ladies only gym where Muslim ladies attend have to be told a male repair person will be on the premises, this almost causes hysteria amongst them, they also have a prayer room for their convenience, why are we catering for the whims of one religious group of people, the more Muslim people who enter the country illegally, the more we will be taken over by their laws of the land they have just left, please if you like these laws, stay at home and don' t come here.
