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.

Having looked for and failed to find an 'alert' button such as can be found on other online discussion pages, how do I ask the moderators to consider taking down Hasbeen's post advocating murder on the open ocean?
Since when are the people on these leaky boats armed? And he wants to sink their boats and watch them drown? Talk about gutless...

I was rather attracted to the UKIP policy: immigrants/refugees can't get access to welfare of any sort (house, dole etc) until they've paid 5 yrs taxes ie been productively employed for 5 yrs. Add to that a provision that the asylum would be withdrawn the moment the refugee felt comfortable enough to visit their homeland (many asylum seekers visit their homeland after receiving residence) and it'd all stop.

mhaze, I know this might come as a shock to you but we are not allowed to punish refugees or asylum seekers.

“As for Hasbeen, such a happy chap gleefully discussing murder on the high seas, his thought process is alarming………..and rats will leave a sinking ship…… and you might want to think about leaving jobs for yourselves and none of this bleeding hearts syndrome. Hasbeen, you are a work of art:)

It might come as a shock to you Marilyn but a lot of these boat people aren't refugees.

Dear Halduell,

If you want to recommend a post for deletion -
all you have to do is go back to that post,
scroll down to the bottom and under the author's
name there's a bunch of characters. Click onto the
"X." It's a "Deletion Request Form," which will go
straight to the Moderator.

Dear Cohenite,

Asylum seeker and refugee status has to be assessed
and determined.
Marilyn is right. According to Australian and
International laws Australia is not allowed to punish
people claiming to be asylum seekers or refugees.
