Labor's tide in and out on boats : Comments

By Ben-Peter Terpstra, published 12/7/2013

Once upon a time, but not so long ago, turning around boats was Labor's policy; a policy Laborites were happy to talk to Australian voters about in 2007.

individual "How do other countries deter asylum seekers ?"

By telling them they are not wanted like New Zealand did and Israel + Israel built a dirty big long fence to keep them out.

By not giving them what they want ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE like Germany and few EU countries do they get like 32 pounds (very low figure) and food stamps.

Indonesia and Malaysia don't need to deter them but they give them NOT ONE CENT so it does not matter plus the businesses get VERY cheap labor because they are not supposed to be working. Although in Indonesia some of the are starting to be not happy with them.

Take away the golden hand on arrival make them work for the money etc they get and most important GET RID OF ALL THE APPEAL processes.

Temporary Protection Visa ONLY

That will stop LOTS but not all

Would you guys be ok with 'genuine' refugees then?

If the Government said no to all boat people becoming Australian Citizens, in order to prevent them making more suicidal journeys here by sea, but instead agreed to take 10,000 Muslim refugees from camps overseas, would you be happy with that?

I think this may stop the boats from coming, and the drownings like the poor baby on the boat that sank today near Christmas Island.
If Australia was to take on similar, but 'genuine' sorts of refugees instead, then we wouldn't be thought of as racist by other countries....

I see yet another 9 boat people died at the hands of Labor's border protection collapse.

Suseonline,
I don't think for one moment that anyone would reject a genuine refugee. As for your play at Muslim refugee I say of course we should let a genuine refugee in Muslim or not. The issue we have is that those refugees from Muslim countries are not running away from Muslim ideology but from the economic effects of the mayhem that is brought on by this ideology yet they refuse to reject or denounce it. If they did no-one, not even the economic refugees would be unwelcome. What is unwelcome is the backward ideology they are enforcing on everyone to achieve world domination.

Well their ideology doesn't seem to be 'dominant' in any countries outside their own, Individual, so they aren't really doing very well so far are they?

England, on the other hand, has managed to spread their 'ideology' to many countries in the world over the past few centuries haven't they?
