J Bowyer, no refugees scuttled any boat, the girl from the navy who was on the vessel said the man was asking for mercy by showing the navy were shooting at a boat with children on board.

AS the refugees concerned are now
Australian citizens perhaps you should be silent.

@ Marilyn

WHY DO YOU FIND IT NECESSARY TO LIE?

one of the surprising and disappointing things about refugee advocates --who are want to talk about morality & doing the right thing -- is their own lack of scruples.

Here is Marilyn at it: <<We do not help any refugees in camps, so with the refugees in camps mob just leave it alone>>

A TOTAL --AND-- UTTER LIE!

And here is the proof:

--"The Australian Government has announced that they will be contributing an additional $21.5 million in humanitarian assistance for people affected by the conflict in Syria."
https://www.oxfam.org.au/2013/07/australian-government-increases-aid-for-syrian-crisis/

--"Australia has committed $5 million to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) to provide food, medical assistance, water, shelter and protection for up to 245,000 refugees fleeing Sudan due to ongoing violence"
--"Australia has provided more than $198 million in humanitarian and development assistance in Sudan and South Sudan since 2004."

"The purpose of the evaluation was to assess Australia’s assistance to refugees on the Thai-Myanmar border from 2010 to 2012. The report examines the appropriateness of the programs given Australia’s aid to Myanmar"

On this forum and others, "refugee" advocates & their allies have demonstrated a willingness --perhaps a need--to make things up as they go.And it not just Marilyn, it's practically every one of them from A to Z.

Quite amazing really!

Marylin Shepherd that is a disgusting lie! The Australian Navy has never fired on any refugee boat. You are quite disgusting! If you hate Australia and your fellow Australians so much, go and live somewhere else. As for silence, I think you have said more than enough and I will report you for this hateful lie!

Marilyn Shepherd - like usual you fail to answer questions and comments that do not conform to your biased viewpoint.

Here it is again.

Australian taxpayers do financially support some refugees in Indonesia that have been found to be genuine but are waiting there turn, which incidentally gets longer with the arrival of the Economic Invaders also coming from Indonesia.

A Quote from your link "While this would be more expensive, the notion that Australia is just too poor to contemplate such a system is simply ludicrous, especially when one looks at far poorer countries that accept vastly more refugees than Australia does.

An absolutely deceptive statement because those other poorer countries GIVE THEM NOTHING NOT 1 CENT, the refugees in the poor countries are supported by us and other countries.

Just how many Economic Invaders disguised as refugees do you think we should accept?

Don't forget on this part of the forum you only have 4 replies per 24 hours.

I would like to state categorically as someone who has been on the 'front line' of these so-called refugee issues, and as a former serving member of the RAN that I have, with my own eyes seen these people go about sinking their own boats as soon as the Navy arrives.

Marilyn you should be ashamed of your blinkered view of the truth.

These people care not for those putting their lives and others 'on the line' just to gain a grasp of sympathy from idiots and misinformed people like you.

Get a grip and talk to the people on the front-line, they may have an ability to give you a sense of what is really going on, then again, given censorship, I doubt it!

The navy fired on the boat, it was the HNAS Adelaide in October 2001 and they did it dozens of time with 56 mm cannons in the middle of the sea in the middle of the night.

ARe you people 3 years old?
