My dear prime minister : Comments

By James Arvanitakis, published 22/11/2013

I wanted to write to you a list of the concerns that much of the population share that I believe cross the political divide. These issues are beyond 'left and right'.

“the vast majority are confirmed as genuine refugees.”

No they are not. There are 3 stories used by illegal arrivals, all carefully scripted by supporters of illegals and people smugglers. And, our inept immigration officials are instructed to give the green light to lying, cheating queue-jumpers with money to dodge the UN process.

The ’10 myths’ article this author relies on is a myth in itself.

Of “both major parties”, one – the Labor party – actually encouraged illegals and people smugglers; that party in government certainly did not feel “the need to repel 'boats' at all costs” until the very end of its incompetent and ‘open borders’ regime.

“Push factors” is a phrase this self-admitted ‘progressive’ has copied from open-borders Labor politicians.

His “second issue” has been thoroughly disproved by the climate itself, and real scientists – whose views have been censored by the so-called progressive – have shown that ripping money of tax payers will make no difference to climate change on the occasions change does occur naturally.

WITH “a price on carbon or an industry policy, we will eventually flounder and be left behind”; yes, economically and growth-wise by countries who don’t bother with the mythical nonsense that higher prices for everything will have affect climate change.

Keeping the tax on carbon dioxide will be no solution to anything; it will merely continue the impoverishment of consumers and, eventually, the country.

Professor James Arvanitakis must have written this same open letter to the Rudd/Gillard governments, because they certainly used many of the pleas contained within it wreck Australia during their tenure.

No wonder we are filling the bureaucracy with increasing numbers of totally useless graduates, when this is the kind of thinking inside our ivory towers. Why is it that these academics are so incapable of seeing where all their ideas would lead.

However even more worrying is the prospect of any return to a labor government. That they will draw their "policy advisors" from people like this bloke, with his rose coloured dreaming is dangerous. It is going to be hard enough to resurrect Oz after the last 2 disasters, a term or two of government guided by this sort of thinking, & our Oz will be well on it's way to becoming the Greece, [or the Lebanon] of the South Pacific.

Good god I for one would love to have seen the begging letters this bloke wrote to Rudd Gillard and Rudd again.
Oh he did not write them. Oh for heavens sakes they weren't progressives either.

Just another blinkered leftie ranting on about how unjust people are when they are not as hypocritical as he is.

James Arvanitakis "For various reasons, the last few years have been extremely divisive within our community. The issues that divide us should be secondary to those that bring us together."

Then proceeds to list the most divisive issues of all.

"These issues are beyond 'left and right'"

Then insists the "progressive" view is the one to act upon.

There may be millions of gays in Australia, but do they *all* want to marry?
There may be a few thousand who do, not "millions".
