Yoohoo speegster,

Before you go [back to (mis)using your company's resources to further your own ends] would you like to address this:

<<SPQR your "typical timeline" is pure redneck fantasy... you're spouting unadulterated nonsense.>>

So if my version is inaccurate, how about you tell us - your version - of how thousands of Iranians just happened to find themselves in a position in Indonesia where they had to boat to Oz.

*BE SPECIFIC DONT WAFFLE ON ABOUT THE STATE OF THE WORLD*
Tell us exactly how *the Iranians* got there--and don't to forgot to tell us how they all come loose their IDs but keep their mobile phones

It is now a nowhere argument.

The boats have stopped.

Actually "Nutter" they haven't stopped. The boats have been intercepted and turned back, which is quite a different proposition, not to mention in breach of our international obligations. They can't resist lying even about that, pretending that our navy doesn't know where it is at any given moment on the high seas. If that were true it would be a real cause for worry.

As the SMH pointed out last weekend, the government's denial of information has reached even more absurd levels. Unfortunately for them even Peter O'Neill blurted out some unfortunate truths, which led to some hasty improvisation from Abbott, Morrison and Bishop. None of which bears more than a passing acquaintanceship with the truth.

While you and your ilk have been frothing at the mouth with typical fact free opinions and a profound ignorance of international law, the number of persons admitted to Australia as "migrants" has increased dramatically. The so-called "boat people" are a very small number by comparison. Amazing really how you and your ilk are suckered by the dog whistle politics of Morrison and his anti-democratic crew and ignore the bigger picture.

Dear Imajulianutter,

<<The boats have stopped.>>

Or perhaps they just got smarter and manage to arrive without being detected - you better look under your bed, for if they haven't got smarter yet, they certainly will!

Never mind, it's good that they've stopped for now because Abbott is a man of honour who indeed kept his election promise. Note however that he didn't say "We'll stop the submarines", "We'll stop the gliders", "We'll stop refugees hiding on ships" or even "We'll stop the boats forever". Promise made - promise done, now elections have been won and Abbott is free again to exercise his brain and his heart.

My remaining concern is just, when will they stop taking my money and borrowing even more money which eventually I'll have to return, then handing it to detention-centre guards. Had Labor been in power, the answer would be: "aren't you ashamed to destroy this whole detention industry? Don't the guards, like everyone else, deserve to keep their jobs?".

Get a load of this from James O'Neill:

<<you and your ilk have been frothing at the mouth...>>

<<you and your ilk are suckered by the dog whistle politics of Morrison...>>

Don't you just sense that James is overflowing with compassion and loving-kindness.

Speegster was going on about clones.The best example of clones on this thread have been speegsdter, Ponder and James.They are dead ringers right down to insults they throw at anyone who disagrees with them.

But I love this bit especially <<Morrison and his anti-democratic crew>>. Forget the last election result--it ain't democratic unless it agrees with what James wants!

You are vilifying me and I'm offended by being lumped in as an 'ilk'.

Shall I sue you under section 18c James?

James give me proof of your claims. Are the centres on Nauru or Manis Island expanding?

James you are a hard hearted codswalloper who supports drowning men women and children at sea.
