‘morning Planter,

We are organizing a “Holiday on Manus Island” adventure, mostly inspired by Lonely Planet. I’ve put your name forward as a guide. We plan to do a brief three week trip into the Indian Ocean to inspect the sea conditions, observe the presence of the Sri Lankan and Australian Navy, listen in on satellite communications between people smugglers and the Australian refugee advocates, the Greens and the ALP.

We also plan to have a UN representative to address your issue of “Martial Law” and its relevance to the three legged marsupial, left leaning ignoramus.

This trip offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to those who never had one, a life that is.

Unfortunately this trip is not funded by Australian taxpayers however, you will be able to record your adventure for future replay to future generations as a display of unity with those who have already forgotten your contribution.

A legal representative from either Maurice Blackburn or Slater and Gordon will be available 24/7 to advise you your chances of avoiding incarceration on a no win- no fee basis.

As an added bonus we have arranged a two week visit to aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory, this will be prior to the main event in order that you may, and we emphasize “may”, gain an appreciation of the advantage that country shoppers from overseas have over our own indigenous communities.

We anticipate that those who sign up for this offer will have absolutely no concern for the 1,200 souls who lost their lives as participants in our last “Holiday on Manus island” special offer however, you will be able to tell your children and your grandchildren that you did not have any benefit from the Australian Tax Office and that it was entirely at your own expense.

You are the salt of the Er…? Earth… Er?. No, the planet?...Er, no that’s not right.

What is it I’m looking for? Ah, yes. You are the salt of the sewage farm. Always remember, “Turds of a feather flock together”.

Hi Kellie

I understand your concern for the rule of civilian law in Australia and heaven forbid, Human Rights. This concerns automatically brands you as a Leftist in small minds.

Vee of the National Socialist commenters faction of On Line Opinion offer free trips to the Fatherland while dispensing advice on Final Solutions for Human Rights.

Enjoy our Rightwing Commenter home movie http://youtu.be/WCUfkMkVbwo

However vee have Komrads among us, the ones not Mo-Rons, who humbly ask:

Is it not Right and justified that the intrinsically Humanitarian issue of Refugees be placed under Martial Law in Australia? That being Martial Law with all its attendant, manufactured, military secrecy.

Vot can be wrong with Martial Law. How bout we place those naughty Priests also in Kamps, but lets not stop there,

ICAC politicians secretly in Kamps.

Now vee are talking.

It would appear that the High Court of Australia shares concerns that the Abbott Government has no right to make an inherently human rights issue (Tamil refugees) a matter of martial law. The Australia Government is fortunate that the Indian Government has agreed that India's representatives in Australia will process the Tamils regarding any repatriation to India.

Many of the 157 Tamil refugees concerned fled from Sri Lanka to refugee camps in India before boarding a boat with the hope of coming to Australia. The High Court had ordered the Abbott Government to pull its head in and allow the Tamils to be processed on the Australian mainland.

"The case in the High Court really boils down to two simple propositions: one is that the Australian Government cannot, could not intercept this boat and return them to a place where they wouldn't be safe [Sri Lanka], and secondly that there needed to be a fair decision-making process around that," http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-07-26/lawyer-questions-legality-of-returning-asylum-seekers-to-india/5625866

The High Court is concerned about Australia's military forces holding Tamil refugees in international waters under quasi marrtial law, at gunpoint and in secrecy under so-called Operation Sovereign Borders.

The more formal conditions for martial law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_aid_to_the_civil_power#Australia are:

- Defence Assistance to the Civil Community (DACC) in matters of emergency, and

- Defence Force Aid to the Civil Power (DACP) usually to handle invasion and violence.

None of these conditions are present in Abbott's orchestrated refugee "crisis". Australia's refugee responsibilities are mild and routine by international standards.

Suck it up Morrison and Abbott. You can't hide behind khaki or naval uniforms in secrecy. You need to obey the precedent ruled by the High Court of processing on land not on a military run prison ship.
