Not in my name Mr Morrison: compassion and public policy, a case study of Australia and asylum seekers : Comments

By Noel Preston, published 21/7/2014

The claim that one compassionate good is achieved (stopping drownings) should not come at the cost other unjustified practices.

The elected government of Australia is (for once!) implementing the policies endorsed by the majority of the electorate.

The more that people like yourself claim to be morally superior to the majority, the more the majority are inclined to give you, and people who think like you, two fingers full of righteous indignation.

Australia for the Australians. Prosperity is not a natural law of nature. We should not bring people into this country who can not contribute to the Commonwealth. The importation of certain "refugee" ethnicities that have no cultural affinity to our own has been a social and economic disaster for this country. All it has done is to fill our jails and our dole queues while causing our governments to implement laws contrary to our western ideals of free speech, freedom of association, habeas corpus, having our cars, homes and person's searched without a warrant, electronic surveillance of citizens by government, and other serious reductions in our civil liberties.

Dear LEGO,

<<We should not bring people into this country who can not contribute to the Commonwealth.>>

I agree. But neither should people be forcibly removed if they arrive uninvited. Let those who come come and let those who drown drown. Treat them at least as well as animals - do not disadvantage them because they happen to be homo-sapiens: let those who threaten the peace be shot rather than jailed, but let those who do not threaten the peace live on this continent of Australia, free as any other wildlife, which also receive no social benefits.
