What does it say about us?

It says we are a bunch of weak kneed fool, who have allowed ourselves to be imposed upon & abused by some of the most disgusting people on earth.

It shows that too many people in Oz, particularly the bureaucrats & education elites have too little to do to earn their daily bread, & too much time to feel sorry for & be deceived by a sob story by these disgusting users.

Really is time for the silent majority to start shouting & get these bleeding hearts back in the box they crawled out of, before they do us even more harm.

Bjelly is correct in suggesting that if the Australian people weren't kept in the dark by this government re any asylum seeker matters, far more of them would be as alarmed as the rest of the World is with us.

This Government, and the Howard Government before them, have done a good job on spreading lies and promoting paranoia amongst gullible people in Australia re asylum seekers.
Have any of the asylum seekers committed acts of terrorism in Australia?
Have there been any acts of terrorism here since 9/11?

Blind Freddie should be able to see that Abbott uses terrorism as a tool to frighten Australia into thinking they need his big brave government to be in power to keep these nasty, sinful non-Christians from 'invading' our very shores.

Yet, if there is ever a 'terrorist attack' on our soil, Abbott would say "See, I told you so!", and all the gullible people will forget that he ever said he would keep them safe!

Suseonline,

As recently as mid-2014 Labor's Bob Carr, Foreign Minister of the Rudd government, was saying that allegations concerning 'asylum seekers' were 'urban mythology' ie lies, specifically the ill-treatment that is often the cow dung spread by the 'Watermelon' Greens and apologists for the people smuggling activities of the international gangs involved in people smuggling (along with their other nefarious pursuits. He was referring specifically to Sri Lankin economic migrants at the time. [The Guardian 9July2014]

When he was PM, Kevin Rudd, his Foreign Minister Bob Carr and other senior Labor figures agreed that the boat arrivals courtesy of the criminal travel agents were economic migrants who abused Australia's generosity and displaced real refugees.

So both sides of government disagree with you. -Even more so now as far as Labor is concerned.

What does Justin Toh's contempt for Australians say about his personnel character?

Justin seems to be another moral puritan with a compulsive psychological condition to think that he is better than the rest of the population. He needs to feel superior and let the rest of us know how disgusting we are. He lives in an academic world where the idea of social, moral, and intellectual superiority of the inhabitants is a common perception, and the need to express how wonderful and superior they are is endemic.

To do this, certain "causes" need to be selected as a defining characteristic for membership of this "superior" caste. Usually, this involves simply being "against" everything that everybody else is favour of. This clearly display's their difference from the herd. The trick is to take a worthy cause like refugees, and completely misrepresent the facts to make it look like most of the population is disgusting, while you and your friends (of course) come across as the guardians of everything that is good and holy.

Justin is a Christian, and he should have been a priest. But with churches increasingly empty, the moral puritans who once ruled the roosts on the church pulpits now use the media to tell the uninterested sinners how awful they are. Just read Justin's little speech again, you can almost hear the choir of heavenly angels singing behind him as he rails against the people who are just not interested in his stupid religion.

Reality check to Justin. Most Australians do not consider cashed up, country shopping boat people to be genuine refugees. Australians know that we have a refugee program in existence which is already generous and which has imported people into this country, too many of whom are hostile to the people that have given them succour. They know that we have a welfare system which will collapse if we simply allow millions of poor people from dysfunctional societies with dysfunctional cultures to self select into Australia. And we just get pissed off with people like yourself who just want to strut and preen.

I See Malcolm Turnbull is now saying we shouldn't overstate the threat of IS to Australia.
I have always said he should be the Liberal Leader. He is the only bright one amongst them.

Suse, this issue didn't just arise and has nothing to do with the Government's operational secrecy. Most Australians have been against allowing boat people to come to Australia ever since your buddy Rudd effectively open the door. And contrary to your claim the rest of the world is alarmed with Australia's policy, the countries who face the same problem are starting to use similar methods.

Was Monis originally an asylum seeker? Oh, I just remembered you didn't agree that Monis committed an act of terrorism.

Have there been acts of terrorism here since 9/11? Thankfully do to the diligence of our security several incidents have been prevented. Or perhaps you think all that has been fabricated also.
