Kellie, pay no attention to the knockers. They have no ability to join the dots or add 2 to 2 and get four.

They believe anything that floats out of the cesspool that is the U.S....floats is incorrect! It is pumped over here in huge quantities and it is lapped up by most Australians.

Are Australians the most gullible people on Earth?

Next to Americans, probably!

Yes it will take nothing short of a royal commission to sort Morrison and Abbott out. If no impartial judge can be found we could always get Bob Hawk to fill the space.

This regime is rotten to the core, and soon to find out the Gov; generals impartiality also.

Their ABC being creative again. The ex-guard was likely an extra on Neighbours, the crying Doc probably testing the chemicals and the ABC journo taking directions from JournoList.

Their ABC is no longer trusted, it declared itself biased. Just sell it.

David,
I can do the maths 2+2= millions of dollars, refugee resettlement is big business, the refugee advocates are all in it for the money.
I mean, take the much discussed Bendigo Mosque issue, there's been a question hanging over the huge size of the facility, reportedly it'll be the largest islamic prayer hall in the southern hemisphere yet Bendigo has only 36 practicing Muslims residing in the district.
It's only when you put two and two together and realise that it's part of a much bigger development that it's huge capacity makes sense. The Mosque is to be accompanied by a huge new housing estate for refugees, this estate and it's inhabitants will require all the specialised services allotted to refugees, employment agencies, education providers, medical and psychological support etc. The whole project is being financed by Bendigo Bank, who will no doubt be the primary provider of personal loans, insurance, superannuation, credit cards and other financial services to the new arrivals.
When we talk about admitting 13,000 (or the ALP's proposed 27,000) refugees a year we often don't see that in concrete terms, that's a population roughly equal to a town like Lithgow or Wangaratta and these people and their descendants all need life long support from the state but as we know the state contracts out most services to the private sector these days.
It's all about money, government contracts, jobs for the boys and where there's large sums of money there's always corruption, local councils and shire authorities are being pressured to accept migrants by business interests and their head kickers in the Refugee Action Coalition, even in low socio-economic regional areas.
The refugee industry is actually underwritten by the worst kind of crony capitalism, well meaning refugee advocates, the little old ladies, the Christians and all are being made to look like fools, or worse collaborators.

Dear Jay,

So government is trying to ease its bad conscience about the way they hijack people at sea, then lock up and torture them, by inviting in more others and paying them all the way (from the hard-earned money taken from our own pockets).

Let it do neither - and waste our money on neither.

If people want to come and build their own new Bendigo suburb, then let them come and do it at their own expense and labour - don't stop them, don't help them.

The problem is with this rotten idea of "sovereignty" whereby certain people who call themselves "state", assume they have a right to be in control of everything which happens within this whole continent.

Well done Kellie,

You have once again reduced the life expectancy of those who would like to do away with the ABC and those who seem to object to any human rights.

Their blood pressure must go through the roof whenever they read your articles. Keep up the good work.
