We will have to wait until later in the day to find out what the response of the Australian government is going to be but I suspect it will only be a token number beset with many conditions. As a country we could possibly absorb more than 100,000, but that is not likely to happen.

I can understand the author's dismay and anger! Fancy actually doing something the vast majority of his fellow countrymen want rather than following his idiot ideas.
Well sunshine get used to it. I for one am so pleased that this will send a clear message of what the consequences are when a "Religion" decides that we will bow down to it. Bring in people who have suffered from Islam and watch Shorten change his tune.
Mate this is what your fellow Australian's want and you have to realise although you think you are so smart you are actually a complete fool.
Look at Europe and the disaster that has been wholesale muslim immigration, just look!

More tripe from this bigot who wants our stupid politicians to import more enemies of the West.

Yep we know its the getup crowd who are the 'compassionate' ones. Although the hundreds of thousands of babies murdered each year would not agree. The hatred of Abbott by these Government funded activist is incredible. The same mob who want to spend billions on refugees make numerous unfunded promises on education , health etc. When ask to pay $5 for a doctor civil disobedience follows. The left and its gullible followers are contemptible with their false outage and compassion. Now their hatred of Christianity ( exposing their false morality) will result in more terrorist in this country. How the left can use a picture of a drowned 3 year old, make up so many lies and fool the masses shows the education system had succeeded in dumbing down so many.

I would suggest that Australia, amongst one of the most generous refugee intake nations in the western OECD nations, take the MOST endangered refugees, those with the least likelihood of safe return when the situation settles (Christian, Zadiki and other minority groups) from Syria, commensurate proportionately (per head of population and GDP) with those of Saudi Arabia, Quata, United Arab Emirates and the other gulf states. I think that would be fair and reasonable.

ah that's Runner showing that Christian compassion again.

Just replace the word Muslim with Jew and see if you still think your posts are acceptable.
