Asylum seekers are victims of selfishness : Comments

By Bruce Haigh, published 6/5/2016

Australia is a sick country, primarily because it has become such a selfish and self-centred country. A sense of entitlement pervades, indeed is encouraged and fostered within the ruling class and politicians.

If you think that the piffling amount of refugees that are of concern to the neocons in this country is the peak of the problem you are in for a big disappointment.
There will be many millions who will be following on and our "border farce" will be unable to stem the flow.
The laugh is that if we, through our worthy Prime minister Howard, had not tagged onto the US coat tails and invaded two sovereign countries on the weakest of pretexts, this would not be happening here.
Get used to it because it is not going to go away any time soon.
As climate change bites harder there will be an increase in refugees from countries that are unable to cope with sea level rise, and extreme weather events.
Good luck

The Greens want to bring in 50,000 Muslim refugees a year, statistically 85% of those people will never be able to support themselves with the picture just as bleak even 3 generations down the track.
So that's roughly the population of Shepparton or Bathurst added to the social security roll, for life every 12 months with all the complex and expensive infrastructure, policing and social service needs of high dependancy communities.
Let's just call a spade a spade, the agenda is limitless development and service contracting to high dependancy communities, the motive is financial profit, compassion and a "fair go" don't enter into it.

Anyone for some multicultural integration just watch the attack on video of one of at least 6 victims in Adelaide by low life African 20 yo youth.

Perfect candidate for deporting.

The people at Manus and Naru made as their first contact with this
country a criminal act. They entered the country after destroying their passports.

We know they had them because they could not have flown to Malaysia or Indonesia without passports.
There is a big problem coming over the horizon.
Egypt with its own resources can only support about 40 million people.
Its population is about 85 million. Egypt is being supported by
charity mostly by Gulf countries but that is drying up and will at
some time stop. Where will 40 million Egyptians go ?
Most I think will walk or go by sea to Europe or Russia.
If they are stopped there and they get the message that Australia is
a soft touch smugglers will easily be able to finance old ships to
bring several thousand per ship here.
Their port of entry would probably be Fremantle or Darwin.
It is an obvious business plan for the smugglers.

The thing that worries me is that this ratbag was employed in our diplomatic service, when obviously his sympathies are with almost anyone but Australian citizens.

How many responsible for the conduct of our diplomatic relations with these other nations are of a similar mind frame. It appears that we need to take a serious look at just who we are hiring in our diplomatic service. We need to be sure they are Australian patriots, not apologists for every worthless bunch in the world, with more interest in their well being than ours.

Bazz - Putin unlike the fool Angla Mercle is not stupid they will not be allowed to go to Russia, he will use the military to stop them and the people will support him as they have seen the EU debacle with the so called refugees.
