Dear Individual,

What description do I have of our current Prime Minister?
She's a very determined and capable professional whose goals are to serve the nation in the interests of the majority and to drag Australia into the 21st century. To make Australia a prosperous and recognized leader in our region.

Dear SPQR,

As I've written earlier - there are people who are opportunists and will take advantage of any situation in their own interests - at the expense of others no matter what their origins be it from overseas or locally. The point that is important to remember however is that we do have rules and regulations and laws in place that determine legitimate seekers of asylum. Unfortunately I must admit that our authorities are too slow in applying these processes compared to other nations when dealing with refugees. New zealand seems to be able to process them a lot faster and don't seem to have the problems we have.

There will be economic refugees who will take advantage of the world crisis situation to try to get ahead of legitimate applicants - but that's stating the obvious - and it's something we all know. It's part and parcel of the "Me" mentality of modern cultrue that we see in our everyday life. It's not something that only specific to asylum seekers and it appears more prevalent in some cultures.

Julia Gillard is an empty-headed moron who clearly, more than any past PM, merely reads out what someone else writes for her to say;

However, Tony Abbot IS a psychopath and a moron who admitted he can't cope with budgeting an opposition member's salary, is a religious nut, and is happy to backflip on his own policies (including border protection) to bribe other parliament members.

Needless to say, I don't vote for either party because both of their leaders a frightening bunch.

And individual, to answer your points about compassion- I'd refer back to my initial screening process; my compassion stops at religious fanatics, tribal, mentally/emotionally-unstable, amoral, crooked or criminally-inclined individuals needing my help- much in the same way I would never let some drug-addicted psychopath into my house- even if he were being chased by a gang.
No good deed goes unpunished.
And to your "who would notice a few thousand"- the people they're moving next door to definitely would- and I'm sure they would appreciate my criteria being applied too.

Lexi,
That's great to hear. Any idea when she is going to start to do all that ?

Dear Individual,

Thanks for making me laugh.
That was an excellent question.
And of course the answer is - hopefully
sooner than later.
