"If the Greens are so opposed to shipping children to Malaysia, they why are they not doing anything?"

Unless you'd rather the refugees stay here all along- why are you complaining that a party is NOT stopping it?

Makes no sense- save for wanting an excuse for something to complain about.

You definitely don't see me complaining about Liberal clearing us of our national debt, or Labor's idea for the NBN (until it started to go downhill in that case).

As most can gather, I don't always see eye to eye with Bob browns mindsets, and seeing Australia become the dumping site for the worlds problems or human cargo as I like to call them, I stick with what can be a huge broken leg, and overpopulation is my greatest concern. I say process them Off Shore, ( goodness knows what pathogen that could be a threat ) and keep the protests down where it doesn't cost the Australian tax payer, not to mention the integrity of us all.

Greens leader Bob Brown says the Malaysian asylum-seeker swap plan is unacceptable, but he says he won't bring down the Labor government because the coalition would be worse.

Senator Brown said asylum seekers should be processed in Australia.

This is where I disagree.

"We don't see the advantage that the government apparently sees in sending people to Malaysia, in particular vulnerable children and/or their families," he told ABC Television.

"Whether they are accompanied or not they should be processed here onshore in Australia as all other equivalent reasonable countries do around the world."

He rejected suggestions that he could withdraw support from Labor in the House of Representatives and bring down the government.
"You then end up with the nastiness of the approach to these people wanting to come to Australia of the Abbott alternative. It's just downright nasty," he said.

Hummmm makes you think, don't it.

Damed if you do and damed if we dont........Oh and bazz, its in bellies post, the religious quote.

And....the call is to hold off for another two weeks on the discussion.

Legal time badly used, IMO.

King Hazza,

I would prefer that the boats didn't come in the first place as under the pacific solution. However, the question is for the greens, if they are so opposed to the Malaysian solution, and have the power to stop it, why don't they?

And if they don't then they need to accept some responsibility for shipping kids to Malaysia.

Justice Kenneth Hayne will be busy looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life for upstaging the show.

Bob Brown told us why he has not interfered with the children being sent to Malaysia, I will repeat that then tell you why .
He said Liberals plan is worse.
I think however he has been told,Labor has made up its mind, it will go down fighting.
It says this has to work, Australia for the most part demand it.
And do not kill it yet it will work.
I ask the Conservatives here this question.
On gaining government, and you will, are these children the same ones you intend to turn around at sea and send back.
Supplementary, did you show the same concern about Nehru.

Thay have to send the unaccompanied children to Malaysia otherwise
there will be boatloads of unaccompanied children coming.
Just makes business sense.

If you were running a people smuggling business would you not do that ?
