*Where do all the other nations in the world send their refugees to, to be processed off-shore?*

TBC, nations use all sorts of ways and means to fight them off
with all sorts of sticks. All because nobody wants to address the
situation and update the UN Convention, although I gather that
Blair did try.

But why should Australia copy others? I've heard the arguments
before, that our Govt should borrow more, as other Govts do.
Luckily we didn't copy Europe or the US on that one and had a
sensible treasurer like Costello, who made sure we went our
own way. With hindsight he was 100% correct, as history now shows.

Gillard is trying to instigate the CO2 tax before she gets dumped.We cannot trust the Coalition either.The banks and the share market want their new derivative.There is enormous pressure on both parties to bring in a tax that will further destroy our industries making our country a cheap buy for those who counterfeit our currencies.That is their objective.
