My vote is with hasbeen, hard for greens and fellow travelers to except but Australia is too.
I have this question, hasbeen and I are fire and water he in my view far right me Labor right,
We get in to fights and do no harm.
My very intellect is challenged by the green left 12% moral fibre balance a great deal.
Any tiny chance, just a little one?
Majority views matter, NAH asking too much.

It will be interesting to see if the Malaysian
Solution gets passed. Abbott won't support it,
neither will the Greens. So what are it's chances
of being passed? Also as Tony Jones pointed out
on "Q and A," las night - there are proposed changes
to the Migration Act that take away certain human
rights protections. This is disturbing to say the
least.

Perhaps the greatest problem in Oz, & much of the western world today, Lexi, is far too many "rights" human or any other kind.

It's about time we had a few more responsibilities, rather than rights.The responsibility to protect our boarders, & the Oz way of life is one that has been neglected for too long.

It is bl00dy ridiculous that boarder busting criminals get legal aid, when most Ozzies can't.

It is bl00dy ridiculous that once these criminals have conned their way in, with our taxes paying for the con, they are then given more benefits than most Ozzie get in a life time.

Time for it to stop.

"Criminals" Hasbeen?

Dear Hasbeen,

Perhaps you'd better Google "Asylum Seekers rights," and
find out just exactly what entitlements they receive.
It may surprise you.

As for criminals? As far as I'm aware people with criminal
records are not allowed into the country.
Except possibly for the very rich - as happened under
Philip Ruddock. But that's a different story, and hopefully
a one of.

Sorry folks, they only have rights if they are asylum seekers, & I among 80% of the Oz population don't accept more than a couple of percent of them are asylum seekers.

Has any one noticed that this flood of bludgers is only a problem for the bleeding heart afflicted west, & the biggest problem is with the countries with the highest welfare payments. Don't hear much problem in Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, or other wealthy countries.

Try busting into most of them, without the right paperwork, & you'll be considered a criminal, just as you should.
