Luciferase,

So then you are happy with the estimated 500 that have perished at sea thanks to the removal of the pacific solution?

As for the figures on boats turned around I did check, and the number is 4. While 14 boats were approached, only 4 were actually turned around.

Now we have to grab them of the Indo coast? What are the Navy, the fricken Thunderbirds?

I like the way 99% of people blame Australia or Malaysia , for the terrible things that happen to the asylum seekers. What I dont seem to understand is WHY we do not scream as loud at the reasons for WHY these people to seek asylum.

Dear Mick C.,

We don't ask important questions -
Because of the total irrelevant and
unimportant issues that clog up our public debates.

While our pollies keep stoking
and politicising issues such as these - Australia will
never develop into a mature nation. If they don't stop
we may stop paying attention to politics altogether.

Imagine no people dying at sea whilst travelling to Australia, and only one boat a year.

Bring back the Pacific solution.
