Lexi,

You said: "as to its "humanity." It certainly has to be a better arrangement than the horror that was the "Pacific Solution.""

Pity the high court and most refugee advocates disagreed with you.

Even then the "Horror" of 4 people in detention in 2007 compares very favorably to 4000 in detention now, with nearly 1000 children, and many people having been detained for 18 months or longer.

Lexi, stop being a hypocrite. Put your hand on your heart and tell me you support the Malaysian solution.

Dear SM,

I can't put my hand on my heart and tell you that I support
the Malaysian Solution. I think that you know that.
And much as I enjoy our differences of opinion - I think
that there is one thing we can both agree on and that is -
this issue of asylum seekers is not about to go away any
time soon. That finger-pointing by us "outsiders," in
the political scheme of things is not going to solve anything.
We can only hope that no matter who gets into government in
the future - they will be able to sit down and try to work
out a feasible solution that will be acceptable to all
Australians - regardless of their political inclinations.
I know that's a big ask - but wouldn't it be great - if
politicians supported good reforms - regardless of who
suggested them. (And I won't mention the Malaysian Solution
again, if you don't continue to mention the Pacific Solution).

Lexi,

The difference is that I can put my hand on my heart and say that I believe that the Pacific solution needs to be implemented, and is more humane than the stuff up we have presently.

Dear SM,

We all know that's what you say you believe.
You probably also believe that repetition is
a sign of intelligence.

repetition is a sign of intelligence.
Lexi,
that is one poor reason for Labor to keep on stuffing up.

btw. your earlier reply although way off the mark was in fact very clever. :-)

Dear Individual,

Ask yourself this question -
which party is famous for its
repetition? ("No, No, No!") and
repetitive finger-pointing,
demonization, and
condemnation et cetera - when they've
got nothing else. Go on,
take an intelligent guess.
