Some things taking place here OLO concern me.
That last post of raw mustards is up to his usual standards, quite offensive.
Individual? well not worth the read no more uninformed poster ever wrote here.
Lexi, I have noted insults and corrections aimed at you.
From the ivory tower of others opinions for a long while.
Yes at times even from on high.
Remember good and kind lady, far worse, near flaming goes unnoticed here.
I love this place , but not enough to stay if you are driven away by lessor beings.
I would not feel comfortable in such as that leftist thing we both read and get e mail up dates.
But give this advice, some of our detractors here are bright and intelligent.
Others struggle in real life to be other than the verbal BULLY'S they present them selves to be here.
We all of us, are charged with being as good as we can, here in the forum.
However to be considered other than fair and reasonable for defending truth.
Is our down fall.
This line I write slowly, for Indy, RM, SPQR.
Find the lie in this
Gillard is indeed unloved and unliked.
Yet consistently.
She wins with easy as preferred Prime Minister.
More trust her than Mr NEGATIVE.
A man who has told more lies by his admission, than she ever has.
You win every time by not letting the crude and rude get to you.

The Malaysian solution stripped the human rights of the asylum seekers far more than the Pacific solution ever did. This was acknowledged by the Labor left the greens and eventually by the judgement of the high court. Having pointed this out the Coalition would have been guilty of the worst hypocrisy. The judgement having pointed out that in Nauru the asylum seekers fell under the jurisdiction of the Australian Government, and that this was far better.

579 and Belly seem to now feel that this has changed and are happy to send children to Malaysia to be beaten.

Labor had an effective border protection policy in place and trashed it. Juliar's alliance with the greens is unable to change the laws and now has the balls to ask the coalition to abandon all its humanitarian principles?

Dear Belly,

Thank You for your concern but please don't worry.
I love this forum (same as you), and even though
things can get heated at times - I've learned
so much - especially from people that I often
disagree with. My views aren't set in concrete
and often I'll go back and have a re-think and
genuinely try to see things from the other person's
point of view. For example, there's always a reason
why people think the way they do - each of us has
our own set of experiences. However, I've learned
something from so many people. I don't pretend to have
all the answers - and as many know - like everyone -
I sometimes get things wrong. Anyway, I believe that everyone
here is a decent human being - and after-all this is
only an opinion forum. That's something we
sometimes forget - when our discussions get a bit robust.
I'm going to try to be a bit more understanding (New Year's
Resolution). It may only work for a short time - but heck,
it's worth a try.

The nub of the matter is, as Mr abbott and his forever faithful, beyond-reason apologist, Shadow Minister, well know is that simply shifting processing from onshore detention centres to Nauru, by itself, was a failure and will be a failure again.

What is needed, as Mr A and SM well know, is Australian Navy guns firing across the bows of boats, boarding then, turning them or towing them back from whence they came for a one-hundred percent certain outcome.

Will a majority of Australians support a return to this action by the next election? Mr A and SM are certainly hoping so. It's all the Coalition has left in its armoury to get back in and it's not letting go, even though borders will remain open for two years as a consequence. Stinking, putrid politics.

At least the Greens have a principled position, they want onshore processing with minimal detention. Mr A and SM feign priciple, telling you that the Malaysian Solution equates to rape and child-beating, but they know that's just to mask a total lack of concern for human rights and safety which will be returned when Mr A presses the Australian Navy into service once more. The fact is, the Government will keep an eye on Malaysia in its dealings and can always pull the pin if it fails its side of the bargain.

So folks, we have two years more of open borders unless the Malaysian Solution is adopted by the grace of the Coalition.

Why would anyone want him to support the crazy, screwed up ideas your inept lot have foisted on a lied to Australian public?
That's why he's called an "OPPOSITION LEADER" - Get it? OPPOSITION!

Anyway, we'll see how popular she is at the next swapping of our corrupt rulers. She's finished you know and so is your lot of thieves and scoundrels!

Exactly why I have no time for your fake opinions; because they're not yours, but scripted verses passed onto you by your slave-masters.

This is suppose to be online opinion not a recital podium for labour party scripted propaganda.
