SPQR,
Right on. StG should look at the figures on the DIAC site, they are all there and easy enough to find.

Very few illegal entrants come by air and they are ALL packed off again to their place of departure within 72 hours. There are few because the airlines have to bear the cost.

Still it is not unusual for the advocates of the illegals to say anything.

I agree that many of those arriving here boat or plane are shonks.
I too highlight a truth Labor under estimated the anti boat refugee feeling in this country.
Got it wrong.
How ever greens could fix it over night, if they wanted majority's wishes to stand.
Abbott would be heart broken, he clearly could fix the issue.
But honestly puts Australia second to his ambition.

Don't be so hard on the Mad Monk, Belly, it's the Greens you should take aim at. MM is hoping like hell the Greens will hold fast to their sentimentalist ideals to pave his way as other avenues to the Lodge have dried up.

Well he doesn't have much to worry about does he L'? It is hardy likely the greens will ever do anything intelligent.

They & Julia do belong together.

Please for give Hasbeen L, under that red neck a fine gardener lives.
It is true, an unfortunate Truth, Abbott is quite capable of doing a deal.
Just as true the insignificant little bloke will be held accountable by history and his own party.

Greens? let those who support them first answer,are they aware 12% is not a majority?
Are they aware they could by backing the government, get Malaysia closer to the UNHCR?
Maybe help far more already in that country than those Australia takes.
Time, history, and changing events will judge both Abbott's circus and Greens side show, fellow traveler to Conservatives.

You realise illegal immigrants are also ones that over stay their visa?
