One thing I must give our conservative brethren, their thinking never changes. In my grandfathers day, and he would be a little over 120 if he was alive today, the conservatives were saying; "we must protect ourselves from the 'yellow peril'", hence the White Australia Policy. Here we are in the year 2012 and the conservatives are still peddling the same line, with comments like:

"consideration towards it's own people when the pseudo refugees start taking over."

I take it our own people are white middle class Anglo Saxon males, would not want to be seen 'protecting' Asians from Asians, those pseudo Australians will just have to hide in their Chinese restaurants and ride out the invading storm. All I can suggest to the hard core conservative is, join National Action, if you have not already done so, get out granddads WWI uniform, and put it on, if you have not already done so, find the old mans 303, and start filling sand bags. Be prepared my son, be prepared. Disregard the fact that conservatives have been pushing the line "the Asian hordes are on their way," for the past 150 years in Australia, and disregard our humanitarian and legal obligations, just man the trenches, and wait.

@Paul1405,

One thing I must give people like Paul is , they never need to think for themselves,
they merely repeat the same old clichés their party has fed them,
and endeavour to live out fairy stories their grandfathers have read them!

<<white middle class Anglo Saxon males, would not want to be seen 'protecting' Asians from Asians, those pseudo Australians will just have to hide in their Chinese restaurants and ride out the invading storm. >>

Sorry to disillusion you Paul, BUT many of those “Asians” who you pretend to be represent , are equally concerned about the state of our border protection --and they are no more welcoming of illegals than their “anglo” colleagues.

A lot of good replies, will pass that idea to the rubbish bin for the moment.
Have to reply to Paul1405
quote " disregard our humanitarian and legal obligations " there is a lot I could say here time does not permit, except to say don't you think Australia has a legal and moral duty to look after there own people first. 1) how many homeless Australians are there "thousands" How many homeless refugees in Australia "none" They get preferential treatment.
quote "Please show a bit of humanity towards your fellow man" Will you be saying the same thing after a few thousand more arrive and to support them your taxes go up and your pension is reduced. Remember of 8500 people accepted under our humanitarian program - 85% of refugees still on Centrelink benefits after being here 5 years.

Philip>> Remember of 8500 people accepted under our humanitarian program - 85% of refugees still on Centrelink benefits after being here 5 years.<<

Phil we have to be careful not to blame the immigrants. The post 1970's immigration influx predominantly comes from second and third world nations. Their only attributes are that they are alive and moving, they are factory fodder as are all people Anglo or immigrant if they have no skills. The problem is we have no factories left. The blame has to go to successive governments and public servants who fell to the bidding of U. N. protocols.

When the factories went and we needed a technocratic class of refugees, we got laborers. In fact our immigration department made it about as hard as a granite wall to get into Australia if you were not uneducated, and if you were technology literate we wiped you early in the process, we didn’t want your kind around here…nothing has changed..

On the issue of asylum seekers my position is clear, I support Greens policy. The position is quite clear, any person arriving at our door, be it at Christmas Island or Kingsford Smith Airport and claiming refugee status, has to be respected. With such arrivals Australia must meet both its humanitarian and international legal obligations. We are required to house, feed and cloth such people until their status has been determined. Due to the time it often takes to process these people and if they do not pose a threat to the wider community then they should put placed in the general community until their status has been determined.
Asylum seekers arriving in leaky boats is not to be encouraged, in fact we should do our best to discouraged it, but it is understandable why people are prepared to undertake such a perilous journey. Australia needs to work with other governments to do our best to deal with the international problem of refugees. For political reasons both the Labor and Liberal parties want 'off shore processing', simply to appease the outcry from the conservatives in society who think asylum seekers should be treated as criminals, an out of sight out of mind policy, only later to sneak the vast majority back into Australia in a jumbo jet.

Paul1405,
Your great grandfather was right after all, you're just too academic to see it all. Unless of course you think Australia has changed for the better in the past few decades.
