Hmmh, no takers ? anyone have any ideas how to stop the invasion ?

Dear Individual,

Yes I do. Don't vote for inflexible pollies at the
next election - like the Opposition and the Greens.
This latest fiasco in Parliament was a total disgrace.
Fancy not giving a compromise the chance to see if it
works for at least 12 months. Pathetic!
How on earth did these people ever get elected?
Shame on all of them.

But Lexi,
Wasn't it Labor that opened the gates & is now blaming the Libs & Greens for greasing the hinges ?

Dear Individual,

No - you're buying the conservative BS.

Have a read of this:

The Opposition and the Greens had a chance in
Parliament yesterday to try a compromise for 12 months
which was presented to them. They refused - putting
politics ahead of the national interest. Again, I
repeat - shame on them all!

This latest fiasco in Parliament was a total disgrace.
Lexi,
Couldn't agree more. fancy making a big show of trying to close the gate after the horse has bolted. Pretty stupid.
That report is typical of those highly qualified academics. All rhetoric, never any action.
Why doesn't John Menadue go to the Middle East & offer his expertise over there & stop the people from having to leave in the first place.
Would be way better than all those fancy graphs which only show us the increase in people traffic.

Labor has had the ability to proceed with off shore processing for 4 years, and has done nothing, simply preferring to let people die rather than compromise.

Shame on Juliar and her heartless cabinet, and Labor's gutless backbench that hates the policy of sending unaccompanied minors to Malaysia to be beaten, but says nothing.
