The solution is easy do what the UN do in Africa. When they arrive they get a tent and every few days some food THAT IS ALL. Watch how quickly they stop coming.
What do we give - air conditioned housing, smokes, food, internet, doctors, phones, plasma TV's, money, lawyers, refugee advocates, preferential housing and welfare payments for life to name a few, ALL for nothing they have done nothing for Australia.

The sad thing is they will get here tell us what we are doing isnt what they have been promised by their tour guides and burn or destroy what we have given them. All this while Australians carnt get housing or help from this so called government. Open up the centres for the public and send these world tourists back.

Dear Shadow Minister,

What Mr Abbott offered was to increase the intake
of asylum seekers to 20,000. And he wanted the
compromise that was being considered by Parliament
to have off-shore processing only in countries
that have signed the Refugee Agreement. This was
simply a ploy to obstruct the government. Mr Abbott
knows very well that he's not in Government and is
in no position to increase the numbers of asylum
seekers. And Nauru was not a signatory to the
Refugee Agreement the entire time of the Pacific
Solution. To suddenly be concerned about asylum
seekers on "Humanitarian Grounds," is laughable
and hypocritical.

Hehe, these people smugglers are showing up the Australians, for
the suckers that they really are.

50 miles ? They might even get their boats back for the next load
and of course the crew, not being in Australian waters, cannot be
arrested. Load after load, with little risk and the Aussies
will fall for it.

What a bunch of suckers, this country has become.

and it applies equally to BOTH Labor & Liberal administrations
SPQR,
I have to bail you up on this one. Yes it does happen under either admin but only because the Public Service is always Labor saturated even when the Liberals are in.
When we get a conservative administration we must change the key people in the Public Service also. Otherwise the whole show is a waste of time. How many more times does it need to be proven ?

Lexi, Nauru has undertaken to sign up to the treaty.
I find it hard to believe that someone who seems to be as well up on
current affairs as yourself did not know that.
Or did it just not suit your argument ?
