Love your post o sung wu!

It is very good to get an ex-copper’s perspective on this stuff.

Cheers.

Lexi,

Juliar lied again. She said that the coalition hadn't moved an inch. They had offered to increase the intake and drop the demand for TPVs. However what they were not prepared to do was stoop to the complete abandonment of human rights that was the Malaysian solution which is why the high court banned it. While Nauru was not perfect, it was much better than abandoning children in Malaysia.

It is starting to look to me as if the navy, & the Immigration department have orders to get as many boat people in as possible.

After all, with the ongoing arguments, the boaties are likely to all be Labor voters, expecting to get people in, as long as Labor is in government.

So it appears that our Julia to be playing yet another lying little game with us.

I am going to enjoy voting, for the first time ever, at the next election.

Yeah Hasbeen, I’ve had similar thoughts.

What on earth are they really doing?

They could have stopped the boats if they’d wanted to.

What was really behind Rudd’s opening up of this whole issue again?

He couldn’t have made that despicable decision alone. He would have to have had the support of his closest allies, including Gillard, if not the wider support of his party as well.

Do they actually really want asylum seekers to come here, in as large numbers as possible, because they’d vote Labor?

But they can’t vote until they are Australian citizens, surely!

Hmmmmmmmm.

Now Haz it is really late. Go to bed for goodness sake!

Dear Bazz,

Nauru wasn't a signatory at the time of the
Pacific Solution was the point being made.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Crying over a small child in Parliament -
being unaccompanied -
while 90 die at sea and you have the power to
try to put a stop to it at least for 12 months
to see if a compromise works - is at best -
total hypocrisy and at worst - a disgrace!

The refugees should be sent to live with Kevin Rudd as he dismantled the Pacific solution which stopped them coming. His actions here have made him a tragedy for Australia. The high court should be disregarded and legislated out of the equation. The crocodile tears shed in federal parliament are worthy of an Oscar, tears shed for the media are not surely not worthy of our democracy.
