If the boats keep coming after refugees are sent to Nauru and New Guinea we need to take it further until the boats stop:

1) Stop all rescues in Indonesian or international waters. Rushing to a sinking boat outside Australian waters is stupid and boat people are already capitalising on this ridiculous policy.

2) When boat people deliberately sabotage boats they are listed as undesirable aliens and returned to their country of birth.

3) Getting a child into Australia should not entitle family members to enter Australia under a family reunion arrangement. The child must forfeit residence and be returned to the country of his birth when application is made for his family to join him.

Lexi - A lot are seeking a better country to support them the refugees from Syria going to Jordon are mostly women and children yet most of the boats we get are filled with 95% men. Even the African refugees from conflict are women and children or whole families, yet again we get 95% men to me this proves something is wrong and we are a country Governed by morons who can't see this or do not want to.

Only Tony can stop the boats.

STOP THE BOATS!

I love Mr Rabbit.

SILLER - You are right about the rescues our navy goes nearly 370Km into Indonesian zone to get them when they are only 48Km from Indonesian land The Indonesian could not find them.
1) the Indonesian Navy was estimated at 74,000 personal in 2008 and more than 150 ships. THEY would have a lot more by now.
2) In 2011 Australia had 14,215 permanent personnel, 2,150 Active Reserve personnel and 54 commissioned vessels (a number are rather defective)
3) Indonesia had a surplus of $ 5,704,000,000 in 2011
4) Australia is BILLIONS in debt yet we give them more etc.

It must be really humiliating for Juliar, who personally put together the failed Labor on shore processing policy. At least Labor has done the right thing for the country and admitted its failure, and that the Pacific solution worked.

The next good thing it could do for the country would be to admit that the carbon tax and IR policies are hurting Australia, and ditch the carbon tax and stop punishing small business employers.

Dear Phillip,

Historically men are prepared to take the risks to find
a suitable "haven" to establish themselves and bring
their families later on to join them. This happened
post World War I and II, and other recent conflicts.

That is why the current report recommended by the expert
panel deleted family re-unions from the agenda to discourage
men making the trip.
