579>> The only plan that had a chance of working is Malaysia, it made cense.<<

I dunno 579, we send 800 to Malaysia without papers and we get 4000 with papers back. The deal stinks, not to mention the millions we have to give Malaysia for their upkeep.

I agree the pedigree of the asylum seekers is better, but it was not a solution then and it is not a solution now. I think the most important aspect is that Malaysia is not a signatory to the bullsheiser human rights mandates that the stupid first world has signed up to. We take the economic refugees because of these mandates, but we send them off to a non signatory country.

New Zealand is a back door to Australia for refugees anyway as well as Pacific Islanders and other non White migrants.
The bleeding hearts might be able to convince themselves that it's acceptable to import thousands of unemployable, hostile and unassimilable Afghans and Tamils but can they give us a reason why we should have thousands of unemployable, hostile and unassimilable Tongans, Samoans and Maori living here?

Oh Lexi, that saddens me, you take care my belle, our hearts do so much more than drive blood.

We send 800 to Malaysia for 4000 in return, Why would you pay to get on a boat if you knew you were going to be sent to malaysia to get on the back of the que. The 4000 had already been processed but had nowhere to go because of the que jumpers.

Lexi I have been aware of your absence and missed you.
You are the best Doctor you could get, be positive.
Three time I have been told I have cancer and it proved wrong.
Know many of us value you a great deal and are thinking of you.
Ludwig hope your thought is you know in in cheek.

Why not take in a few Kiwis, they could be the life savers in the australian gene pool.
