This whole Boat People issue is a scam. The LMP won't let Labor have a solution & to be sure as hell Labor won't let the LMP have a solution. If they do then they will lose the next election. It's got nothing to do with Boat People or what's right, it's all to do with getting into Power or staying there. It's all just a big game that costing you & me, the economy & the Country.

Next time there's an Election refuse to vote for any one of the two major parties & the Greens. Then we might see things put right to some extent. Vote in Minor Parties. They will form a Coalition of Politicians who are willing to correct what's wrong with this Country. It'll save the Country a fortune in Political Pensions as well.

Phillip S excuse me for saying it but you are having your self on.
It seems to be a lifetime habit from your post history.
I again make my claim EVERY ARRIVAL IS REPORTED
If you can get away from the cartoon channel read ABC on line nine MSN, SMH.
Try sky news and then the locals you name.
But get it right you are no place near it yet.

Spoken like a true patriot Jayb,
John Hewson was on the wireless today saying much the same thing, we can't stand our politicians, we're voting for the least worst option instead of the best one, the Yanks can't stand Obama and Romney either, they're seen as equally despicable characters. I haven't cast a formal ballot since the end of the first Howard government, from that point on things just went rapidly down hill, my favourite saying nowadays is one that was painted on a wall in the West Melbourne rail yards during the Fraser era:
"DON'T VOTE,IT ONLY ENCOURAGES THEM!"

Belly - You presume too much, for you do not even know where I am and what media I can access. In some places all the media you mention are not available. EBBOM.

Sorry no intention to hurt your feelings.
You put your self out there in this thread.
You make many claims that are not even close to the truth.
You have quite firm views as I do.
Because you are here, telling me I am wrong let me tell you how I started this day.

Belly,

You are missing the point. If you look you will find the reports of the boats arriving, whereas 5 years ago, a boat arrival was front and centre of every major newspaper.
