But in all truth Malaysia is the CURRENT answer.
Belly,
Typical Labor short-term view. look ahead mate, ahead for crying out loud. Geez ! Malaysia is way past the half-way mark, too close already.
Stop them from being refugees then no-one could claim refugee status. period !

My points have been proven by the content of the replies from the handful of people here who are anti refugee.

These few anti refugee supporters are amongst a minority of Australians who are paranoiac about refugees. Last century this minority of Australians had real power, and developed the White Australia Policy. Throughout the last 100 years or so these types of people resisted virtually EVERY influx of migrants and refugees (except from predominantly white countries like England , USA, Ireland etc). Basically they believe in an insular, Fortress Australia, and that we are being invaded by horrid, dangerous people.

EVERY long past influx of migrants and refugees has resulted in long term economic and social benefit to Australia. It's broadened our country's horizons and made Australia a better place. The long term economic benefits have always been WAY, WAY more than any initial, short term economic cost.

But the minority of Australians who are rabidly anti refugee, like the several people here, will forever remain closed minded to the worth of refugees as people and how they can benefit our great nation. Nothing whatsoever can change their minds. There always was, is, and will always be people like this who possess an insular view of Australia. So be it. They are a minority. They will never open their minds.

Diamond Pete are you related to Indy? both posts make little sense.
He wants the imposable you claim, on your green behalf we think differently than we do.
Down the back of the hall you will find a single seat, it is the greens place in history, face to the corner.
Constantly claiming mass support, as the polls show the opposite, a lost tribe.
Truth is, as HOWARD KNEW, Australians want an end to boat ECONOMIC MIGRANTS, using the word refugee is deceptive they are not.
Some surely more capable than Indy see more than a chance Malaysia will work?
If not tell me what will.
Tell me too how we return those without papers.
Now by all means, make it a crime, not for true refugees but boat people, to come without papers.
Ripping the ALP apart is fun, but how will it fix this?

DiamondPete,
I'm not anti refugee in the sense that some people are in dire need of help. I'm anti refugee in the sense that it is abhorrent that there are refugees due to political & religious persecution.
You are simply too silly & short-sighted to comprehend what I'm advocating. Why don't you concentrate on commenting on frisbee throwing or something similar that is more in line with your mentality.
You could also try & live in enclaves chocked up with anti westerners & write about that but I don't suppose they'd let you hang off their aprons like our authorities do.
Some of us have to express concern about the threat to our Nation because the silly ones like you don't due to a severe lack of sense & foresight.

Belly,
The presence of the ALP caused this mess so it's not too unreasonable to think that the absence of the ALP might actually fix it again.

DiamondPete,
No point in trying to make us feel sorry for you.
