A couple of things if I may - Firstly, I'm heartened by the expectation that there're people like you out there, who are prepared to speak with so much sound common sense !
We're just ordinary folk who are mortified at the prospect of watching our beloved country being slowly usurped, from right under our collective noses, by a group of faceless men and women ensconced deep within the hallowed halls of Parliament House, Canberra.
It's these people who are either unable or unwilling to strongly preserve the integrity of our Borders!
My second issue;
All my adult life I've been an arch-conservative, and thus, voted for the Liberal Party both, in State and Federal elections. I've never apologised nor resiled from my conservative position.
Therefore, when I heard that Mr ABBOTT had blown the opportunity to canvass the views and opinions from the Indonesian President, on an important plank in the Liberal's 'Boat People' policy - by signalling his future Govt's intent to tow these leaky boats back from whence they came ? Apparently, he failed to do so !
May I ask why ? Stupidly, a rhetorical question I realize !
Mr Abbott, is no different than all the other 'pollies' in Canberra. All talk and promises, devoid of any substance.
This man who wishes to succeed Ms Gillard post the next election, has again demonstrated he's bereft of all (leadership) courage.
And please, don't let him claim he's waiting for a more appropriate time, and a more favourable diplomatic opportunity, in order to broach his solution with the President ? Simply, it just doesn't wash, sadly.
