Chrisgaff,
Your first proposal is logical, the other points are not.

cg1000>> Make all prisoners work for their sustenance. Remember when it used to be "Imprisonment with hard labor"?<<

We used to do that, but with free trade agreements the prisons found that they could source the same items cheaper from third world prisons. Blame the Lima agreement on that.

Dear chrisgaff1000 and Sonofgloin,

<<"Imprisonment with hard labor">>

Though I don't wish it on anyone, one day you too could become a prisoner, either because you have no conscience or because you have one, or perhaps just because you happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Nauru should be used as a staging point.

The illegal immigrants should be shipped here, processed, and the economic migrants put on a plane back.

Turning around the boats and TPVs will also be a great dis incentive.

Bugger putting them on planes SM, by the time they have been assessed, they have cost us enough all ready.

Stick them back on the boats they came on, & give them 24 hours to get out of our territorial waters, or be sunk as invaders, which is of course, what they are.

the letter most written on peoples mind to the PM is election please. The grubby independants who took the morally superior ground in disguising their hatred will be gone soon. The slimy smirk on their faces is disappearing albiet slowly.
