runner - What I find puzzling is that the opposition did not have the intelligence to blow holes in the statistics provided by the Government.
Instead they came up with ludicrous reporting conditions, just lock them up till they can be transported back to where they came from.

The "Asylum Seekers" are nearly all men, when you add surplus men to society you see a rise in violent crime, remember the Indian student "Crisis"? Every country which has accepted "Asylum seekers" now has a massive crime immigrant problem, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Belgium Greece..every single one.
For example in Oslo over the past five years every single confirmed case of sexual assault and rape of women has been perpetrated by immigrant men and over the last three years the number of rapes has doubled.

Jay Of Melbourne - You are right, I have been saying for ages "95% on most boats are men early 20's to late 40's" BUT in all Africa and Syria the refugees are women and children or whole families.
There is something wrong with that but politicians can't see that, the future is going to be bad just as it is in England and other countries that have the same.

Phillip S,
Fighting age men in other words, we're right to applaud the anti Assad militiamen but we're supposed to pity the shirkers and cowards running away from Afghanistan and Sri Lanka?
We saw with the Indian "student" debacle what happens when you add even a few thousand extra men to a society, when the gender balance is upset then men fight each other over women.
What's the point of a "better life" for a man without women in his life?
We also see the concentration of these men in already stressed areas such as Casey and Dandenong so it's the poor who are going to be taking the brunt of the inevitable rise in crime and day to day violence, it'll be the young migrant women and girls who will be raped and mercilessly harassed by the "Asylum seekers".
White men, we know will sit back and allow this to happen because they are weak, Sudanese, Islander and Lebanese men won't put up with their women folk being harassed or assaulted, they'll retaliate just like they did when the Indians were running amok.

That "We saw with the Indian "student" debacle" was bad but a few weeks after that was the worst one I have ever heard of in India 3 children girls 6,9 and 12 YO were looking for there mother after school they were found raped and dumped down a well. That is sickening.

Just go back around 2000 the Muslim gangs in Sydney up to 14 people going around at least they were caught.

Phillip, where did I mention indigenous?

Belly, sorry for once again being I'll informed,but hey, let's face it, every time someone challenges your point of view, they are I'll informed.

So I guess you are now going to try to tell me that had the Howard government not been voted out, that our borders would be in the same mess as their in today.

YEH RIGHT!

I think I would rather be I'll informed than believe that sought of crap.

Why on earth labor lovers just can't see what a mess labor have caused, in pretty much everything they have touched is beyond me.

There can only be one reason, brainwashing.
