Lexi,
why is that you never offer solutions ?

Where on earth do you find a Francis Drake, when you need one?

He has proved he knows what to do with an invasion fleet.

Dear Banjo,

On the contrary, I have pulled out not because
your information is "impeccable" but because
you can't, or don't want to take on information
that is. I therefore see no point in continuing.

The government, the Australian Human Rights
Commission, as well as the Refugee Council, have
stated that asylum seekers who arrive in Australia
by boat are not acting illegally. This is not
propaganda, nor something that I'm making up.

Quoting from the Refugee Council's link,

"In line with our obligations under the UN Refugee
Convention (to which Australia is a signatory),
Australian law permits unauthorised entry into
Australia for the purposes of seeking asylum.
Asylum seekers do not break any Australian laws simply
by arriving on boats without authorisation."

"This means that it is incorrect to refer to asylum
seekers who arrive without authorisation as "illegal"
entrants as in fact they have a lawful right to enter
Australia to seek asylum."

"Permitting asylum seekrs to enter a country without
travel documents is similar to allowing ambulance
drivers to exceed the speed limit in an emergency -
the action would be ordinarily considered illegal, but
under the curcumstances it's reasonable to make an
exception."

Lexi,

"...but under the circumstances it's reasonable to make an exception."

Especially if you're wearing a red bikini...

Dear Poirot,

Yes, a red bikini definitely helped as did
political agendas way back in 1955 when a
PM wanted to win a federal election:

Lexi,

The illegal immigrants essentially are guilty of using irregular or illegal methods of entering the country, which has nothing to do with their rights as refugees. This is exactly is referred to in the department of immigration's website.

As the boat crews that bring them are jailed for 5 years, their method of entry can hardly be called legal. The boat people are illegal immigrants no matter how much the greens and activists try and sanitize the language.
