PhilipS,

Thank you for having the courage to expose another aspect of the biggest baddest scam around.The next time they have one of those Order of Australia nominations I’ll be putting you name in—you must be at least as deserving as many of the previous winners!

So, now we find that all the talk we’ve heard about asylum scammers exemplary behavior is BS.
And all Minister Bowen’s tough talk about deporting offenders was a double dose of BS.
(remember Lexi -and other apologists- telling us to wait and let things play out! ROFLMAO)

The more one learns about asylum scamming the more it becomes apparent just how corrupt the whole process is.

Asylum scammers bribe and bully their way to our shores--but just as long as they tell a good story-- they’ll (eventually) get rubber stamped "found to be genuine".

The boat crew blame the asylum scammers: “they threaten us and forced us to take them to Oz , we thought we were just taking them for a sightseeing cruise”!

The asylum scammers blame the people smugglers: “he took our passport and made us follow him all the way to OZ”!

The people smugglers (rebadged by refugee advocates as modern day Schindlers) lead a busy life jetting between their summer house in Melbourne and their winter residence in Jakarta.

And everyone gets off:
If you are (“ an under age”) boat crew you’re likely to be compensated for wrongful imprisonment and flown home to mummy in time for dinner.

If you’re an asylum scammer you’ll wind up with free bed and board and for life, the “right” to bring out all your relos, and the "right" to send your kids (cost free) to the fundamentalist school of your choice.

If you’re a “refugee” advocate you get a warm and fuzzy feeling from having struck another blow against those racist, rapacious, rednecks “how dare they think that OZ can control its border”!

Only the Australia tax payer* is left deflated and out of pocket
(*I can safely use the broad term tax payer because I am confident that any audit would show that most “refugee” advocates would not make a net contribution to our tax revenue)

SPQR,
I agree and Phillip S please keep on recording crimes, etc. carried out by so called refugees.

It has taken far to long for the Vic police to acknowledge gang and other crimes committed by refugees. The truth is that many of these people will not or cannot integrate into our society and we should stopp allowing them to come here.

there are thousands of refugees in Burma, for example, that could come and we have had no problem with the Burmese that have come thus far. We need to be far more selective.

The illegals really have to be stopped forthwith.

I am pleasantly surprised none of the usual do gooders and refugee advocate have tried to dispute anything, maybe they are now reviewing there outlook.

The scammers are not the only problem another is the politically correctness that bullies the public servants into classifying them as genuine refugees. There is no way the 10,000 ones released were properly checked out.

The smugglers have won again now the economic invaders are virtually guaranteed release into the community with guaranteed money and housing. They know the detention centers are full.

Anyone want to bet $10 this 5 years to get the paperwork done is a big joke, so called no advantage, the advantage as I have always said is Indonesia and Malaysia give them NOTHING not one cent.

Ten billion dollars was the figure quoted in Parliament this afternoon, that's what it's cost the country since Labor's election, and I'm not sure that even includes the cost of the ADF participation in the scheme.
What was Denticare going to cost, was it 4 billion over five years?
Well making sure every low income Australian could go and see a dentist at least once a year free of charge was too expensive but helping Third World criminals and economic refugees flee their homeland is apparently a better use of funds.
Free Dental care was one of Bob Brown's pet projects, now we have the Green women in charge and because their feelings are feely they'd rather avoid their duty of care to their supporters just so they don't have to feel guilty about sending people back where they belong to face up to whatever it is they're fleeing.
Notice that almost all the "Asylum seekers"from Asia are men?
Now look at places which are really at war and are genuinely dangerous, notice that almost all the refugees are women and children?
When there's real imminent danger afoot men don't flee, they stay and fight so that the women and children can escape safely, this is a universal characteristic of human society.
The men arriving on boats are not in danger, if they were they'd be organising and fighting, what did the "poor persecuted" Hazara do during the Afghan civil war? They formed a militia, made alliances and worked as an Iranian proxy in the region, when the ISAF forces leave they'll just do the same again.

Further proof the system of assessing refugees is ABSOLUTELY a JOKE an asylum seeker was cleared for community detention even though he was wanted in Egypt for premeditated murder and terrorism. It took 5 months for the truth to come out, in the meantime he was in a low security facility.

What is happening they are being released after "a brief assessment" rather than full check.

With the large number of asylum seekers ASIO has been forced to conduct full security assessments only on 10-15 per cent of boat arrivals under a new triaging process. I wonder who is living next to the 85 to 90% of potential criminals?

Remember how efficient the system is Cap't Emad was assessed as a genuine refugee and released.
