Hi Cossomby (continued),

<<But if you are a poor ALP voter persecuted by the Liberals... I'll support you every inch of the way on your people smuggler boat trip for a better life in New Zealand.>>

Why New Zealand?
Why Australia?

Come-on you challenged people to play devils advocate <<I have a challenge for posters: how about playing devil's advocate occasionally?>>

why does it have to be a affluent Western country ?

I'd be with you if it was South Georgia Island

According to the ABS
Paul1405,
Don't forget to add the tens of thousands whom the public servants consult to do many of their jobs for them by using our money. *5% is not that far of the mark when you start making equities. Of course there's no Department which will tell how many of it's public servants are simply on the payroll. You have to do what I & many others do & that is to observe the letting out of contracts, observe the bureaucracy of all departments, speak to public servants who have a gut full of how taxpayers money is wasted. Go & speak to school leavers, go & speak with nursing staff, the list is as long as the public service. You'll find that 15% of public servants are so dismayed about the others that they will tell the goings on at our expense. Official figures & statements will never be accurate when there is so much wrong-doing to hide. Get out of your comfort zone & start asking questions you'll find yourself agreeing with my remarks sooner than you'd expect.

Belly,
I have always had the view that most of Australia's internal and external social problems stem from the UN charter system which uses the lure of potential employment of dumped MP's as a vehicle to "Have its way" with us.

"5% is not that far of the mark when you start making equities."
Why 5% and why are you making equities as being impartial when you are bias in the extreme. Again other than being a figment of you imagination based on your own narrow experience, and when considering the number of public servants spread all over the land your experience can be no more than narrow, so where did the figure of 85% come from. Not content with the fabrication of one figure you produce anther one of your "statistics" in the form of; "You'll find that 15% of public servants are so dismayed about the others" being the other 85%. I respect your right to hold an opinion that "(some) public (servants) (ARE) OF NO USE TO ANYONE except themselves". Like any large organisation and the public service would be no acceptation, there would be some who are lazy and incompetent but what percentage no one can say. It is most unfair of you to brand 1,500,000, the 85%, of Australian workers in this way without the slightest evidence.

Poirot, Paul 1405, Lexi, Suzieonline, csteel, cossomby, misanthrope, warmair, You potential terrorist supporters are missing the whole point. Yes, I finally made it. Australians don't want Muslims or Economic welfare chaser from Sri Lanka or anywhere else here.

Here is a some question, if the EU is anything to go by. What would you do if I gave your child a bottle of Arsenic, A detonator or a sixpenny Bunger to play with? Would you remove these items from your children's presence & if so, Why?

of course you would!

God! haven't we, on OLO, given you enough proof, time after time, that these people are a danger to Australia. They are not wanted here!

Philip S.,

Nice try.

They're all checked - and only ten percent
are found to be economic refugees.
But then you know that.

SPQR,

I'm pleased that you've found a link that you can use.
You need it - because thinking appears not to be
your strong suit.
Well done.
