Australia would not want to be giving citizenship to criminals who cost taxpayers $60,000,000 in burning down their housing would we? Obviously they are not civilized humans.

Paul,

I support Abbott for his policies and ideas which are not influenced by his beliefs. If I were to follow your idiotic line of thought, I would claim that because Bob Brown is a raging queen, that all greens are fairies or dykes, and support gay marriage for personal reasons.

I support women's right to terminate pregnancy, gay marriage and many issues that many in even labor don't, and have done so in threads in which you have participated.

Secondly, as reported on the ABC, one the main reasons that women and children were removed was due to insect borne tropical diseases particularly dangerous for young children, not just the accommodation. Perhaps you could disseminate this to the dull witted greens and Laborites.

KRudd's PNG solution is yet another poorly planned labor policy on the run for mainly political reasons. That most of the advertising is to Australians, not potential illegal immigrants shows the target audience. Already the implementation of this is starting to unravel in a manner typical of all labor policies.

SM,

Yes, "implementation" is the key word here.

I expect this will turn into a "conditions" disaster not too far down the track.

(Not that that would bother most of the "get-them-outa-here" brigade)

If you're interested in primary sources, here's the "Agreement".

Re: <<Please go easy on SM, all his "news" comes from Uncle Rupert's fish wrapper. Its his job to pass it on to the rest of the "knuckle draggers" ....waffle waffle waffle...>>

Paul, I can do no better that repeat what Houellebecq said on another thread: << Paul1405, you sound discombobulated>>

Do all Greens suffer from the same condition or is it something unique to you?

LOL

P,

Thanks for the link. Though I am staggered by the complete lack of detail, and am sure I could do better on the back of a cigarette box.

Clauses 7,8,9 gives PNG a blank cheque for an open ended period, and clause 4 abrogates Australia from any responsibility (except financial) for running the place and refugee assessment and assigns it to PNG.

I assume this is because of PNG's superior organisational ability compared to labor.

Poirot, "Yeah, we wouldn't want to send the more vulnerable refugees until we had 'facilities' set up"

They are doing way better than the luckless old in Australia's aged care facilities. Every time abuses are reported, instances being bed sores, starvation diets and being left in faeces all day, the media and government display short term memory loss for the regularity of similar reports before. Also, the government's own auditor, the Australian National Audit Office has previously reported to Parliament on all of that so many times over.

They are doing much better than the seniors who shop for catfood and are afraid to use power they cannot afford, and the homeless and the working poor.

The Greens Protest Party gets headlines out of activism and tears for illegal immigrants who choose to put themselves at danger to blackmail government into capitulating to their demands. The Greens don't shed tears for the aged. The Greens do propose euthanasia and death duties for them though. Soylent Greens.
