Best be careful fellas, Abbott does not want them stopped, not just yet.
Not that the answers are other than heated simplistic and will not work.
A regional one may.
We here at least, tend to forget it is a world wide problem.
Just maybe Rudd is about to announce true reform of the UNHCR Charter.

Something many voters will never forget, is that whaever rud comes up with, at the very best, it will only ever be in an attempt to fix the problem HE CAUSED.

This is one monkey he will never be able to remove from his back, and even if by some miracle, he comes up with a solution in the next few weeks, no solution will ever recoup the billions of dollars, OF OUR MONEY that has been wasted on this, nor will he ever be able to bring back the hundreds of lost lives that he, through his arrogant stupidity, contributed to.

He should be reminded of this every single day.

<<REGIONAL SOLUTION>> <<REGIONAL CO-OPERATION>> are weasel words.

Talking of regional solutions or co-operation when you have regional partners like Indonesia and Malaysia is like hype-talking about a rowing team, where half the "rowers" only want to sit on their hands and enjoy the scenery

Abbott wouldn't vote for the Malaysia solution. We do know why.

Doog,

<<Abbott wouldn't vote for the Malaysia solution. We do know why>>

Can I play the Malaysian Solution game with you?

I'll give you ONE dollar and you give me FOUR.
And we'll keep playing till one of us gives-up or runs out of money--want to play?

Board the boats.
removed all fuel except enough to get back the Indonesia.
Tow the boats back to Indonesian waters.
Record where and when you towed them to.
Release them and return to international waters.
The captains then have three choices;
1 Use what fuel they have to get back to Indonesia.
2 Drift to Australia.
3 Sink the boats and drown the refugees.

I know what I'd be doing if I were a Captain.
