Abbott has now got ideas of militarizing the boaters problem now. He has not only got PNG offside now it's Indonesia as well.

SPQR,

You might be interested in Abbott's campaign poster earmarked for the final week of the election.

Also a big fat denial from General David Hurley that he provided advice or recommendations to Abbott.

Belly,

It must pain you to see Kevin Dudd's policies on the run start to unravel almost immediately. Dudd's PNG solution is starting to look awfully like Juliar's East Timor solution.

Notably the defence force has now indicated that it will execute the tow back policy.

Yes doog, of cause we can always just sit back, assist them with their invasion and wait until they turn up armed.

Someone has to stamp some authority on this matter once and for all, because let's face it, labor prefer to talk about the problem sitting around sipping tea face to face.

The message should be loud and clear, stop the boats leaving your shores, or we will.

The time for talk is over.

SM,

I jut read a tweet which sums it up beautifully, re the Opposition playing catch-up to Rudd's putrid idea.

"Fair dinkum, if the ALP proposed eating asylum seekers as a solution, the LNP would publish a cookbook."

Spot on!
