belly,
Morning old son. I am sure we can have different opinions and still have a beer together, without fighting. After all we do agree on some things, like the illegals are shonks who take advantage of our good will and generosity.

You got the spelling nearly right, except the last bit. I think it is Moral Fibre and that is what Rudd lacks. He changes with the wind.
The girls here need not be concerned as, after the election, what ever happens, he will change course again. Just like he did with the Oceanic Viking. The PNG thing is only a short term measure for Rudd. He doesn't care if it costs a few million, but it may give Morrison something to improve on later.

The hide of Rudd, wanting credit for 'fixing' a problem he created.

We do know that the Libs have a record for stopping the boats coming. Which mob would you think most likely to succeed.

Josephus,
Yes that pretty much sums up my position as well, but I think 20,000 is very generous of us.

By the way, I understand there are thousands of genuine refugees in Burma who are mainly Buddists and we have not had any problems with them integrating in our society.

We should bypass those groups that have shown us they cannot or will not integrate.

Rudd seems determined to make as many mistakes as possible in as short a time as possible. He clearing the decks for the next election all right by kowtowing to the one group of people, who were never going to vote for him anyway. The first problem he created for himself was stuffing around with the carbon tax and now he has totally lost the plot with his latest stand on refugees.

By introducing an extreme policy on boat arrivals he has upset a crucial part of the electorate who under favorable circumstances would support the labour party. I don't think it is a fluke that the labour parties support has suddenly fallen back by by 2%. Considering labour's previous views on boat arrivals you would have to label them a bunch of hypocrites.

I do not pretend to know the answer to the problem of unauthorized boat arrivals but I do know that a great many Australians want both a fair and compassionate solution to the problem, at this stage neither party has come up with anything that gets close to the heart of the problem.

The idea of turning the boats back is obviously impracticable most of the boats can't even make it to Christmas island without sinking let alone make it back again to Indonesia. The PNG solution is just as impracticable. The only charitable spin you can put on it is that it is an attempt at wedge politics

The situation is under control, we are the ones who says who comes here, not the smugglers.
The boats don't make it to Xmas isl; by way of an axe.
There is always something going on in politics so lets not fear there will always be something to ramble on about.
So everybody knows what the coalitions policies are by now, even if they are a little discreet at saying anything about them. Abbott and CN get on marvelously it's all about policy sharing. How many will Palmer take from the line up in QLD and Katter what a choice. All this talk about Mr Rudd and the other bloke, there is plenty to pick from and the degree of intelligence is astounding, even here there are lots of very informative people.

Ah, so now we understand what Anti Racists mean when they talk about "diversity" being a strength, it's only a strength when it's a White community which needs to be "diversified",for everyone else it's a liability. Sending Afghans and Tamils to PNG might tend to disrupt their society and throw it's fragile economy out of whack, what's more we're told by the likes of Sean Dorney that such an influx might tend to have a negative impact on the cultural and religious life of the PNG people.
Africa for the Africans, Asia for the Asians, New Guinea for the New Guineans, White countries for EVERYBODY!.

Doog do us a favor, please use of the word fagot is a bit out there ok mate?
Any one want to tell me if Rudd is so bad, but so far out in front of Abbott, what then is Abbott.
Doog I understand you put other emphasis on using that word.
But its common use is as insulting as any word I ever heard.
PS not even happy I am not gay.
