If this fails so to does Abbott, at the same time saying they will keep the plan.
The man is a crank of the worst kind.
This will not go unnoticed here and will flash around the world.
Stop the boats, cut the tax, He has little to talk about, and when he does it's all crap

On the contrary, Suse.

Australia isolates it's prisoner asylum seekers from Papua New Guineans.

It has constructed a diabolical detention camp which has morphed into a hell hole which it presides over in top secret.

"In Australia, the facility couldn't even serve as a dog kennel. The owners would be jailed."

Shame.

Forward that to your friends in Indonesia, they need to know that not us.

doog,

The Indonesians didn't set up a prison camp, under-resourced, understaffed, rife with hopelessness and ensuing problems, floating about in an ill-drained quagmire on Manus Island.

Good old egalitarian, Enlightened, first-world cultured Australia did.

It's entirely our doing.

Grotesque!

Doog,

Presidential Kev loves making grandiose sweeping announcements that bear little resemblance to reality. His agreement with PNG is replete with fluffy motherhood statements with one line reference to settling illegals in PNG and another about Aus covering the costs. There is nothing on who will go, how many or when or what Aus will pay for.

We already see the aid budget moving from fixed programs to a blank cheque for the PNG government, 300 people arrive since Saturday, and women and children being excluded. What a crock.

Well the aid budget can pay for it why not. Why are you such a softy all of a sudden. I reckon they should be housed in containers. Where are the rules that say they have to be 5 star.
People that flee persecution, expect to take what comes. PNG will do their best at serving that up for them. They should not expect any different than the ordinary people of PNG. This is where they are being offered help, if that does not suite go home.
