In the end, have no doubt, Rechtubs words probably see more voters flee the Libs than come.
I wish it was possible to put them in neon lights ten feet high in every City.

Dream on Belly, it's about the only thing that's left that's free amd doesn't require cuts to the budget to implement.

So enjoy!

Talking to an Afghan refugee the other day, he reckons, from talking to other Afghans who all agree, that when the foreign forces withdraw from Afghanistan and the Taliban take over, which will take about 5 minutes, it will be a case of "you ain't seen nothin' yet" when it comes to asylum-seekers.

It might even have got to the stage where no legal or policy change will stop them.

Shadow Minister "What planet have you been on? These have been mentioned hundreds of times."

I didn't ask you the question Shadow Minister. I realise I have never been on the same planet as you...thank goodness.

Did you read rechtub's answer?
I tend to believe someone who explains it quite plainly, as opposed to someone who is being rude.
If you want to speak to me like that, you really should get me a chew toy...

Joy! that I think must be the feeling of a very hungry spider after a fly stumbles in to its web.
Rechtub.
Any observer of politics understands with no room for doubt Abbott,s intentions if he wins.
Is to cut, just about every thing.
You in throwing that at me, seem unable to know that it is true.
And the depth of your understanding should, like me, know the election is on a knifes edge.
Considering my view just a month ago? I have every right to my happy view.
And it must have shocked you, to see the coin on the foot path turn and run as you nearly had it in your pocket..

"Fiji's Foreign Minister Ratu Inoke Kubuabola has accused Australia of using its economic muscle to persuade PNG to accept thousands of people who are not Pacific Islanders into its country."

Mr Kuuabola makes a good point about Australia thinking it can use poor third world countries in the region as a dumping group for asylum seekers.

The 7.30 Report last night covered the situation on Manus Island as far as the locals are concerned. It would seem someone thinks its okay to turn the place into a rubbish dump.

MOAT JOHNLOW, VILLAGER (voiceover translation): We get lots of blowflies and the rubbish affects our environment that we use to grow sago.

LIAM FOX: This is where waste from the processing centre is dumped. Flies fill the air. Maggots cover the ground. The stench is indescribable.

MOAT JOHNLOW (voiceover translation): When we're eating our dinner, the flies come and disturb us. When we catch fish and leave them outside before we cook, the flies spoil them and we have to throw them away.

LIAM FOX: Countless thousands of plastic water bottles, plates, knives and forks have been left in the open, along with everything from rotting food to bed linen. Local villagers have asked for the rubbish to be buried or burned.

MOAT JOHNLOW (voiceover translation): They don't care. They don't care.

Would we tolerate this in the middle of Sydney?

It is interesting that little regard is being given to the feelings of the local PNG population on this. Maybe Mr Kubuabola is right.
