It doesn't matter how many have drowned, who really cares? Only those making money out of it. They choose to take the risk, they pay the price. I don't care and yes I would rather be in my local Coles with a couple of hundred good white Australians than be surrounded by a crowd of Islamic who knows what.

We need to stop them leaving Indonesia in leaky boats in the first place..
Suseonline,
I'd go one earlier, don't make these people refugees in the first place. The problem is though that those who think they're doing good will fight tooth & nail not to help those people from becoming refugees by way of sending in forces. Instead they force many to their death by having them go on leaky boats. I am convinced that this is also a situation exploited by those with an agenda to come to Australia under the pretence of being refugees.
As you have admitted you don't have a solution I suggest you listen to others & refrain from criticising them for thinking of solutions. My idea is if these countries don't stop from sending their people here we need to go there & stop them. It is up to us from preventing them to get to Indonesia as refugees in the first place.

Do you think the refugees own countries send them here Individual?
Why would you say that?
Scared they are all terrorists because they aren't white?

What about the white British woman involved in the latest Kenyan shopping centre shootings? And she wasn't the only one...

I would imagine that only really scared or persecuted people would risk death by coming here on those boats ,especially those who bring their children with them.
If you were planning on coming to a country to take part in terrorist acts, would you bring your family with you?

Do you think that the hard-arse immigration staff would declare most of the boat people as genuine refugees if they weren't?
Have you seen what people have to go through to become genuine refugees?
It isn't easy...

Don't bother, Suse.

individual and his cronies aren't interested in examining why people risk their lives to flee - or any sort of reality pertaining to displacement.

They are cosy in their ideological bunker, feeding in their frenzy on fear and hysteria.

Happy rolling in the stench of their ignorance and lack of compassion.

i say good luck to the Libs. They promised to stop the boats. They put it to the people and the people voted them in, and they voted the ALP out. The ALP had 6 years and clearly failed. We need to give the Libs a little time. They look like they are taking it vary seriously. I would be very suprised if the flow of boats was not substantially reduced within 1 month ( on top of any seasonal adjustment).
Go Tony, Good job so far. Maybe we can use some of that hard earned tax dollars to help our own poor and homeless.

Since Suzi has played the race card --one of her favourite tactics

Let's have a look at the white woman "suspected" of being involved.

She is the wife of: " Germaine Lindsay, who blew himself up on a London Underground train on July 7, 2005, killing 26 people."
who incidentally was born in Jamaica and emigrated to the UK --big open hearten UK.

"Lindsay's wife... denied his involvement until authorities produced forensic evidence to confirm his identity. She later went on record stating she abhorred the attacks and that her husband's mind had been poisoned by radicals"

"She later went on record stating she abhorred the attacks"

"She later went on record stating she abhorred the attacks"

"She later went on record stating she abhorred the attacks"

Almost as credible as the Somalian "refugees" who tell Oz or the USA they are fleeing Al-Shabaab!
