individual,

"Poirot is staring to sound like it is a member of the illegal invasion crowd. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it wasn't actually involved in the people smuggling rort."

You are a very poor excuse for reasoned debate around here.

So now you, who trumpet your down-to-earth virtues, are now referring to fellow posters as "it".

At least you have more than one argument to fling at your opponents. You used to make do with merely calling them a "moron" - now you can refer to them as "it" as well.

Making progress.....slowly.

Sadly, I fear, too many of us are happier not knowing what (we) our government is doing, making the cloak of secrecy all the easier to throw over this matter.

If we can't see it it's not there, much like it was for the German people, or so they told us later.

We are "processing" asylum claims at sea, with the same outcome for all: "REJECTED".

At least the PNG solution did not involve this extreme prejudice.

I am absolutely disgusted.

Poirot,
You don't appear to have too much of a problem ridiculing others but when some of it is flung back at you you start sulking.
Let me ask you this. Are you capable of offering your idea of a solution the flood of so-called refugees passing through several Muslim countries only to aim for a western i.e. not yet non-muslim nation as Australia ?
Still part of this question is how would you go about preventing these people from becoming refugees in the first place. Please offer your solution, I'm not interested in more subject evading ridicule.

"Still part of this question is how would you go about preventing these people from becoming refugees in the first place."

Yeah, we march into those countries and sort them out, right? Let's get those 45 million back home where they belong.

Perhaps you secretly support Bob Brown and a one world government, Indy? All you need are bells, beads, incense, brown rice, crystals and mung beans, and a ban the bomb placard.

Good grief.

individual,

I have no idea what the solution is.

Displacement of humanity is part of the human condition - always has been.

This thread is ostensibly about the secrecy and hypocrisy surrounding Morrison's new regime.

That's what I've been addressing.

All you need are bells, beads, incense, brown rice, crystals and mung beans, and a ban the bomb placard.
Lucidarse,
Your degree of intelligence is simply mind-boggling. Why they didn't get you instead of Julia Gillard is beyond understanding.
