Foxy,
Do you honestly believe that the assessment system is free from corruption and manipulation? If you do you must believe in those little green me at the bottom of my garden.

Belly,

The "inside" information is available in most newspapers, as it has always been. One does not need a daily ministerial briefing to realize that an illegal boat has arrived.

Chris Bowen (former Labor minister for illegal immigration) obviously misses his daily communique to announce labor failure, and is now daily giving news conferences demanding daily news conferences from the government.

As for the Indonesian boat with an Indonesian crew and non Australian passengers that sank in Indonesian waters, why do you want a news bulletin from the Australian government?

Foxy,

As per my post above, it looks as though the boats are stopping.

PS how does the crow you are eating taste?

SM,

"....One does not need a daily ministerial briefing to realize that an illegal boat has arrived."

Why did Morrison shriek so often whenever they turned up. He even put it up and had it driven around the suburbs.

You have as much credibility on this issue as the hypocritical cretins in government.

Which amounts to zero.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Actually the boats have not stopped coming at all.
According to the last known count there's been
seven at least since the Coalition has come into
government and with the numbers on each boat
totalling in the hundreds that does not tally with
your given count. And who knows how many have arrived
since. (Not allowed to talk about it - its a secret).

As for my eating "crow?" You wish. I'm simply amused
by the BS you're spreading so thickly and no one's
buying it. Before long the voters will also catch
up to exactly what it is they've voted in.

Dear Chris,

Of course there will be always be people who will
try to get around the "system."
We all know that. But that doesn't mean that the
government should stop doing its job or with hold
critical information - which is the general theme of
the new Coalition government.

We need to face the challenges before us and hold our
leaders to account - not close our eyes and believe in
fairies (or in this case slogans).

Shadow

To adapt Belly's words in a previous post (above)

"[Shadow] keep up the good work.
Those targeting you give evidence the words are making an impact."
