Poirot - It seems you missed my comment, maybe you had no reply to your deceit.

You pasted from 2 different quotes implying it was from 1, this suited your bias. so here is the 1st quote for you again.

"These are the more extreme examples, but I continued to get the impression that many of these people were not genuine refugees."

You quoted part of the above and tried to link it too the 2nd quote.

Quote "But I soon went from dealing with mostly human misery to human demands." She made the 2nd quote before the first.

So after being with them she realized "that many of these people were not genuine refugees."

Try putting in the quote in its entirety rather than break it up so it suites your bias.

Here's another thought -
now that the current government has
decided to cut our foreign aid (and increase our
military budget). Foreign aid contributes to
foreign countries being stable and well governed
and that in turn means we're less likely to be
adversely affected by their problems - like refugees.
(Our military budget could be decreased).

And as one writer on the web put it:

"Actually - there seems to be quite an irony that a party
that complains about the burden of refugees to our
country increasing the likelihood of an increase in
global numbers of refugees." With a cut in foreign aid.

Don't be silly Foxy, much of the money being spent with the smugglers is syphoned off Oz foreign aid money. A cut in foreign aid will mean less gate crashers arriving in boats.

What the hell did you think they used it for.

Surely - even in the eyes of the diehard Fortress Australian - there should be a big difference between asking for something, and actually getting it?

All these types of cosmetic surgery would require the applicant to be covered by private health insurance. And you can't get that until you have a Medicare number, and have paid your premiums to the insurance company for a full year.

Naturally, the requests were politely refused, as the doctor herself reported.

"She also said she refused the requests. 'We give [the asylum seekers] the health services they need, we do not give them the services they want,' Dr Yoong said."

But a beat-up is a beat-up, I suppose. Alan Jones wouldn't have an audience if it weren't for a continuous stream of stories like this one. No genuine issue, just a load of hot air.

Pericles - Quote "a beat-up is a beat-up" THAT can be converted to "the truth - is the truth"

Now if you know she was not telling the truth or her words were changed for the story that would be a beat-up.

So what proof do you have this is a beat-up as you state.

To Quote you "No genuine issue, just a load of hot air."

50,000 arriving during Labor it is NOT hot air it equals BILLIONS of taxpayers dollars each year.
