I see Car is still chattering away now giving advice to the government on how to handle the current Indonesian problem.
Doesn't he know the is, was, and always will be a has-been and a nobody.
Go away you despicable man who couldn't even capture a good Aussie girl.

Dear Shadow Minister,,

We unfortunately don't know many results of the
current government's action because they're a
secret. So I'm afraid your arguments simply
don't wash or hold very much credibility.
But keep on telling us how wonderful they are.
Fortunately people are now beginning to question
the simplistic rehearsed rhetoric, and blaming
the past is beginning to wear a bit thin.

Foxy, "We unfortunately don't know many results of the current government's action because they're a secret"

You are only saying that to sledge a government you don't like.

You are aware of the logistical reasons for not making a media circus out of the progress of the boats at sea and possible arrivals. For starters it gives the criminals much-needed intelligence and they use it to demand payments and to promote their 'travel' packages to others.

Regrettably, yet again you show no empathy for the people whose lives are risked by the criminal gangs involved in people smuggling.

otb,

No, again your accusations and assumptions are wrong.
I am not as you put it -" sledging a government
I don't like".

Unlike you I am not stirring, attacking,
et cetera. I am simply stating facts that the
current government is
not being transparent or accountable, which they said
they would be before the election. And
the excuses that they give for not answering
questions in Parliament don't add up because
the questions that are being asked are not a threat
to any of their "operational" involvements.

Australians do not want or need "government by
stealth." That goes against democratic traditions
and is the beginning of an authoritarian system.
And that should be a concern to us all.

And I am not alone in being concerned:

Well, that is a big wobbly for a start. You, Old Tin of Fruit Poirot and a few others were foaming at the mouth even before the new government members visited the GG to be appointed.

You need not have worried, 'Wonderful Centrelink' has not closed, and the victim industries and multiculturalism that constantly bleed taxpayers white haven't been disturbed.

The first concern here though is that take the moral podium as a 'do gooder', but you show no empathy for the people whose lives are risked by the criminal gangs involved in people smuggling.
