Foxy,

There are lots of people churning out spin at the taxpayer's expense.

That JP provides references does not change the fact that much of what she says is based on her opinion and not the facts. Such as:

That illegal boat arrivals displace those that have legally applied for asylum outside the country is a fact. That these new comers displace legitimate refugees qualifies them to be called queue jumpers.

And these que jumpers came from the que in Malaysia, and that is where they should be returned to.

<<Janet Phillips... does not mislead or give out false information>>

Oh yes she does --here's one example:

She asks (Dorothy Dix like]<< Are boat arrivals ‘genuine refugees’?>>

And then answers herself [Lexi like] [yes because]

<<between 70 and 97 per cent of asylum seekers arriving by boat at different times have been found to be refugees and granted protection either in Australia>>



Even Bob Carr woke up to that MISREPRESENTATION --Janet & co still see fit to peddle it.

And her puff piece is riddled with similar.

That is the inconvenient truth isn't it? That the previous Labor government tried to conceal and bluff its way out, but even strong lefties Carr and ors finally blew the gaff on the scam of economic migrants being let through as refugees.

No 579, Indonesia let them in, planning to make a profit from them, charging them a fortune to ride a clapped out old boat to Oz.

They are the ones who must get them back, & do what ever the hell they like with them after that. Not our problem, or interest, that is, unless you are a traitor to our youth.

The boaters are recruited in Malaysia. You surmise indonesia gets something out of this, prove that. The traffickers are the ones to profit. The chances are Indonesia don't know they are in the country.
No doubt the traffickers have recruited persons to smuggle people from Malaysia to Indonesia. The same as they recruit people to take the illegals on boats to au.
