Oh My Gawd, those that oppose the government have completely gone
round the bend. They seem to have lost all semblance of reality.
Now hear this;
LABOUR DID LOSE THE ELECTION.
Live with it !

Tony Abbot said today that there have been no boats for two weeks.
Now accept that or just throw a fit !

They seem to be going gently with Indonesia and not rub their nose in it.
Australia is in a much more perilous position than many of you realise
and from now on the amount of money the government will have to throw
around will be a lot less than you expect.

The so called prisoners we have are a very funny bunch, all they have
to do is ask and they will be given money, travel documents and an airline ticket home !

Someone raised the homeless matter, well where are those that were
released into the community living ?
From what I have read and seen they are living in houses provided.
How many homeless were offered to share with them ?

Some seem to think that on insisting on our sovereignty we are insulting Indonesia.
It now appears that Indonesia has accepted that unregistered boats
with unqualified crew loaded with undocumented passengers departing
from Indonesian ports are in fact an assault on our sovereignty.

What you are seeing is round two of the new warfare.
It is no secret, the various authorities behind it have been proud
to trumpet it.
We will overcome the "west" by the power of our womens' wombs.

Australia must maintain an orderly border protection, and Tony is doing the right thing by the Australian people and the people who trying to reach our land by boat.

The Left has gotten blood in their hands for allowing so many people died at sea.

The Labor Party has been trying to build their voting block by importing people of hostile culture into Australia.

Indonesia backs down when Australia asserts itself with reason and justification.

Job well done! Tony!

Belly,
In your last post you claimed that Abbott was governing by deception.

Where is the deception? Are you claiming that the number of illegals has not fallen by about 90%? Or that Abbott is lying when he says that there have been no boats arriving for the last 2 weeks?

You have previously agreed that the illegal entrants are shonks, con artists and gate crashers, who lie and deceive our immigration officials. So why are you not welcoming the reduction in illegal arrivals? you should be congratulating this government for its achievements in this regard. Compare it to the same period last year!

So I ask again, where is the deception? Or is it that you cannot accept the truth simply because of bias. I expected a reduction to be far more difficult and take far longer, but am pleased it is happening. I look forward to hearing of more reductions and the sooner the better.

The fewer boats that arrive, the less there is to report to a news conference. So what is the big demand for daily news releases?

To all posters ignorant of the true facts re asylum seekers.
This is from the official Parliament Of Australia website:

"Asylum seekers do not break any Australian laws simply by arriving on boats or without authorisation. Australian and international law make these allowances because it is not always safe or practicable for asylum seekers to obtain travel documents or travel through authorised channels. Refugees are, by definition, persons fleeing persecution and in most cases are being persecuted by their own government. It is often too dangerous for refugees to apply for a passport or exit visa or approach an Australian Embassy for a visa, as such actions could put their lives, and the lives of their families, at risk. Refugees may also be forced to flee with little notice due to rapidly deteriorating situations and do not have time to apply for travel documents or arrange travel through authorised channels. Permitting asylum seekers to enter a country without travel documents is similar to allowing ambulance drivers to exceed the speed limit in an emergency – the action would be ordinarily be considered illegal, but the circumstances warrant an exception.[9]"

To those who are ignorant of illegal immigrants.

They pay people smugglers big amounts of money and destroy their ID. They take the place of some of the millions waiting in Refugee Camps.

This is written to anyone who can think.

Runner, were you on all those boats and know for sure they 'destroyed' their passports etc do you?

Or are you not thinking for yourself and blaming anything and everyone else for your really obvious hatred of 'boat people'?
What did they ever do to you?
