One of the lunatics driving this whole affair is the Immigration Minister Scott Morrison. Check this fruit cake out.
Scott Morrison, the Minister for Immigration is an evangelical Christian with a background in the Assembly’s of God Church. For some time he attended the church known as Hillsong (Oh! my god); the largest church in Australia. As a fundamentalist Christian (Oh! my god), he is duty bound to take a literal view of Biblical events. So he would believe in the Biblical interpretation of creation (Oh! my god).
Tony Abbott is also a practicing Christian who at one stage in his life took it seriously enough to want to follow his Lord and master as a Priest (Oh! my god). He is a friend of the highest-ranking catholic in Australia, Cardinal George Pell (Oh! my god). An aside: Incidentally, Cardinal Pell has been recruited by the new Pope to help clean up the worldwide pedophilia crisis in the church. This is strange because he has not been able to do that in his own country. If fact many people say, he is part of the problem.
Abbott has never been afraid to mix his religious beliefs with his politics and his public comments on gay marriage, abortion and the place of women in society attest to that.
These are truly a strange pair when it comes to asylum seekers considering their so called christian values.

@Suseonline

Susie's post shows just how low, scurrilous and totally wrong headed the pro-asylum scammers lobby is.

She comes up with this little pitch : "This is from the official Parliament Of Australia website"

We are meant to fall back in awe and say something like "Golly gee if it is from the *official Parliament Of Australia website* it must be the final word on it, ay!"

The reality is it is a propaganda piece from a asylum seekers lobby group that has been lodged with the parliament library but not produced or endorsed by it--NOTE SHE DOES NOT SUPPLY THE LINK!

It is regularly and religiously reprinted on ABC sites, SBS sites, and the Refugee Council of Australia sites under the misleading heading "Ten Myths About Asylum Seekers" and is an hodgepodge of lies and half truths.


But what is really significant and intriguing is why people like Susie persist in such misrepresentation?
Why they are so intent on promoting one of the biggest baddest scams around --asylum scamming?

Now that the monsoons have arrived no boats will come via Java, people will now travel via Torres Strait under the cover of the monsoonal weather. The west coast of Cape York Peninsula needs to be watched now. Instead of sheltering at Thursday Island the Customs boats should hang around in the western Gulf. I recall one fisherman tell a few years ago that he saw a big boat sail south very close to the coast in a heavy squall & the next day when it was fine nothing was seen. he assumed that once the people got ashore they scuttled the boat.

Banjo tell me why has Abbott not told us what boat people have come and other things we once heard instantly?
Why has our Medea not got some one on Christmas Island reporting these events.
Why govern, EVER by stealth.
And if you do not have answers for those questions remember this.
*It is not the welded on supporters who return ANY government to power*
As the polls are repeatedly telling us it is those who actually think before voting.
Remember too, many tend to forget, I too want an end to the boats a total and forever end.
IF we ever get a government with the guts to tell us the costs bought about by boat people.
Highlighting Welfare costs and length of time receiving it the country too will demand it end.
Danger of a government WANTING to hide its actions can not be ignored it is undemocratic Banjo!

Errr Belly,
you have not heard about the boats because there are none to hear about !

Anyway, today is Friday so maybe there will be something today.

I just heard on the news a moment ago that Indonesia now views providing life boats as just another form of people smuggling. That's a bit rich. On the other hand why doesn't Indonesia follow Australia's policy of turning back the people that arrive there to stop over on their way to Australia ? Is it because they're all Muslims that they get facilitated rather than turned back ? If a westerner rolled up there in the same fashion they'd be locked up & made to pay big money to get out again. Why not facilitate everyone, why only Muslims ? Doesn't need Einstein to work that out. The facilitation of the boat people is a vital part in the agenda that so many silly Australians don't comprehend. The smart ones do.
