Asylum Seekers For Sale! Now were are informed our very own Miss Prissy, Julie Bishop, has been sniffing around the Cambodians to see if they will take a few boat loads of refugees, a country renowned for creating refugees, not taking them in. Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in Asia, and totally undemocratic, how would they cope with an influx of asylum seekers? What next, cut a deal with North Korea!
All this Abbott government is doing with this kind of harebrained hawking of innocent people to dirt poor third world countries is disgracing Australia globally.

The Greens have rightfully called for the resignation of Morrison the Minister when it has now come to light that the trouble was inside the Manus Island gulag and not outside as Morrison had claimed. I did question earlier the roll of G4S in all this. There have been strong suspicions that G4S is running a private 'Rambo' operation and not doing the job they were originally employed to do, providing proper security.
I can fully understand how these unarmed innocent vulnerable people must feel knowing their very lives are under threat from armed aggressors, both inside and outside the camp.

What sort of reputation does Cambodia have when it comes to human rights. Maybe Malaysia doesn't look so bad.

YEBIGA,
What is this about a boat load of Brits. Racist nonsense! I have a British born friend came here at 4, been here 36 years but because he never took out citizenship and was caught twice in possession of drugs in an earlier life was to be deported. We lobbied to have him stay in Australia as all his family was in Australia. There is no racial preference as you seem to imply. We do not need criminals, but this friend had worked here as a panel beater all his working life and had reformed from selling drugs.

Don't dissimulate
A boat load of white Brits lands on a beach in the Territory. Are they sent to Nauru or Manus island?

Shaggy Dog, while I agree that change happens, one thing that never changes, is that you can only spend money once and, if your spending goes up, (welfare of all kinds) and your income does not increae (taxes collected) then at some point you are going to run out of money.

The preasure on our welfare system from this labor created mess is going to break us if the mess is not cleaned up, and to clean up, sometimes requires actions that may offend some.

However, at the end of the day, the simple solution to all this is to stop coming here.

The simple solution, remember the simple solution is costing one million every five minutes. Manus today Cambodia tomorrow malaya on wednesday.
Simple solution.
