Quite frankly most yes most, want an end to the boats.
But too most are concerned at the secrecy being used to cover what?
While we are not told just what is taking place the questions will continue.
And too the chance a scandal will emerge is there for every one to see.
Has some thing taken place that needs hiding?

Conroy, yet again, tread on his bottom lip, the day before yesterday.
Three times he repeated the wrong thought, that the Australian Government had shares in Quantas, sold them bloke a long time ago.

Foxy,

I am using the standard tactic from the conservative of repeating the facts. You are using the standard tactic from the left of ignoring them.

Paul,

Bruce sounds like decent human being, and in doing so he actively pursues a pro asylum seeker agenda. However, he suffers from the same handicap that many bleeding hearts from the left suffer, in that pursuing what he considers to be right, he ignores the unintended consequences of his agenda.

It is acknowledged even by labor, that roughly 1 in 25 making the journey in these leaky boats will die, which has led to the deaths at sea of between 1200 and 2000 in the last 5 years of Labor. To put this in perspective, if your drive to work was as dangerous, you would have about a 50% chance of surviving the first 3 weeks. Similarly, the coalition can claim to have saved about 100 lives over the last 5 months.

Bruce also suffers from another chronic ailment of the left in that he makes predictions and claims based on what he believes rather than on the hard cold facts. You only have to trawl through his older articles on OLO to realise that his predictions and analysis has been nearly 100% wrong.

Foxy have fun!
SM is chuckle worthy!
I invite those who are critical of me and my views to do one thing.
Compare them, honest now, with SM,s.
Media watch ABC you know, has given a slap to Conroy, for his child like rubbish this thread is the subject of.
Worth the grin if you want to watch on the ABC site.

Would that be the same Media Watch that excused the ABC for 'over-reaching' by 'endorsing' the reports of other news outlets. The ABC's shoddy treatment of Australia's navy, remember?

Nah, not worth a look. Media Watch is a waste of taxpayers' money that could be spent on better things.

SM,

According to the recent polls the electorate is no
longer buying into your repetition of
so called "facts." You're going to have to come
up with new tactics - like accountability and
truth versus lies. Hard as that may be for you to do.

Foxy,

The next election is 2.5 years away, the polls are not so much a reflection of voting intention as much as an unhappiness with the bitter medicine that the coalition as promised are delivering.

The coalition have already delivered on stopping the boats, and now need to get the economy back in shape. In 2.5 years the electorate will again have to choose between a rational government and a spendthrift incompetent Labor.
