SM,

Talking of ignorance your argument beggars belief.

That's like saying that Mugabe, Pol Pot, et al, were
not as bad as Stalin and Hitler.

Keep defending your Party's stance on this matter.
If you take pride in siding with China, Cuba,
Russia - instead of our allies, Great Britain, US,
Canada. Then I certainly don't. I suspect that Sir
Rober Menzies would turn over in his grave over your
arguments.

And I know which one of us he would consider to be
the ignorant one!

Yes Shadow Minister, & he should be given the guts award for doing what had to be done decisively & with conviction. The only thing worse than the disgusting Rudd's effort would for Abbott to have been half hearted in fixing the mess.

Interesting Poirot, that these jumped up judges should think they have any say in the matter. When did they get the idea they have any jurisdiction in a foreign country. I would expect the PNG government to say, see you in the international court in the Hague.

Do you think our peanuts in the high court would actually fund a case in the Hague from their own pocket. Not the sort of activity I see them indulging in, from previous actions. Getting on their high horse is about all they are good for.

It would be a better idea if they were to take off their clownish wigs & fancy dress, & try to join the rest of us in the real world, but that is most unlikely from such a bunch of clowns.

It was Australia's hand that put them there, that could be the problem, in any case you accepted the ruling on Malaysia and would not vote for legislation to overrule the ruling.
So i hope what goes around comes around.

You are a hoot!

"...I would expect the PNG government to say, see you in the international court in the Hague."

Bring it on!

Every time I see Morrison, I picture that setting exactly....

The sooner the government stop spending our taxpayers funds on giving illegals access to the 'ambulance chaser' lawyers the better. Whoever first thought up giving these non citizens free legal representation was a bloody fool. Only Aus citizens should be able to get legal representation with our funds.

The Malaysian deal was different in that we were to just drop the illegals there. On Manus, we run the centre and do the processing.

The same applies to Nauru. But I do think the processing could be much tougher and the onus of proof put back on the illegal entrant

My suggestion of using Macquarie Island, looks better each day

Foxy,
Whether you/we like it or not what happens in other countries is really none of our business and if these elements try to get into our country they should be repelled and sent home.
These people (Sri Lanka) are being rounded up because they were anti government terrorists, nothing more and nothing less.
The government has the right to deal with them however they choose. They had their chance to change the government and failed now they must pay the price.
Having them come here under the guise of refugees and asylum seekers is a load of hogwash,
Don't bleed for them Foxy I am sure they would not for you.
As for the rest of these so called asylum seekers let them fight against what they see as tyranny in their own country not here.
Beforte these people came to Australia we had one of the lowest and least violent crime rate in the world.
Now, thanks to multiculturalism racist agendas we have close to the highest per capita.
