Dear SteeleRedux,
The agreement to take assylum seekers when it was signed all those
years ago was never signed in my name, in fact I thought "why are the
silly fools signing that?" There were no boatloads of assylum
seekers coming then, but Labour and the Greens thought it looked good
to sign a treaty like this and say look aren't we good, we are going to save the world.
It was easy to sign when it was just a signature with no real assylum seekers in boats on the horizon. Their, Utopian-Save-the- World-Hippy-Zealotry, blinded them as usual, as to the actual consequences of their signing of this document. I knew it could
turn out bad. Common sense appraisal isn't something "the save-the
world-crusaders, have a lot of". Emotional feelings yes, common-sense big picture probable outcomes, No.
