I wonder if the progressives give xtra points at uni for learning how to self harm in order to attract maximum attention.

But they aint "refugees" are they --that's the *pretext*!

Dear Banjo,

You back again with this claptrap?

Here you go mate.

“Asylum seekers who arrive in Australia by boat are not acting illegally. The UN Refugee Convention (to which Australia is a signatory) recognises that refugees have a lawful right to enter a country for the purposes of seeking asylum, regardless of how they arrive or whether they hold valid travel or identity documents. The Convention stipulates that what would usually be considered as illegal actions (e.g. entering a country without a visa) should not be treated as illegal if a person is seeking asylum. In line with our obligations under the Convention, Australian law also permits unauthorised entry into Australia for the purposes of seeking asylum. Asylum seekers do not break any Australian laws simply by arriving on boats or without authorisation. This means that it is incorrect to refer to asylum seekers who arrive without authorisation as “illegal” entrants, as they in fact have a lawful right to enter Australia to seek asylum.”

ROFLMAO X 100

The Refugee Council (like SBS) depends on the continued inflow of asylum scammers!

What a joke!

Steel you conveniently forget these illegals go through several countries before trying to land here. They have a safe haven but they want our welfare and money that's the nub of it.
I find it particularly distressing when they rock up in Burkas, which are totally inappropriate in Australia after going through half a dozen muslim countries. They land here an address women without burkas as "Uncovered meat".
Mate you must be a latte sipper who will only meet the muslin professional. I suggest you poll a few housing commission estates.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Why then did Mr Abbott once he became PM -
on his first visit to Malaysia, find a need to apologise to
Malaysia, for being against the Malaysian Solution
when in Opposition?
