Foxy,
All you ever come up with are links that tell us what the Left wants us to hear. Don't you have anything constructive such as ideas as to how to overcome the Labor mess ?

Foxy, I cant see how you can say the asylum seeker issue is not Rudds fault, as the problem clearly didn't exist before K Rudd came to town. To suggest anything else is a total denial of facts.

Every cent, or should I say, every Billion Dollars spent on this debacle is one, borrowed money, and two, money that would make life so much more enjoyable for the likes of our elderly, our sick and our kids, as they are being denied basics while Rudd, the creator of this mess live it up on tax payers money FOR LIFE!

Its a joke beyond all proportions and there should be a legal challenge by the tax payers to have his life long support pension cancelled.

Mikk, there wouldn't be a human rights issue if the measures Howard put in place had not been dismantled.

‘morning Foxy,

Reading your posts reminds me of the man who claimed he could teach a Donkey anything. A reporter from the Animal Weekly turned up to cover the story and asked the Donkey trainer to demonstrate his technique.

The trainer took the reporter into the paddock, closed the gate, picked up a long piece of 4 X 2 timber, raised it above his head and brought it crashing down right between the Donkey’s ears.

Whoa! Said the reporter, how does that teach the Donkey anything? Well the trainer said, to teach a Donkey anything, first you have to get its attention!

If you could just draw yourself away from the ABC and Matilda for long enough to get your attention we could administer the solution.

Metaphorically speaking of course.

Credit where it is due here. Sending these illegals to an even worse place than where they come from is guaranteed to stop this nonsense. I think it is marvelous that these dead beats who think they are going to sponge off our taxes are stuck somewhere with no Centrelink. Watch how when they realise the pickle they are in they soon make other arrangements.
Anyone got any opposing view well whats wrong with the people from PNG apart from the fact they do not do left wing guilt trips.

Dear rehctub,

Perhaps the following link may put things into
a proper perspective for you:

Foxy - That story lacks a lot of comparable data, the numeric numbers are useless without for example the following data.

What Italy gives refugees
Three people sleep in each room. Aside from accommodations, the centres provide asylum seekers with food vouchers and legal assistance, as well as programmes for social and economic integration. Some receive a daily $2 allowance and uses it to pay for mobile internet service and basic clothing. They are allowed to work while there asylum case is reviewed, but finding a job in Italy's floundering labour market is nearly impossible for foreigners.
Asylum seekers, can live only in the assigned government centre and there freedom of movement is limited.

What Sweden gives refugees
Accommodation can be shared room and food and medical services as well as an allowance of $3.60 per day. They are allowed to work, but chances of finding a job are slim since most do not speak the local language.

What Ireland give refugees
Gives them group accommodation (like all in one housing commission building not separate house)meals and a bed nothing else they go to a different place and get 19 Euros per week spending money. They are not allowed to work. Some have waited more than 8 years to be assessed.
