Suseonline needs a reminder of where we were at with the previous Labor government and their Greens sidekicks,

Suseonline,
Those are not seagulls on the roofs of the tiled buildings they set fire to.

They certainly don't look like women and children,

Australians are never going to be stood over by international criminal gangs operating their profitable people smuggling and Australians are not going to relinquish control of their borders or bow to thugs who burn their taxpayer-funded accommodation and facilities to get their own way.

You have a very short memory of the Rudd and Gillard days. Gillard was in despair trying to cope with the mess left by Rudd's demolition of Howard's Pacific Solution and her Greens side-kicks were no help at all. Remember what callous Greens SHY said about those drowning at sea?

And now it's Spindoc. I don't agree with the approach of either Foxy, Suseonline or Poirot but at least they bring some feelings to the table. SteeleRedux's psychobabble about OTB doesn't bring in anything at all. Could we go one step further and enter the world of history-based reasoning and evaluation of an explosion of refugees hammering in the doors of the civilised (i.e. Enlightenment-based, non-theocratic, non-tribal) world including Australia? We need real policies, not just hate-fests like the LNP/ALP duopoly or emotion-fests like Sarah Hansen-Young who are all about what migration policy shouldn't be but not about what it should be (too hard?).

Sorry, the links again,

Dear Spindoc,

Seeing as you're still into nursery tales.
Here's another one to add to your collection:

As soon as Wolf began to feel
That he would like a decent meal
He went and knocked on Grandma's door
When Grandma opened it, she saw
The sharp white teeth, the horrid grin
And Wolfie said, 'May I come in?'
Poor Grandmamma was terrified
"He's going to eat me up!" she cried

And she was absolutely right
He ate her up in one big bite
But Grandmamma was small and tough
And Wolfie wailed, "That's not enough!
I haven't yet begun to feel
That I have had a decent meal!"

He ran around the kitchen yelping
"I've got to have another helping!"
Then added with a frightful leer
"I'm therefore going to wait right here
Till Little Miss Red Riding Hood
Comes home from walking in the wood"

He quickly put on Grandma's clothes
(Of course he hadn't eaten those)
He dressed himself in coat and hat
He put on shoes and after that
He even brushed and curled his hair
Then sat himself in Grandma's chair

In came the little girl in red
She stopped. She stared. And then she said
"What great big ears you have, Grandma,"
"All the better to hear you with," the Wolf replied
"What great big eyes you have, Grandma,"
said Little Red Riding Hood
"All the better to see you with," the Wolf replied.

He sat there watching her and smiled
He thought I'm going to eat this child
Compared with her old Grandmamma
She's going to taste like caviar

Then Little Red Riding Hood said, "But Grandma
what a lovely great big furry coat you have on"

cont'd ...

cont'd ...

Dear Spindoc,

"What's wrong!" cried Wolf "Have you forgot
To tell me what BIG TEETH I've got?
Ah well, no matter what you say,
I'm going to eat you anyway"

The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers
She whips a pistol from her knickers
She aims it at the creature's head
And bang bang bang, she shoots him dead
A few weeks later, in the wood
I came across Miss Riding Hood
But what a change! No cloak of red,
No silly hood upon her head
She said, "Hello, and do please note
My lovely furry WOLFSKIN COAT."

Dear Emperor Julian,

The following website might be of interest to you.
The Refugee Council of Australia has some very
interesting recommendations to solving the problem.

and gives community views on current challenges and future
directions.
