Dear Shadow Minister and Bazz,

Thank You for your civil responses.

As I stated earlier - I am not a lawyer
so I don't know all the ins and outs involved.

However, Bazz's suggestion to wait and see what
develops is an excellent one.
We'll all see the results and outcomes soon enough.

Hi there POIROT...

Why don't you acquaint yourself with exactly what's going on across our borders ? Your hatred of the LNP is so palpable I reckon you'd vote for Mussolini himself as Labour leader, if you thought he'd unseat 'shambolic' Tony ABBOTT ? A vile comment ? Perhaps ? A figure of speech more likely.

I regularly booze on with an ex colleague of mine, who's part of a national intel. group, and some of the suspicions and misgivings they've got, concerning some future incursions, if true are very worrying indeed ? True, they're only suspicions at the moment, still ?

Your remarks concerning your repugnance for me, and my obvious intransigent attitude in this matter ? Well it's very well founded you can believe that, therefore I'll not for a moment resile from that hard line, regardless of what people may think of me at this time.

As you've now distinguished me, as 'Mr Faux civility' ? Well it's your call I suppose POIROT ? Still I'd much rather rest comfortably in this, my (alleged) brutish and sadistic character, than to be so totally devoured in a 'haze of hatred' for just one ordinary political party and it's leader, than to be completely consumed by every single word, every decision, or statement that emanates from them or their spokesperson ?

Personally POIROT, I couldn't bear to exist in such a volatile state of enmity or execration toward anyone or anything, for that reason I feel very sorry for you.

"We'll all see the results and outcomes soon enough."

Some Indonesian officials are currently complaining that they haven't received their share like the boat-crew.
If they haven't received it yet then they will receive it soon and the story will be closed.

Well if, as suggested, the Labour Government had also paid people smugglers to return refugees back to port, would all the Liberal-lovers on this forum still think it is all such a great idea?

Hi there STEELEREDUX...

Mate when you put a question, it's a question ? To answer you I don't know ? If you're implying, by your 'snouts in the trough' inference, well obviously you've already made up your mind, therefore anything I could add would be moot ?

As I've stated ad nauseam, I did over 32 years in the job, therefore one might extrapolate that as 'having my snout in the proverbial trough as well ? I've a comfortable super pension, augmented by a DVA War pension of 100% (non taxable) so yeah, my snout's quite content thank you ? Oh by the way, I paid into my super, as all government employees are required to do, but you already know that don't you, just forgot ?

Your student with a enviable work record, is really not that unusual. My experience with Asians per se. They're a demographic well used to working hard, except those of course who don't ? Asian criminals are both well organised and hard to penetrate, still that's not your precise point - Asian people generally, are very hard working and dependable employees, and that includes their academic pursuits as well. Your student is in no way remarkable, other than the personal sacrifices he (and his wife?) was prepared to make to help put his child through a good education, and by establishing his own permanency in his adopted country by way of owning a house. A marvellous addition to this nation I would've thought.

Apropos your initial enquiry. Higher than average instances of police on sick report, or those seeking early retirement, the reasons for which are complex, and often further complicated by those in the command structure, who've forgotten what life's like at the workface ? NSW is no different to any other State force. I can't speak for the Feds ? There's an old saying, you wear your body armour 'in reverse' ? Sounds stupid, it's not !

Susie,
I don't think anyone would be keen to sup with the devil.
However if it has saved Australia some $million in processing or
accommodation at Nauru or somewhere then it is worth it.
It certainly is not illegal.
How come we only now hear that the Labour Government paid out ?

Could it be that was for security reasons ?
