How many will be too many ?
Europe is becoming one big tramp camp.
It will not be possible to feed and house all these illegals.
Senator Sara Hansen-Young is over there on the Med trying her hardest
to make the situation worse.
We were concerned about 1000 being drowned, but how many tens of thousands
will be drowned before anyone does anything.

However that is just one part of it. It would be interesting to find
out what the crime statistics have to show on these destitute or near
destitute people.
It all looks like an open invasion to me and if we had not cracked
down it is what we would be facing.

Asylum does not enter into the matter, it is irrelevant.

Foxy, you are a master at evading the substance of the question.

The quotes you cling to, to support your misconception that Europeans are more humanitarian than Australians, are not a reflection of the everyday person in the street. Just as most Australians support our current border policy, no matter how much you, Peeroh, Suse and Paul hate it, the same will be true in Italy.

Given the boats seem to have magically stopped crossing the Mediterranean, something must be happening that is effectively preventing them.

Go Google it yourself.

It will take a royal commission to see if Abbott's tactics are working or not, as we are not allowed to know. You can only imagine there is something dodgy going on, How many boats have been ordered from Vietnam to replace the ones that were not seaworthy. Cheaper than life boats apparently.

'It will take a royal commission to see if Abbott's tactics are working or not, as we are not allowed to know'

waste of money Doog. You already have the likes of Trigg making up stories to fit her narrative. She saw guns where there was no guns. Even when regressives 'know' they change what they see to fit their narrative. Look at Hanson Youngs encouragment of treachery.

runner, "You already have the likes of Trigg making up stories to fit her narrative. She saw guns where there was no guns"

That severely damaged her credibility as an independent witness.

Dear CH,

It seems to me that you're not really interested in
seeking answers but simply biting people.
Me especially.

That is not
a very attractive trait and in future it will
make me think twice about responding to any of your
questions.

I am not evading anything. I have tried to point out the
big differences that exist between Europe's treatment of
asylum seekers and the way in which our government treats
them. You seemed dissatisfied with my answers and I therefore
suggested that you Google the subject for yourself. There
are plenty of websites to choose from on the subject.

One is by Alecia Simmonds - "Four countries that treat asylum
seekers better than Australia."
Italy is one of them as it does list the differences between
Australia and Europe.

It's worth a read.

Here's another way in which Australia can better manage
refugees:
