Don't be ridiculous Rehctub, where has anyone been asked to billet anyone?
You are being hysterical now.
Mind you, I would sooner agree to billet someone than start shooting innocent people at the borders...

Well one day Suze we are going to have to make such a choice because we are now seeing the result of the do gooders decades of intervention whereby they have encouraged these people to mass breed without any prospects for their offspring.

Personally I think wolrld war three has started, it just hasn't got violent yet, but give it time.

Yes Rehctub I too am sometimes fearful of a Third World War, but I never imagined that would come from the many refugees flocking into Europe.
I thought maybe Russia, China or North Korea may cause some issues, with their obvious military power and sheer numbers of military personnel?

In any case, I am devastated by the photo of that little drowned Syrian boy on the beach, and even more upset that both Abbott and Shorten used that photo to try and win brownie points with the electorate.

Shorten crows that his government would take in more refugees...which still doesn't help what is happening in Europe right now.

Abbott gloats how he is now happy he 'stopped the boats' because isn't he much cleverer than all those other leaders of the stricken countries in Europe. Of course, there isn't an awful Syrian war and African civil wars going on just across a small ocean from us is there?

I would suggest that if Syria was located in Indonesia we would have the very same problem as Europe because there is no way we could ever stop all those boats, nor could we arrange to 'send them all back' to the dreadful war they are fleeing from.
What a tool both our political leaders are!

Suze, the sad reality is that the world is now too smaller place and many people are going to be displaced. The unknown factor is whether or not countries are going to allow these people in, or if they are going to use force to repel them and if they do, the any retaliation by these people would then be world war three.

Another sad fact is that at some point, hopefully not in our time, leaders will have the most awful choice to make as to whether to commit another kull just like Hitler did because like it or not, there are two things that will most definitely happen, one being these people will not stop breeding and the other being countries will be unable to assist.

I just hope I'm gone before such a situation presents itself.

No there isn't.
So why the hell are we getting ANY boat people at all?

Look at Australia on Google Earth.
We're almost alone on our "side" of the planet.

Pray Indonesia doesn't fall apart or we're in real trouble!

There is a crunch coming sooner than many realise.
One of the early effects will be a significant rise in food prices
and remember what that did to Mubarik in Egypt.

The drought in Syria has added to the problem with IS.
It is about time that our politicians, especially the greens take
notice of what they are being told about energy and tell the
economists to be quiet and listen.
Some government organisations, the NRMA and others are warning them
but the news is too uncomfortable firstly to believe and then to tell
the public. We have wasted the last ten year breather that we got
so we now have left it too late.
We can no longer afford nuclear power, high speed trains universal
gb byte internet etc. When we go into recession the cuts will be so
severe I just wonder if we will be able to borrow the money to pay
our interest bill as we do now.

In those conditions what effect would a few hundred thousand immigrants arriving have ?
Just watch Germany that will tell you.
Then there is Egypt, it has 45 million more people than the Nile can feed !
