Well good for you Paul, but please remember, when we see more cut backs in our local services, or increases in what we pay for services just remember this issue.

While im not racist, I can't imagine the reception I woukd receive should I lob on thir doorstep with my extended family, with no papers.

This is sadly a religious war that has gone on for centuries and will sadly go on for centuries to follow. If we want to rid the world of the likes of ISIS, the opportunity has past with the influx of extremist we, and other nations allowed into our countries.

Welcome to world war three people as it's started without a shot being fired. Economic strangulation is the latest weapon of mass distruction.

Dear Rehctub,

I wish that I could give you a big hug and
re-assure you that your fears are really
unwarranted. That everything will be allright.
The following link provides some information that
may help appease your concerns. It shows that
Australia takes in such a small amount of refugees,
compared to developing countries - that we really
have nothing to be concerned about. Anyway I hope
this will help you:

The real cost of saddling ourselves with the totally unnecessary burden of 12,000 mainly useless people has settled at 1 billion dollars at a time when our economy is hopeless, and the same stupid politicians who buckled to European and UN pressure were telling us that they would have to put up taxes. (To cover their other reckless and unnecessary spending). The worst single urger and Liberal bleeding heart (apart from federal backbench drones nobody has heard of), Premier Baird, has been pushing for an icrease in the GST for some time - the inconsistent, two-faced oik.

Oh for a political party with courage and concern for Australia and Australians; people with the sense to know that Australia is not what is by luck; it is because we are the exact opposite of those people wanting to leave countries they have ruined or never developed because they are not like us.

Foxy I too am a tax payer. I pay my own income tax, I work for free for the other tax payers by way of collecting GST for them and I work for free calculating and paying wages, taxes and super for my staff, with the taxes being part of the consolidated revenue you are wanting to spend, I also pay more in taxes than I draw out. So no, I reject your claim that as a tax payer you have the right to lobby government to spend our taxes on external matters, unless of cause you are one of the 20odd percent who actually pay positive taxes.

By all means be entitled to your vote, but unless you are in the 20% bracket, then I'm afraid you are in fact trying to spend other people's money.

Dear Rehctub,

If you object so strongly to your elected government
allocating financial aid to the current refugee crisis,
then you are within your rights to refuse to pay your
share of taxes. But of course be prepared to face the
consequences. Of course your can always stand in front
of Parliament House and protest - or work towards
removing the current government.

"… increased effort by Australia in assisting with the humanitarian crises unfolding in Europe. "

The biggest humanitarian crisis unfolding in europe is packs of Muslim refugees and immigrants in Sweden raping white women, and no-one dares talk about it because racism.
