Suze,

I did not claim that only labor and the greens were calling for the settlement of Syrian refugee, quite the contrary. Before the toddler drowned and the twitterati swung into action, the liberals were bringing in 4000 p.a. in stark comparison to the 98 brought in under the labor / green coalition. Labor is the most generous when in opposition.

Secondly I wondered who would be idiotic enough to try and play the race card, and you won the prize. It is no secret that Yazidis, Christians and other ethnic minorities in Syria and Iraq have been singled out for special executions, slavery etc by ISIS, and would have the greatest difficulty returning to their homes.

The preference should always go to those in the greatest need.

The rabid right are beside themselves on this one! Poor old Tone has let them down, he is not working to script. In fact he has actually done something good for once, how dare he. A new knuckle draggier has jumped on board to spit his own form of hate and venom, welcome aboard, not, what ever your name is.

Butch, when you are forced to post "While I'm not racists" You answer your own question! You are trying to justify your own racism.
Well good for you Butch, doing all that philanthropic work for your fellow man, collecting taxes or whatever you claim you do, good for you! You and those of your ilk have lost this one, and I am glad.

Hi Foxy as I type this I've got some background music playing, and what's playing now Bob Marley's 'Three Little Birds' here it is on Youtube, for no other reason than inspiration.

The fac is we live in a country that has adopted the attitude of, have as many kids as you like, because the tax payer will foot the bill.

Many other countries are not stupid enough to adopt this 'she'l be right mate" attitude and we are opening the flood gates to our over generous welfare system, you know, the one that's buckling under the strain and in danger of having the payees (the top 20%) say, enoughs enough.

So go ahead an gloat Paul as you have just denied your grand children and their childrens childrensome of the luxuries of life you took for granted.

Rehctub "The preference should always go to those in the greatest need."

Lol! You must be very naive indeed if you think Abbott and Co are very concerned at all about '...those in greatest need.' I believe ISIS is not very choosy about who they kill?

Abbott makes it abundantly clear he doesn't want Muslim refugees coming here, and that is wrong.

Hungarian troops are heading to their border to block the invaders. Austria Is considering cutting rail services from Hungary.

Whoopee, and good luck to them!

....Abbott makes it abundantly clear he doesn't want Muslim refugees coming here, and that is wrong.

What, don't we have enough for you yet Suze.

I wouldn't let any more in refugees or not. Muslumisum has been a failure wherever they go.
