mikk,

Since you believe that The Courier Mail is lying, perhaps you would be so kind as to correct its report that,

"Labor has pledged to end uncertainty for legacy asylum seekers by granting permanent settlement to thousands who arrived by boat under the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd government"

No problem here, Colonel Beach at the head of his right wing para-military band of the good people, that is his well armed regiment of Citizen Militia, shall drive these unwelcome interlopers, all 150,000 of them into the sea!
Beach will be ably assisted by the Forums gang of right wing usual suspects! They are lining up already.

"Competition with the Greens for far left votes in marginal seats" Shows how much Beech knows, always claiming to be an insider on all matters Green, the Green votes of these far lefties, would through preferences flow back to the Labor Party anyway. Why would you bother.

Paul,

How are the new arrivals settling in. Are they accepting the green concept of gender fluidity?

Excellent Shadow, our niece aged 30 arrived from New Zealand in January, straight into a $80k/year health managers job (she had it lined up before she left NZ). Renting a unit (sharing with another Kiwi girl) in very good Eastern subs location (in Turnbull territory) and saving money to boot. Been back to NZ already at Easter, and off to the Gold Coast for a week soon, gee those refos are doing well. Her boyfriend has been over since and is migrating in August, to work as an Engineer, something to do with water supply/filtration what he does in NZ now. Yep the new arrivals are settling in very well. both are learning English and hopefully will be able to read and write soon, bloody Maori! No dole for those two, niece should get a nice tax return having only worked 5 1/2 months, the economic migrants!

Paul1405,

You and your creative storytelling. You have new ones for each occasion. Anything is possible on the Internet.

Now, having indulged yourself, might you have anything pertinent to contribute where the OP is concerned? Here, to repeat from post number one (and The Courier Mail which is celebrating a significant birthday),

<"Labor’s Invite to Thousands of Illegals

Labor has pledged to end uncertainty for legacy asylum seekers by granting permanent settlement to thousands who arrived by boat under the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd government"
[The Courier Mail today]>

Paul,

All very well, and I wish this pair of migrants from a former part of NSW all the best, one hopes however that they learn Australian vowel pronunciation!!
