SR,

You mean the Sri Lankan war that finished in May 2009 before the boats really started?

No I meant the monumental cock up by Krudd and Juliar after promising in 2007 not to change the Pacific solution, the 50 000 illegal immigrants and economic migrants, the 1200+ people drowned, and the legacy of a $10bn debt, 30 000 in detention incl 2500 children, and a massive drain on the economy for many years to come.

If you don't consider this cock up was caused by labor I hand the floor to you.

Steelie: Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Iraq. Perhaps you would like to argue otherwise.

Sri Lanka: The movement of moslem's across the Palk Straight into a Buddhist/Hind/Christian Country. You can walk across it's only a Metre deep at high tide. That caused the trouble.
Afghanistan: The destruction of the half way Civilized old Government by a Radicle & Fanatic Islamic Taleban bent on taking the Country back to the 6th. Century.
Iraq: Two moslem Sects who have hated one another since the 6th. Century hell bent on destroying each other & turning the World back to the 6th Century.

Notice a similarity between all three. (moslems) Conclusion, where ever you have moslems, you have big troubles.

I notice in to days Courier. The Government is going to change the Law in the next sitting.

If you ever came by surreptitious means you are going home & never ever coming back.

If you are a Terrorist & in Jail, you're never getting out. Yippie! Too bad for the hubby, eh Steelie.

Hi JayB,

I'm not absolutely sure but I thought the great majority of Tamils in Sri Lanka have been there for generations AND are predominantly Hindu. Maybe I'm wrong :(

Hi SR,

Dear oh dear, here we go again:

Are you suggesting that if anybody tries to reach Australia by leaky boat, after paying huge fees to smugglers, should be eventually allowed to be admitted to the mainland and, in time, become a citizen ?

Is that a yes ?

If so, why .....

Joe

Dear Loudmouth,

Whoa there young fella, not so fast.

You accused me of hyperbole. I answered the charge. You have not acknowledged it and I would like a verdict.

Nor have you addressed Hasbeen's comment. If you deem it to have been hyperbole from him then why haven't you directed a similar admonishment to his way? If you don't regard it as hyperbole then why haven't you condemned it, or do you also regard a willingness to blast out of the water boats containing men, women and children seeking refuge as normative behavior?

steelie: a willingness to blast out of the water boats containing men, women and children seeking refuge as normative behavior?

Sounds like a Plan. These people are not seeking refuge. They are Economic Refugees seeking monetary gain. The UNCHR recognises that, that's why they don't help them in our Detention Centres.

I realise that you would like Australia to become an Islamic Caliphate, that's why you want these Islamic child abusers here. It just ain't gonna happen.

Well, Lucifrase has had his final answer delivered by Malcolm Turnbull - "The gates are shut". And, not before time. Labor has not said they are against it yet, but they have a lot of atoning to do for Rudd's stupidity, which caused mass drowings that they can use as an excuse, even though they have shown disinterest in protecting our borders.
