Sorry Luciferase,

I'm probably too dim to be purposefully dim :(

I don't know what IMA means. Or what you mean by the 'situation of qualified refugees': I didn't know there were 'qualified refugees' on Nauru: by definition, they would be approved refugees, part of the intake. Have I got that meaning of 'qualified' wrong ?

I don't see how a Malaysian Solution would be any more effective than the Nauruan Solution: perhaps the reverse, given the current strengthening of Shari'a law in parts of Malaysia.

But I'm assuming that you are opposed to taking in undocumented or unapproved refugees who come by illegal boat ? That refugees should have to go through the process of filling out the right forms, etc. ? After all, with 65 million or so, far more refugees would have applied in the proper way etc., than could be taken in annually ?

Cheers,

Joe

IMA = irregular maritime arrival

Yes, qualified refugee = approved refugee. They cannot be part of the intake because they came as IMA's after the cut-off date Scott Morrison had announced.

That was the great dissader, come by boat and you won't be settled in Oz. The Malaysian solution upholds this principle.

Accepting the NZ offer would be a one off to end the inhumanity we have allowed approved refugees to be subject to on Nauru.

Jayb,

That's an excellent idea. The UN is always accusing Australia of not getting it right, so they - perhaps the Arabic or Chinese members - could take all refugees into their countries, given that they know all about it.

Joe,

You are not the one who is 'dim' in this conversation. I would rather be thought dim than be seen running down my own country and its right to protect its borders from maybe-refugees. As Banjo said, what's hard about understanding NO, you will not be settled in Australia if you come by boat.

...." I would rather be thought dim than be seen running down my own country and its right to protect its borders from maybe-refugees."

Allowing Nauru to continue is running down our country. Challenging inhumanity is not the same as challenging the right to protect our border.

Inhumanity and border protection do not have to go hand in glove. Humane solutions must be explored.

Nauru has opted out of the agreement with us. It is now their problem. Anyone who is left on Nauru can return home at our expense. This has nothing to do with 'humanity'. Grow up and get over yourself, you loony Left twit. These bludgers are not welcome here, and neither should they be. You call other people 'dim'. You are the dim one, you blithering idiot, traitor and malcontent. You are a disgrace to Australia.
