I smell a rat, a bloody Liberal rat! The general argument from the forums rabid right, is we can't afford to spend money dealing with overstayers when we have to spend so much on asylum seekers. Hummmm! do we have to.

Well, when you give out a $420 million contract to a somewhat spurious outfit without any proper tender process, you might well ask where is the money to deal with other problems in migration.

What am I talking about? Front and Centre the 'Paladin Group' never heard of them, either had I until today. Well they have been given $420 million of taxpayers money without any competitive process in place to provide so called "security" to refugees on Manus Island, $1600.per day/per head. This company has its corporate headquarters in a shack on Kangaroo Island. Its head honch is some former mercenary from Rhodesia.

Dutton claims ignorance, Porter is in a muddle. What a circus.

Wont read about this one in the grubby UK gutter press.

"Penny Wong says it’s ‘deeply concerning’ a company with ‘such a poor track record’ was awarded a lucrative sum through closed tender"

Paul1405, Here is another rat you can smell from Germany, Australia won't give out the figures.

"Germany's Federal Office for Migration and Refugees reported that only 35% of the migrants who arrived in Germany since 2015 have found work."

Person above, I do not engage in palaver with a FORUM ABUSER. Although an apology to the abused well could see a change in disposition. Until then consider yourself "persona non grata" with one Paul1405.

The above statement is not necessarily absolute. But it will do for now.

Quote "The above statement is not necessarily absolute. But it will do for now."

I like it, translated to English when I can't refute a stated point I will ignore it BUT if I can refute an argumented point I will.

Typical cop out.

Expect a compilation of your abuse to others in a few days, let others judge who is the abuser.

Paul,

On this thread you have been both free with the abuse and economical with the truth. Not only do you deliberately misrepresent the statistics, but you also deliberately lie about the intent in what we said.

The only example of criminality of the "overstayers" is one bunch of hopeless crims who failed to land a single ounce of drugs in the country. The vast majority don't cost the state more than a tiny fraction of what the boat illegals do.

On the other side are tens of thousands of economic migrants who having already cost the country well in excess of $10 000 0000 000 cost many millions each year in welfare.

That overstayers are problem, no one is denying, but to claim that they are more of a problem than the boat people is either a delusion or deliberate lie.

Ah! Shadow,

How to invent rubbery figures, type the number "1" then hold down the zero key until your figure get to tied and you let go.

Presto, what do you have 100000000000 a Shadow rubbery figure as to what //economic migrants who having already cost the country//.

Wake up and say hallo world! The big news is now 'Çhumgate' with Cormann, and a conga line of Liberal chumps flying around free with Hallowrld. Then there is Joe Hockey pushing the Liberal chum Halloworld CEO and Liberal Party treasurer Burns barrow to win a big government contract. Its revealed Hockey has a $1,000,000 investment in Halloworld. Got to get what they can, before they get kicked out in May.
