Paul1405 - At least you have dropped your ridiculous concept that if 6,000 people are gives a subsidy of approx $666 per year or $4 million dollars it does not cost taxpayers anything.

So now you work on the deluded thinking.
Quote "well off society" We live in.

This tends to negate that point.

Gee they owe less than we do.

Quote "these people had no choice as to the situation they came into."
True statement BUT absolutely ludicrous because you are implying we owe them a better life.
So by your logic every person who gets more than another person should give money etc to them.
If even 1% of the people in the world claiming to want a better life came here this country would be absolutely stuffed.

Paul 1405 To quote something you said "I don't expect a reply, you will slink off for a while, then return."

Looks like you are doing that on here.

You just can't seem to get anything right.

Phil, like your oft quoted scandal sheet the Uk 'Daily Horror' you can't differentiate between a subsidy and a concession.
Not only is the scandal sheet responsible for a lie, you are also by the misleading title of your thread, which is 100% Phil.

Your claim that Asylum Seekers are some how on average, given $666 of NSW taxpayer money is untrue. You can't show that if not give a concession on public transport, that asylum seekers would pay an additional $666 on average to use the service. Some may not use the service at all. You don't know.

Tell us Phil, how many of the 6,000 use their concession card, and how often. That is the basis of your $4million claim. Please supply those figures.

Paul1405 Get it through your head if they pay the full price less money has to be allocated for services and maintenance from taxpayer revenue.

It does not matter if you want to call it subsidizing or a concession that is irrelevant as it costs taxpayers, a benefit a lot of other Australians do not get.

Well Phil, an easy one for you. How many of the 6,000? asylum seekers have ever used the 'concession card' given to them, how often, how much have they spent on public transport? You're got all this pegged so it should be an easy one for you, as all concession cards are registered and can be easily monitored. Please provide evidence, not just a figure you pluck out of the air. If need be you can make one of those freedom of information requests you were previously sprooking about here.
I await you reply with baited breath.

BTW, the 6,000 figure seems rather odd, to round and approximate for my liking, was there precisely 6,000, or was it say 6031, or 5978. can you give me the exact number? Again it should be easy for one with your talents to find, its all recorded.

** Your stupidity in asking those questions defies logic, so you say "an easy one" all right you give us the figures, after all you imply they are easy to get. **

Thank you for showing everyone how much of a troll you are by asking those questions, the only way to prove you have an ounce of intelligence is for you to provide the figures.
