SM assure you the sky is not falling , yesterday, like most Sundays I wandered around two markets
This time it bought about a 300 klm drive, to the NSW central coast and back
great food, all made by migrants swapped smiles even laughs, good people
Saw no guns under the stalls no evil, wish they would move to my country village!
In the end they are, just as post ww2 migration did, helping us as much as themselves

Belly,

You are right, the sky is not falling mostly because we don't have a labor government that is hopeless on border control.

SM,

Labor is in opposition - not in government and
as Dutton stated the recent return of the 20
Sri Lankans means that the boats are still coming.
Dutton also said that there have been many more boats
that have been turned back - only we're not told about
them.

cont'd ...

Kristina Keneally has been appointed the
Opposition Minister for Home Affairs and
already Mr Dutton appears to be panicking
by his uncalled for - derogatory comments about her.
You can bet that she will call the government to
account and for greater transparency. Perhaps that's
what's making Mr Dutton nervous. He knows the lady
is very persistent(determined, talented,) and will get
her job done.

SM how do? the title of this thread has very real meaning
Labor dodged a bullet
The economy is about to fail, surplus unlikely, interest rates drop
And Labor should pass ALL the tax breaks Morrison tables
After all, just because they come at the wrong time ,Labor has no mandate to stop them
Morrison, if things get bad, will reret them

Foxy,

The "many" boats you referred to was actually 10 in over 5 years compared with the 300 under Labor in the same period, most of which were turned back or the occupants deported.

That 2 boats left Sri Lanka as a Labor victory was anticipated is not a coincidence. That KK has spent her time railing against boat turnbacks and offshore detention makes her appointment and her sudden conversion a complete joke.

Dutton will eat her for breakfast.
