'Maybe Clive paid this boat load to come?' No Belly didn't you hear it was the Russians?

The boats are a permanent problem and will continue whenever the
smugglers think they can convince their passengers that all is well this end.
Sending them back with maximum publicity is the way to stop the boats.
A recent report is that a boat left India and has never been heard of since.
I wonder how many others have also disappeared ?
Probably not many else there would be a lot of relatives enquiring.

Bazz totally agree and that is what voters demand and will get

Don't forget Individual, when he decided a GST was essential, Howard went to an election with it as a policy. It damn near cost him that election, as so many in Oz don't want to pay their own way.

Also remember he went to his last election with a very unpopular industrial relations policy, which he also believed was necessary. That one cost him his seat & his party government, but he had the honesty & the guts to do it.

Dear runner,

Of course you regularly come across as a person with few morals or redeeming qualities given what you have served up to us over the years but here is a change to claw it back a little.

What do you mean "Dodged a bullet'?

In their latest piece of loony-ness, The Guardian has claimed a spike in suicide attempts on Nauru and Manus since the election. Those pesky pollsters have a lot to answer for! And, The Guardian trumpets, because Australia has had the cheek to return the Coalition government, they:

" …. will hold the Morrison government to account with fearless and fair journalism – delivering rigorous analysis and investigation".

If they don't stop playing with themselves they will go blind; and when did any government bother with a UK based red rag.

Suicide 'attempts' are not to be taken seriously; they are really blackmail attempts, which authorities are well aware of, and they don't work. Nobody asked these people to attempt to enter our country illegally. They can return home, at our expense, anytime they wish. Australians have made that quite clear that they don't want people coming here without invitation - and that's one of the reasons Labor lost the election.
