Foxy said;
He said that Labor was also for pursuing regional
resettlement and would accept New Zealand's offer

The problem with that proposal was that New Zealand made it clear that
they would not have a different rule for them than all New Zealanders.
ie they could just get on a plane and come to Australia without visa
as do NZeders. If they were issued an NZ passport we would never know.

Dear Steele,

I totally agree. My experience with refugees is
similar to yours. None of the ones I know are
on any kind of welfare. They work at anything
they can get. It's a matter of pride to them.
Also they end up getting qualified and moving up.
And as you pointed out - they are so grateful
for the opportunities this country has given them.

Steele,

You're talking about legal refugees, part of an annual quota ? Or immigrants ?

People often get the two categories mixed up :) . And then, of course, get illegal entrants mixed up with both.

To clarify: there are immigrants. There are legal refugees. There are illegal entrants. To complicate matters, there are people on 451 visas, work visas; students; tourists. Sorry if it's all too difficult.

Just trying to help.

Joe

Bazz yes few need to understand not every move any government makes is wrong
IF Morrison let those financial refugees settle in NZ thousands more would come hoping for the same result
Cruel,but in truth needed
UNLESS we introduce the Malaysian solution
Stopping all in all surrounding countries however
Just think, EVERY arrival sent back overnight
We get to pick our refugees not have que jumpers forced on us

Dear Loudmouth,

I hardly think the notion of you 'helping' via your post would stand up in any court but yes the family I spoke of were refugees. This is why I volunteered to teach the husband English for a year.

That's another thing Labor's loss has saved us from - a deal with NZ, which would have seen 'refugees' from offshore detention going to NZ, getting NZ citizenship or permanent residence,then coming here just like all the other rubbish we get from them: 'islanders' who wouldn't have a chance of entry into Australia if they hadn't re-branded themselves as Kiwis.

New Zealand is fast becoming the armpit of the world under the virtue-signalling Ardern woman.
