The really scary part of all this is that all these 'experts' & policy developers in Govt are all highly educated people AND they nearly always fail. At huge expense I might add. Time to let the less indoctrinated have a go I say ! They're the ones who keep going no matter how stupid the legislators are.

INDY CATCH UP MATE THE THREAD IS ABOUT STOPPING THE FLOW OF REFUGEES
Hasbeen you know those figures would have been in place ONLY UNTIL THE BOATS STOPPED
You know they would have within three months at most
abbott said he let that blind him
To totally and forever stopping the boats
I am not buying in to the totally racist ban Muslims stuff
It will never happen and should not
But count the costs of offshore detention
Understand both sides do not want to be wedged on this issue, so bring a deal, like the one I sell here, before Parliament, make it clear if both sides do not vote for it [remember it was Labors invention] one side can not be trusted on refugees/migration

I am not buying in to the totally racist ban Muslims stuff
Belly,
What on Earth are waffling on about here ??

Take a deep breath indy, then read post after post telling us we should ban Muslims
Even send them back
In fact, based only on your last two posts, try reading others if you intend to comment on them
Again not near every Muslim is a threat, that section that are, should be deported

Belly,
What on Earth has trying to save Australia from this stupidity got to do with racism ?

Belly, it is not unreasonable to send all moslems back to wherever.
Those people believe in a command from Allah that unbelievers must
be killed. There are many other verses along the same lines.
Ask any of them if they deny those verses. They will never do so
because it is blasphemy. Which is punishable by death and is the
motive for honor killing.
The usual comeback is"Oh there are verses like that in the bible".
True but, they are not valid and are denied by all.
Denial is not an offense.
Moslems will never deny the verses that call for the killing of those
that refuse to accept Islam.
This is different from all other migrants, religious or cultural.
Why should we associate with those committed to our murder ?
