Hi Indy,

Unfortunately we have 2.5 million economic refugees in Australia, we call them 'Aged Pensioners', and alas they will be a financial burden on the poor taxpayer for every more, unless of course we introduce my 'Seniors National Service' idea. Do you have any thoughts on a final solution to this vexing problem of aged welfare largesse.

p/s I was shocked with the Labor Governments announcement yesterday that there will be a whopping 4% increase in aged welfare payments! Can you believe that, 4 @&#*&#$ percent? Outrageous COMMUNISM if you ask me, I'm sure you will agree!

I have to say, as a part pensioner myself, that handing out money to pensioners because of some 'doing it tough' beatup by the media is a shocking piece of vote buying, and totally unnecessary.

Perhaps this hysteria about rising prices started in the eastern states, but where I live, we don't have $12 lettuces and all the other tripe put about by the media. Apart from petrol, which I don't use a lot of, there is no evidence that there should be any hardship.

Besides, people are still spending big. Like a lot of other scaremongering, the activist left wing media keeps barracking for Big Government to 'save' us.

Dear Paul,

«What I have presented is good people wanting to do good, there can be nothing wrong with that»

I have no doubt about the goodness of these people.
I just contested their being "involved in GRASS ROOTS PRIVATE community sponsorship of refugee families".

«You seem to find government inherently bad»

AS IT STANDS. It does not have to be so, but as it stands on this planet, governments force themselves and their laws on everyone who happens to live in the land, whether or not they consent. That is violence, and violence is inherently bad.

Paul,

The Nadesalingam family were illegal economic migrants and not refugees

Hi Yuyutsu,

"governments force themselves and their laws on everyone". I agree at times governments are excessive in their behaviour towards citizens, and there is much wrong with government. However, saying that I cannot divorce government from the people, or government by the people. Then there is the question of laws, and the need for ordered society, what is the alternative? Once you have authority in place, which government is by necessity, established authority, then enforcement of laws becomes mandatory. If you can offer a viable working alternative, I'm willing to listen.

"The Nadesalingam family were illegal economic migrants and not refugees"

Well SM, that was the general opinion among NAZI's, and the ruling of the Fascists Morrison government.

Paulnazi,

According to you all the judges that clearly decided that these illegals were not refugees were also Nazis?

Try not to be such an ignoramus. Genuine refugees should stay economic migrants should not.
