Boat People in Leonora WA

[pilots]

E Trader, Why don't they stay in Indonesia??, I don't see any wars in Indonesia. The reason they all want to come here is the fact they can live on WELFARE. Did you know that they get Free phone calls each day any place in the world. I know old people here in Perth who can not afford a phone.

I agree with Prawn and pilots!
People getting knocked back who have genuine interests, yet these "refugees" come here, get on the dole, benefits, housing, medical, etc etc. Something just isn't right.
We are a soft target! They pass through how many countries to get here? At least 5, why not stop in those countries on they way here? Because they don't get looked after like they do here. We are soft! Rudd, harden up bud!

That's an odd question, are you suggesting all the refugees come from Indonesia? Or are you suggesting Indonesia should take in all of the refugees..

All the boat crews now in detention and awaiting trial for "people smuggling" in WA, NT and Qld are Indonesians. This would suggest the boats come from Indonesia.

This raises the question as to why these people are classed as lawbreakers when the people they transport here are greeted with open arms when they arrive at Christmas Island.

Was on on the news just now we have 9000 people homeless in WA, what gets me when you see that the boat people get, Good beds, free food, free phone, free medical, free INTERNET, and so as the can stay fit we provide them with a swimming pool and a GYMNASIUM. What about our old people that have worked all their life here, making this the place what it is to day, they should come first. Rudd you should hang your head in shame, or better still hang it in a noose.

I was VERY HAPPY when Johnie was running the show, tell me how many boat people came to Australia the last five years that he was running the show, then tell me how many have arrived after Rudd the Dud started running the show. By the way when that Johnie was running the show he had money in the bank, WHAT HAVE WE GOT TO DAY. LOL.LOL. Now as to the overstays, sure they should not be here, but you will find that 99% of all them overstays that are here are working NOT ON WELFARE. Look after Australians first I say.

Well i spose it is election time and a good time for the media to drum up some boat people fear for another grubby campaign to suck in the usual suspects.
Bring back the red arrows invading us,crikey they already rolled out that old chestnut.
But even if the Libs get in i bet ya the homeless dont get a better deal
Try and get welfare without an address or bank account
If we go to an election on boat people we deserve what we get more mediocre morons as far as i see its dumb or dumber

 

[pilots]

Todster, at the next election we will only have to ask two questions, one what have you done, two how will you ever pay back what you have borrowed.
Answer to the first, nothing, answer to the second, will never be payed back, the Libs will have to do that. Rudds days are numbered and he knows that.

 

[todster]

Business in Leonora will reap the rewards no doubt not totally wasted if youlive in these small towns yousee the money goes round and round one mans waste is anothers cash bonanza.
Its only your interpretation
Theres a man in Leonora Laughing his rsssse off and good luck to him

Todster, pilots wasn't suggesting overstayers are accessing welfare.
As he correctly pointed out, most of them are working.
And they will at least have entered the country on a valid visa which means some checking into their background will have taken place.

And re your remarks about homeless people, I completely agree.
How is it that we can accommodate illegal immigrants in conditions akin to a resort with gymnasiums and pools, while we have Australian citizens, often mentally ill, on the streets.
I know where I'd prefer my tax dollars to be going.

Well Julia i dont know if you have any idea where Leonora is but i dont think the illegals will have much chance of getting up to any mischief out there.
If they are working they have taken jobs off people looking for work?
Do we have scales of illegaltly or are they all playing the same game.
When the homeless have a bank account and an address and actually vote something might happen but can pretty much assure you it wont be from a Lib government.
