Asylum immigrants - Green Light

Fascinating story Bunyip. And just for once it is actually largely true . (Isn't it a shame how most of the email tales are just that - tales to incite hatred)

And even this one has been twisted to further the propaganda values of the perps. ( Naturally the twists make it even darker.)

Check out the real story at Snopes.

Everything up to and including "a war between civilization & barbarism" in the piece quoted
above is a direct excerpt from an interview given by Dr. Eldad to New English Review in November 2008. The line "Bibi (Netanyahu) gets it, Obama does not" and everything beyond it is not; that section was added by some unknown person.

As to the veracity of Eldad's story about a burn patient turned suicide bomber, it is indeed an account of an actual incident, except for the small detail of how the aspiring terrorist came by her burns. (She was injured by a gas tank explosion rather than deliberately by her family in retaliation for a suspected affair.

I was wondering how many people are aware of the Snopes website apropos to my last post on the accuracy of many circulating email messages ?

Bunyip story is not the first one to come around and in fact is reasonably accurate (even though it has been significantly altered).

Just for interest check out some of the current fraud emails being circulated particularly around Muslims and Obama care.

Claim: A provision of Obamacare allows federal agents to conduct forced home inspections and remove children from the custody of their parents.

Snopes is an interesting and often hilarious website . Certainty worth a visit whenever you get one of those "this is horrible" emails.
 
Andrew Bolt's show on Sunday featured an interview with Scott Morrison.



It gets interesting from about 7 minutes into the show. If what Scott Morrison said (between 7min30sec and 7min40 sec), the former government wasn't only politicking in Australia as one would expect, they were also trying to poison the well in Indonesia.
 
Operation Sovereign Borders update Friday October 18

3 boats carrying 167 asylum seekers in the past week.

The Government has revealed that 73 asylum seekers were immediately flown back to Sri Lanka following an initial assessment on Christmas Island.

The Operation Sovereign Borders weekly briefing revealed 167 asylum seekers tried to enter Australian waters on three boats in the past week.

The operational commander, Lieutenant General Angus Campbell, says these arrivals included a boat carrying 79 people from Sri Lanka which was intercepted last Saturday.

He says authorities found none of these people had reasons to seek refuge in Australia.

And that their removal would be consistent with Australia's protection obligations.

Seventy-three of these people have been returned to Sri Lanka.

The remainder are being assessed as to their fitness to fly with a view to returning them to Sri Lanka as soon as possible.

Summary of arrivals since this government was elected

Remainder of the week to Monday 23/09/2013: 31 passengers on 1 boat.

In Last Friday's briefing, it's actually 3 boats carrying 173 asylum seekers in the past week but that includes the 79 from Sri Lanka advised but not counted in the previous briefing. The previous operational update is therefore no boats.

Any Labor lefties true to their cause should have been on the docks watching regardless of the uncivilised nature of the hour.

I suppose it's just more comfortable banging on about how cruel our nation's policies are towards asylum seekers from the comfort of an air conditioned environment while sipping Latte's.
 
Note the difference -

Labor = Bumbling stuff ups and talk.

Scott Morrison says new Malaysian measures will stop asylum seekers coming by boat

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison says the Malaysian government has agreed to extra measures that should ultimately stop asylum seekers from reaching Australia by boat.

Mr Morrison has confirmed he visited Malaysia this week and met its home affairs minister, Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The under-the-radar trip was confirmed at the Immigration Minister's weekly briefing today.

Operation Sovereign Borders update Friday November 1

In short, no boat arrivals over the past week.

During the reporting period there were no arrivals. Over the course of the month of October, there were a total of five suspected illegal entry vessels carrying 339 illegal maritime arrivals who were subject to offshore processing or enhanced screening, and none of whom will come to Australia.

A trickle of arrivals are also voluntarily returning to their country of origin.

For the reporting period 14 illegal maritime arrival transferees were returned to Iran after electing to go home voluntarily, six from Nauru and eight from Manus. Since the commencement of Operation Sovereign Borders, a total of 67 people have voluntarily returned to their country of origin from offshore processing centres.

The overall briefing itself is quiet lengthy.

Total since the commencement of Operation Sovereign Borders:

544 passengers on 10 boats.
 
While the current government is having early success with slowing the boats, we still have to digest the legacy costs of the situation the current government inherited, the following of which is the biggest example,

We now currently have 33,000 illegal arrivals in detention and in the community on bridging visas. As well as a further 2,000 or thereabouts held offshore at Manus Island and Nauru. This is now costing Australia $3 billion every year.

ASIO-Report-to-Parliament-2012-13

http://www.asio.gov.au/img/files/ASIO-Report-to-Parliament-2012-13.pdf

Page 3 and 4 are interesting, as is some of the intro...


Bolt did a story on it.
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/asio-report-says-there-are-great-dangers-from-radical-islamists/story-fni0ffxg-1226752319068

In fact, we already have 20 Muslims jailed for terrorism-related offences and ASIO fears more may come: "There has been an increase in Australians travelling overseas to participate in terrorist training or engage in foreign disputes - Syria is the primary destination.
Click to expand...

Add also this danger sign: Of the 18 terrorist groups banned in Australia, 17 are Islamist. Even the exception, the Stalinist PKK, is from the Middle East.
Click to expand...

Given all that, our immigration policies have been incredibly reckless, thanks to politicians more concerned with seeming good than achieving security.

We have been bringing in more than 10,000 refugees a year from Muslim lands - especially ones in which jihadism is worst. Many have little English and few skills. Not surprisingly, just 9 per cent of Afghan adults find work here even five years after arriving. Yet just last month, the Abbott Government said it would accept another 500 refugees from Syria's war between jihadists and the Assad regime.

This one is interesting,

AN asylum seeker boat has been assisted off the coast of Indonesia after issuing a distress call while making its way to Australia.

A spokesman for the Indonesian search and rescue agency, BASARNAS, confirmed to AAP that a distress call was received from a vessel in the Sunda Strait earlier on Thursday.

Something here doesn't add up. Sunda Strait is between two Indonesian islands. It doesn't make sense that it would be getting escorted to Xmas island from there by one of our navy vessels.

It may not be. This was in the story you linked to....

The official said that discussions were underway to organise offloading the asylum seekers in Indonesia, after earlier suggesting they would be escorted to Christmas Island.
