Chris Bowen and SHY whinge about the latest orange lifeboat turning up on the shores of Java while the asylum tide turns in SE Asia.

Last Friday's OSB report seem to have gone under the radar. 2 arrivals from no boats. I hope they're not now swimming the distance.Shhhhhhhhhh......the silence from the Labor Paty and the Greens is deafening......no boats....no ammo left.....all done and dusted......Illegal boat arrivals is now history.......detention centres closing......Billions of dollars saved....All we have to do is get rid of the dregs
Attempts to sabotage the lifeboats will also likely fail. Even if a hole is punched in the hull and the lifeboat takes water, it is designed to remain buoyant.
The boats are fitted with enclosed tamper-proof engines that cannot be accessed or refuelled at sea without the right equipment.

There is this further article on the 2'nd lifeboat,

IIRC, someone on this thread said they were a stroke of genius.

Urgent medical attention according to OSB, resistance to being put on the orange lifeboat according to those who were returned to Java in above lifeboat.I heard somewhere that the two who came were found to be in need of urgent medical assistance and were on one of the boats that were turned back. I have no link - hearsay only!
Nine illegal maritime arrival transferees were voluntarily returned to their country of origin after electing to go home from an offshore processing centre””two to Iraq and seven to Iran.
Ten illegal maritime arrival detainees were voluntarily removed””five to Iran, three to India and two to Lebanon.
Two illegal maritime arrival detainees were involuntarily removed””one to Pakistan and one to Sri Lanka. Their removal from Australia is consistent with Australia’s obligations.
The problem now appears to be largely solved so I suspect this is just a whinge for Indonesian domestic political purposes.Marty Natalegawa doesn't seem to appreciate our generous gift of colourful brand new boats in return for the decrepit old ones he sends us. Honestly, there's just no pleasing some people!

There's been a second disturbance at the Manus Island facility with one asylum seeker dead and 77 injured.
Two of the injured, one critical (fractured skull) and one serious (gun shot wound to the buttocks), will be transferred to Australia for treatment.
That's perhaps why Labor had not budgeted for its funding beyond January.WOW! Half a million bucks per detainee. THAT'S BIG BUCKS!!!
Our tax dollars at work.WOW! Half a billion bucks per detainee. THAT'S BIG BUCKS!!!
Our tax dollars at work.
Let's buy some more of those beautiful luxuriously comfortable air-conditioned orange lifeboats and ship them all back to the country from whence they came ... INDONESIA.
WOW! Half a billion bucks per detainee. THAT'S BIG BUCKS!!!
Wasn't it pressure from that bunch of idiots who insisted that we could fix the world's climate change problem by introducing the world's biggest carbon tax, and then solve the world's refugee problem by encouraging them all to come here so we could shower them with our compassion and love?One of the things that still baffles me to this day is why Rudd/Gillard opened the flood gates to these illegals in 2008 in the first place..
