Regardless of whether it's real or fake, it doesn't belong on the dock at Christmas Island as the product of its owner paying an illegal people smuggling syndicate for the boat trip to get there.

If you still don't approve of the current government's policy mix to stop the boats which the opposition has now adopted to the point of accepting turn backs as a policy option, what would cut it on your prevention index ?Might have a bom6 in it !!!
With regard to our humanitarian intake, what are you trying to justify with the above ?

You've had plenty of time to think about it.
So your against immigration broadly on the basis of managing population growth ?Just highlighting that all immigration has a cost. That we don't seem to have a policy that says those already here should be better off from immigration, not imposed on by it with congestion, house price inflation, and generally lower standards of living.
I'd argue much of the $45B spent on upgrading the east coast electricity networks was due to rampant population growth. The need to build new roads and public transport is all due to rampant immigration.
Congestion lowers productivity. Land price inflation lowers productivity.
From Howard onwards they're all big Australia. When do we realise it's populate AND perish.
I don't want to see anyone drowning anywhere nor do I want to see people smugglers putting the lives of others at risk by plying their illegal activity. I also think it's wrong to encourage people to country shop through this illegal trade for economic reasons.Are the Opposition signed up to the active protection by cover up, of child abuse? Along with a $55 million scheme to relocate 4, count them 4, refos?
And that Louis Vuitton knock off, which you would have much preferred to of be found floating in the Aegean, was actually owned by the wife of a fella who did quite a bit of work for ' Jordanian Trucking Company' in the very early 2000's. A bit of 'chicken feed', so to speak, coming home to roost.
AWB kickbacks, Royal Commish anyone?

Take a look at what is actually happening in Europe with regard to boat arrivals. It's following a familiar path. The UNHCR has provided the following excellent summary.

Very much so. To argue against humanitarian immigration because of the cost, while supporting immigration via the A380 doesn't add up, since it too is very costly.
I'm not saying zero population growth, but I'd be much happier with something around 50K of long term arrivals a year, which is around one third the long term average.

Hollywood movies are considered gospell by training wheels.
And to use another of your quotes
Bahahahahahaaaa
As the US were behind the change of regime in the Ukraine and as all becomes quiet on the plane shot down as evidence mounts that this new (not democratically elected) mob were behind the tragedy. Again it is to suppress Russia from supplying oil and gas.
Some even suggest that the drop in oil price was part of it too. However this is backfiring as Russia's production costs are still below recent lows and US fracking companies are against the wall.
Rolleyes back.
The money Ralf.
Transit countries such as Greece and Indonesia are a few km away ?You're missing the point.
if their country weren't bombed in the first place, they wouldn't be forced to flee.
Once forced to flee and restart their life again... if you were them, where would you prefer to flee to? Just get a few KMs away or go where there's a brighter and more secure future; go places where the chances of being bomb are very very low. Wouldn't you?
But of course you knew that... you just pretend you'd be more honest and more honourable.
You're the one who doesn't like the current government's policies in stopping the boats.You continue to be presumptive on a solution to a problem that you devised as requiring a dehumanising solution. It's not up to me to solve your dilemmas. Not all of us are binary thinkers and fellow sheep.
How'se the promotion of adult content to children going? "You've had plenty of time to think about it".
All of a sudden I'm reminded of that line in Happy Gilmore uttered by Shooter McGavin about what he eats for breakfast ....
INDEED ! It was to evidence Plods supposition that America was not involved with Africa ... something about money Ralf .... Baaaahahhahahahaaaa
Lose the "Baaaahahhahahahaaaa", you big mouthed capitalist pig and failed property developer. Does "Voyager Homes" ring a bell?
Your "cut & paste" is of more merit than my "cut & paste".
Explod is a decent and objective community thinker, not like your self engrossing self.
I will buy explod's view any day above your crying poor retailer syndrome bull****.
Bahahahhaahaaaha is that it Macquack? Bahahahhahahahaaa *gasp* hahahahahhaaaaa name calling at it's finest.
You can ring your own bell anytime you want Macquack and I am sure that is what you do best.
I never called explods integrity or character into question. He made specific statements that did not have a ring of truth to them. Meh ! Evidenced with FACTS.
I have often agreed with the plod on more than one occasion over many years of being a member of this forum.
Bahahahahhahaahaaaaaaaaaaaa
