Most voters are very selfish and only think of there hip pockets rather than a flood of illegals.
Perhaps it will and they will be accountable as a result. If that is what the voters want via the ballot box that is what we will get. It's not my cup of tea, but nor is dispassionate cruelty.
The Catholics tried to blow up the House of Lords with gunpowder, but we still let them in, even be half arsed Prime Minister and immigration minister on the few occasions.
Like I said, they get what they want , but it might not be what they expect.
The media pushed for Abbott to be rolled, because he wasn't receptive to them, the public opinion polls supported this, now we have Turnbull.
Turnbull now finds himself with the same problem Abbott had, all the facts regarding tax and welfare, and none of them palatable.
So the media now want Shorten and Labor, just have to convince Joe Average.
The roller coater will only stop, when someone calls it as it is and stops pandering to the press. Hang on Hockey tried that and it blew up in his face.
Best we just let everything reach rock bottom, then get a bit of desire and hunger back into the equation.
It's funny really, if we hadn't allowed this massive capital expenditure on increasing raw material extraction, would some other country like Brazil or Argentina now have the problem instead of us?
IMMIGRATION Minister Peter Dutton has revealed an asylum seeker boat from Sri Lanka was intercepted two days ago as a known people smuggler was jailed for ten years.
Mr Dutton said the Sri Lankan Navy reported it had stopped the Australian-bound vessel near the western coastal village of Negombo with six adults and three children on board.
“The Sri Lankan Navy intercepted that boat, turned it around and took them back to shore,” the ABC reported.
Senator Hanson-Young tweeted her response to the ruling shortly after 3.30pm, saying "the PNG Supreme Court has ruled that the Manus Island Detention Camp is ILLEGAL".
"Time to bring those left there to Australia to be cared for," she said.
Papua New Guinea's Supreme Court has ruled Australia's detention of asylum seekers on Manus Island is illegal.

It hasn't taken long for the child senator to offer her predictable response,
More likely a redistribution of existing aid if it goes down that path.Time to open up that Foreign Aid coffer and make some use of it.
But Immigration Minister Peter Dutton says no detainees will be resettled in Australia.
In a statement, Mr Dutton said the ruling would not alter Australia's border protection policies.
"No one who attempts to travel to Australia illegally by boat will settle in Australia," he said.
"Those in the Manus Island Regional Processing Centre found to be refugees are able to resettle in Papua New Guinea. Those found not to be refugees should return to their country of origin.
"People who have attempted to come illegally by boat and are now in the Manus facility will not be settled in Australia."
12 months is yet another demonstration of the short sightedness of the Gillard government on its measures and Richard Marles in his response above is forgetting something,Mr Dutton said the agreement with PNG to establish the Manus Island centre was negotiated by the Labor government, but Labor's immigration spokesman Richard Marles told the ABC former prime minister Julia Gillard had only signed a 12 month contract.
Mr Marles said Mr Dutton needed to travel to PNG to sort out the issue as soon as tomorrow.
"We negotiated a 12 month agreement with Papua New Guinea for the use of Manus Island as an offshore processing facility in the expectation that the vast bulk of people would be processed and settled in that period of time," he said.
"Instead, we've seen a complete failure on the part of the Turnbull Government."
Mr Marles would not be drawn on whether remaining detainees should be transferred to Australia, saying instead that it was important that the people smuggler trade did not restart.
What do you suggest is the alternative ?Should Australia fix this international inhumane smear on our modern day politic or continue to pay billions to advertise our salute to Authoritarian despotic dictatorships and their inglorious memory.
No one can work in these holes of despair without damaging their psychology.
Lets split Australia in half, let the leftist cultural vandals have their unlimited illegal immigration in their half, in our half immigration to the extent we see fit... Give it twenty years and see how it turnes out
The problem with that is that we all know which half would ultimately be expected to pay for the social excesses.Lets split Australia in half, let the leftist cultural vandals have their unlimited illegal immigration in their half, in our half immigration to the extent we see fit... Give it twenty years and see how it turnes out
Mr O'Neill has now released a statement said that his government "will immediately ask the Australian Government to make alternative arrangements for the asylum seekers".

We should just set all of the PNG detainees on fire and put the videos up on youtube like ISIS does. It would increase deterrence (which is the whole point of sending them to PNG and Nauru right?).
Anything yet that makes in on your prevention index ?I think there's a concern they might drown on the way over here, thus Dutton's stand. The last thing he wants is people profiting out of the misery of refugees which is why we don't pay Transfield anything but direct costs and the PNG government only peppercorn rental of land.
I wonder how much Transfields donated to politics last year?

I didn't expect you to have an answer to your own point but I'm also surprised to see you slip off that hollow moral pedestal with a personal slur.Nup ... your question presupposes I share your entrenched hate values.
