29 Sri-Lankan's attempting to arrive by boat have been returned to country of origin.

What these intermittent attempts show is that the people smugglers are still trying.

Turnbull is trying to blame Victoria for Sudanese gang violence, but it's his government that are letting them in.

Europe is a joke (coming to Australia too)

Looks like we are going to get a "Little Sudan" to go with "Little Lebanon" and "Little Bejing".

We'll be fine. Australia had dealt with a lot worst. Starting with the Poms and their convicts. Then the Irish mobs. Then the Italians and other Euro trash.

Those guys actually worked for a living, not running riot and throwing rocks.

They'll either be in prison or grow up and get married soon enough.

Not saying it's acceptable and such, just it's what's expected from youth who are either orphaned or whose parents are too busy working to prevent bad influence.

It's been the same with every wave of refugees and mass immigrants. And of course it's only a small percentage so we shouldn't generalise to the entire community either. But of course that can't sell papers as much.

Poor coppers have an endless cycle:

Racial group causes problems.

Community outrage.

Police target offenders till the don't want to go outside.

Police cop shiit, called racist.

Offenders grow up, problem over.

Repeat.

That or maybe they also heard that Trump is planning to send up to 15,000 soldiers to stop refugees from "invading" 'merka.

When someone sends 3x more soldiers to stop people like yourself than they do in Iraq... probably not have that much faith in their promises.

You're conflating the two things?

Really?

Something weird about this report. No mention in any other media and all other News Corp sources say the words according to the Daily Telegraph. Are you able to supply the actual article Wayne?

I made the assumption that Murdoch's Daily Tele reports the facts accurately - i.e. those refugees rejected the offer from the US because no welfare payment.

Taking their rejection as fact, the reason for them rejecting the offer could be other than mere welfare payment... could be due to, I don't know, a racist president sending in a literal military to "welcome" other "invaders".

---------

Saw an interesting interview with some hippy professor on political dog whistling.

Just as Reagan hinting at Black undeserving welfare queen cheating honest taxpayers money must be stopped... stopped by gutting welfare for every god dam poor people... you know, just to be safe. Just like Billy Clinton talking about ending "welfare as a way of life"... so you have to cut it further, make it a lot tougher for those parasites [that aren't of course White or deserving]...

End result... welfare gets cut, poor people of every race, colour, religion all get stuffed...

Same with these rubbish about refugees seeking welfare, being parasitic; same with calling them invaders, having nothing to run away from like gangs, dictators, famine... those aren't real reasons to flee to anywhere at all.

See, idea is you first demonise and dress your victims up as "other (nasty) people". You get to do what you want, on all people.

So that's how it's done when it comes to dealing with poor peasants.

For the rich plutocrats [aka, job creators; aka entrepreneurs who love nothing but trickling down their cash if they have more of it]... for those you cannot possibly say they should be given more money. That'd be a bit unpopular in a democracy.

So you call it cutting read tapes, job creation, helping the little struggling billionaires so they can help all of us.

Same result though. Money get shifted from the poor and up to the rich.

Passing reference at the end of this SMH article:
https://www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...ealand-solution-rejected-20181102-p50dnr.html

"Separately, advocates confirmed a number of refugees on Nauru had rejected resettlement offers from the United States as part of the deal struck under former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Mr Dutton this week said 71 refugees had rejected a US offer or withdrawn from the process. Jana Favero, advocacy director at the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, said she doubted the figure was that high, but confirmed a "handful" of refugees on Nauru had pulled out of the US arrangement.

These were mostly people who had family in Australia and were concerned about being separated from them permanently, she said."

It is a difficult situation the press doesn't want people thrown out of the Country, and they don't want terrorists in the Country and they want the Government to sort it within those parameters. lol
What a weird Country Australia has become, the press dictates what is right and wrong, but take no responsibility for the outcomes.
The Government tries to facilitate what the press wants, because the press has the ear of the masses, and then when it goes pear shaped the press blames the Government.
When is the Government going to go back to its roots of Governing, and stop trying to pander to a press that has no loyalty to anything other than circulation or ratings?

Just my observations and opinions, not saying anyone is right or wrong, just wish someone would take the tiller.

Intriguing to see the outpouring of grief at the death of Sisto Malispina Co owner of Pelligrinis. Of course the full story of how Sisto was seen when he first came to Australia is quietly forgotton.

Maybe not.

Australia’s history of anti-Italian racism echoes grotesquely in rhetoric about Sudanese people

We can understand the grief over Sisto Malaspina’s death as illustrating the potential to overcome prejudice

That long history of anti-Italian racism makes the public embrace of Pellegrini’s both remarkable and relevant.

“Melbourne will stop tomorrow and the nation will watch as the city pays its respects to an Italian-born cafe proprietor whose death at the hands of a deranged assailant has rubbed raw a debate about immigration numbers, refugee intake, ethnic crime and Islamist-inspired terrorism.”

That’s Fairfax columnist Tony Walker, arguing on Monday that the murder of Sisto Malaspina, the co-owner of Pellegrini’s, should prompt “a root and branch conversation about the costs and benefits of Australia’s immigration and refugee intake programs”.

Well, perhaps that’s true – but not in the way that he thinks.

The history of Malaspina’s beloved Pellegrini’s illustrates the obvious similarities between the prejudices of the past and those that lurk at the edges of Walker’s piece.
