Asylum immigrants - Green Light

...another day, another boat...

...another day, another boat...

Just one ?

That would indicate they're trending down.

...another day, another boat...

Yes and all will be Muslims. We need more of these like a hole in the head.

Is it possible she wants to leave the worst mess possible for Abbott?

One gets the feeling she will do nothing about this even if she remains in power for another 12 months or more and leave massive debt, massive welfare payments to all these arrivals even if they are not real refugees and an awful mess with the carbon tax which she has tried to voter proof.

Surely none of this is in the best interest of this country...

I'm not sure why you would have any expectations of Ms Gillard acting in the best interests of Australia?
She has only ever acted in her own political self interest. At present that is served by stringing her tenure out in the hope something will happen to either stuff up the Libs or elevate her own miserable situation.

Why don't we have a religious quota?
% Non-believers
% Christians
% Hindu
% ...

We have the latest Census and the fastest growing religion was not hard to guess, that effectively displaces other religions.

It will be interesting to see how our "Border Protection" taxi service, manages to escort these illegals to Christmas Island.

INDONESIAN search and rescue authorities are searching for an asylum-seeker vessel which says it's in distress off Madura Island, northwest of Bali.

The vessel was believed to be carrying between 60 and 70 passengers, who said the boat was taking on water.

Those aboard spoke to the ABC overnight and expressed concern that Indonesia, rather than Australia, was coordinating the search.

If we have anything to do with the taxi service to a boat that is north of Indonesia then we are the biggest mugs around.

If this happens then Julia should resign!

It's crazy.

Forget the Navy, Gillard and Co are looking at the problem from this angle....

This boat was taken back to Indonesia by Indonesian search and rescue despite a crew member contacting Australian authorities. So much for saying the boats can't go back to Indonesia:

Sutrisno, the chief of the East Java search and rescue agency, said the group would be taken to Surabaya in East Java on Friday and handed over to immigration authorities.

Exactly what the people on the boat didn't want. Might be a small deterrent, or maybe just a warning to all those following that they should not sound the distress call whilst still so close to Indonesia.

Liberal Anti immigrant rhetoric is solely aimed at grabbing the bogan vote... More people = more money, pretty basic economic principle.

The title of this thread is ridiculous - if you don't know the difference between an immigrant and an asylum seeker, then you probably shouldn't be discussing the issue in public. The definition of either word does not depend on your political persuasion.

I would have thought that if someone was in trouble in their home country (eg; civil war, IE Syria/Afghanistan/Iraq), you'd hop to a neighbouring country (like Turkey) and seek refuge there, not through 5-10 countries hoping to get free housing/medical/rent assistance and become a dole bludger the rest of your life.....

Dannyboy, you are so right, they get here and then want to change our country it the way they want it, we are getting SHAFFETED by the do gooders.

What would you do if the green light was on in Oz. You would be dumb to stay in Turkey!

At last an intellectual on the forum, I can feel a distinct lift in the quality of posts already.
Thanks for the post OGRooney.

Talk about do-gooders.

"We are going to take them to Surabaya so that immigration officials can deal with them," the Indonesian spokesman said.

Refugee advocate Ian Rintoul claimed Australia should have gone to the aid of the passengers despite their very close proximity to Indonesia.

"It will be a complete disaster for the asylum seekers because they will be indefinitely detained in appalling conditions in Indonesia," Mr Rintoul

Yeah, If we get invaded, I'm going to jump on the first boat to Indonesia, totally.

Did you support Australia and America's decision to invade Afghanistan and Iraq? If so, stop whinging about refugees... war = refugees.

SPtrawler - Thanks for the support mate

I thought it was not allowed to call these people asylum seekers anymore, I seem to recall all the newspapers were told they were not the be referred to as asylum seekers but as immigrants.

I think what you are referring to Miss Hale is that it is politically incorrect to call illegal immigrants "illegal immigrants" even if they come here "illegally" by boat without any papers. "Asylum seeker" is the politically correct term.
