Interesting article from Indonesia's perspective:

AUSTRALIA'S policy deadlock on asylum seekers has become a major source of frustration in Indonesia with a senior politician saying there must be a "strict and clear" deterrent against people smuggling.

Indonesia is calling them illegal immigrants:

"These illegal immigrants trying to get into Australia, and even risking their lives, are doing so in the hope that Australia would accept them since Australia is open for them."

And telling us what the majority of Aussies already know but our PM seems unconcerned:

If Australia seriously wants to deal with it, Australia must have a strict and clear policy that explains whether they're still open or not.

"There's legal problem in Australia that there's still no strong signal from Australia's legal system that gives deterrent effect for people smuggling."

Maybe if there was a better policy in place (like there was, at one time) to deter people, funding of the disability scheme wouldn't be a problem, which it now is.

It will be interesting to see what Houston and his team come up with.

You can bet your bottom dollar it will favor Gillard because she would have some influence with them. That is for sure.

She already knows the solution but won't swallow her bloody pride to accept the coalition well and truly tested arrangement on Nauru, TPV and turning the boats back. She knows damn well it will work.

I know who will have influence,

Julia Gillard's expert panel, chaired by former defence chief Angus Houston, today meets with a parliamentary advisory group in Canberra including Senator Milne and independent MP Tony Windsor.

My bet is a shabby compromise between Labor and the Greens where our sovereign interest comes last.

A practical policy position would be to return those rescued in Indonesia's search and rescue zone is to return them directly to Indonesia.

Meanwhile, Chris Bowen is sharpening up his post-political career as a rug salseman.

They are trying to get in in front of the Parliament and they’re running, if you like, a closing down sale. Because they know offshore processing is a proper deterrent.

Gillard Labor's closing down sale at its One Way Magic Carpets store has been going to two years.

This appears to be another bit of Bowen foot in mouth.

Asked today if he believed the deadlock would be broken this week, Mr Bowen was not optimistic.

"It takes a particular type of arrogance to reject a report's recommendations before you have even seen them, when we are dealing with people's lives," he told ABC television.

Shouldn't that read, "It takes a certain type of arrogance to reject a policy that is in place and working".
He is really setting himself up for a kick in the goolies, but not to worry, he is used to it.LOL
 
Well it was all revealed today, Gillard and Bowen should have adopted the coalition policy. No wonder he looked sick yesterday, he must have read the findings of the commitee.
What an absolute bunch of goons, they stand up and say we accept the findings and are now prepared to adopt the coalition position.
If they had done that a couple of years ago we wouldn't be in the position we are now. LOL:cry:

Can you believe this twit of a Prime Minister is claiming victory.

I believe she has persuaded Housten to run with Nauru and PNG to save face. She can now say we will go along with the panel of experts findings.

Why in the hell did she not go along with coaltition bloody 12 months ago. She could have saved the lives that have been lost at sea.

More to the point why did they change the system in the first place, four years ago - because they have not got a clue!!

Their stupidity has cost this country billions of dollars in this matter alone.
 
Hopefully now, Labor will take seriously how poisonous their relationship with the Greens is too them.

It's their adoption of Greens policies on asylum seekers late last year after their Malaysion solution collapsed that has accelerated this undignified capitulation.
 
Sixty-seven illegals, mainly Palestinians, were picked up 46 nautical miles from Java by MV Parsifal and delivered to Christmas Island.

Why?

This article confirms what many of us have been concerned about - that many of these boat arrivals are not genuine refugees and are fraudulently taking the places of those genuine refugees who have waited for years for placement.

Here's an excerpt:

AUSTRALIA'S immigration system is subject to widespread fraud, with hundreds of people believed to be lying about their nationality to gain a visa.

A former Immigration Department official who worked at the Australian high commission in Islamabad told ABC TV last night there was "endemic fraud" in Australia's immigration system, claiming it happened "on a daily basis".

The official told the 7.30 program she used to process visa claims at the mission in Pakistan and wanted to expose the extent of the fraud in the region
