I think you're right noco, Tony is away and Bishop is cranking up the demand for an apology.
Next week will be interesting, to see if the 'hard ass mother whatever' can explain what she is doing about actual issues.:D

Duh what issues? alls good. We are doing a great job.
 
Another boat ?

The boat off Cocos Island is likely the one from the previous article as the number asylum seekers corresponds (49).

The numbers on the second boat in the article off Christmas Island (104) does not correspond with the one from the news article yesterday evening (188), so this may indeed be another boat.

Greens immigration spokeswoman Sarah Hanson-Young said the latest arrivals showed the Nauru solution was not working.

Of course it doesn't work.

That's not what either the Greens or Labor want.

Yes Doc, I agree and I made the comment a day or two ago this Green/Labor government do not want it to work so they can throw it back in Abbotts face.

Of course it won't work. They have only gone half way with Nauru and Manus and Gillard knows it full well. She thinks people are stupid trying to pretend she has capitulated to Abbott.

Without TPV's and an attempt to turn back the boats, they will continue to come and both those islands may have reached their full capacity before they are even ready.

They are determined to get their way with Malaysia, but of course Labor has to appease the Greens at all costs.
 
Probably right to say Malaysia needs to be part of an effective solution, but they can forget it because there's no way either the Opposition or the Greens will support the legislation.

Meantime, Mr Abbott has had his meeting with Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, and - according to ABC Radio News at 9pm - has failed to raise the issue of turning back the boats.

So once again, Mr Abbott will have made himself the subject of scorn from the government. For all his insistence that a Coalition government would turn back the boats, if he can't even bring himself to raise it with the President of Indonesia, there would seem to be precious little chance of him successfully implementing such a policy.
 
For Malaysia to bee an effective solution, it needs to be open-ended for a start. Before then, there's little point in rehashing old ground.

Labor is not interested in an effective solution. The sheer number of boats under their watch is proof of that.

I would hope the Coalition are discussing broader based solutions with the Indonesian government than just turning back the boats in any case.

Yes, of course. But given the emphasis they have placed on the boat issue, it's reasonable to hope he would have discussed this with the President.
Scott Morrison, when asked about this today, says it was discussed by Julie Bishop and himself with their Foreign Minister. He declined to reveal the content of that discussion.

Discussing turning back boats would appear premature, at present getting Indonesia to just intercept boats, would be a start.
 
Poor Chris Bowen.

It's hard to defend the indefensable.

LEIGH SALES: It's accurate to say, isn't it, that the asylum seeker policy that you announced in August has not yet acted as any sort of deterrent to people trying to come to Australia via boat?

CHRIS BOWEN: Well, I think there's a few challenges here, Leigh, and let's ...

LEIGH SALES: A few challenges? Come on!
