What a PATHETIC and useless government to allow this to continue.

How absolutely STUPID of them to wreck the system that was working so well for political point scoring.
Oh well, that seems to be the dumb labor way...wreck and spend...grrr
 
They're flying or have flown in by chartered Qantas 747, 1000 people from the detention centres are are just releasing them into pre arranged boarding facilities in Sydney and Melbourne with $220 per week and no work.
These people can barely speak English and come from everywhere, to the land of honey and Centrelink.
I cant think of a more fitting scenerio for crime and violence.

I wonder where they got the money for their designer sunglasses :banghead:
 
An asylum seeker who was evacuated from Nauru for medical treatment because of a long-term hunger strike has been sent back to the detention centre.

The Iranian man, known as Omid, was flown to Australia late last month after refusing food for 50 days.

What's so special about this guy? A million Australians suffer eating disabilities.:rolleyes:
 
Another five boats.

A boat carrying 101 people was intercepted north of Christmas Island. HMAS Pirie, operating under the control of Border Protection Command, intercepted the vessel yesterday after it was initially detected by an RAAF maritime patrol aircraft.

Also yesterday, a boat carrying 59 people was intercepted by HMAS Bathurst northeast of the Ashmore Islands.

Ha Doc, have the boats stopped coming?

Haven't heard a word for days.

Maybe Gillard has gagged the press :confused:

No Noco, from information I have been given, the smugglers have agreed to cut it back over the festive season.
This will enable the government to more accurately cater with hams, christmas puddings and presents at the detention centres.
Apparently the Labor party has said they will make up for any shortfall in turkeys, from their own ranks.:D

No, she hasn't gagged the press yet on this issue and no such luck that the boats have stopped either - this from today's Australian:

TWO boats carrying more than 100 asylum-seekers have been intercepted in Australian waters since Christmas Day.

The latest arrivals will put further strains on the detention network, which has struggled to handle more than 11,000 arrivals since July.

The following was one of many similarly outraged comments in response to an article in "The Punch" lamenting how poorly treated are the 'refugees' (the article writer's word) on Nauru:

My son just applied to get a Tax File Number and we had to send away his passport and medicare card ..... his ACTUAL passport and medicare card to prove his identity. It takes 28-days for the Australian Government to clear my son, who was born in Australia, to get a tax file number.

How can anyone who shows up on Australian shores without a passport or any form of identity prove who they are to anyone???

Seems a pretty reasonable point, doesn't it? Yet on arrival in Australia, these people who have had the means to pay people smugglers, receive welfare payments, despite our not knowing who they are or from where they have come.
 
Another seven boats.

It's good to see the people smugglers at least have the Christmas/New Year period off, or was that our own public service ?

Is there a way to find out last year total (2012) ?

Total number of boats?
Total illegal immigrants?
 
I found this elsewhere and it shows it pretty clearly what has worked and what hasn't. I don't think the last bar shows all the arrivals for 2012...:eek:

Agree sails.

I don't blame these poor folk for trying to get to Australia but it is clear from the graphs where the blame lies.

Rudd ALP Government
Gillard ALP Government

Our borders have become a nothing under Labor.
