Labor Pacific Solution

I believe a third boat has arrived. Obviously asylum seekers aren't put off by this malaysian deal (or is that now another debacle?).

The amount of time and effort and noise and commotion that is wasted on the most stupid of things .
What a saving that would have been made if the policy had been set 20 years ago as 'if you attempt to sail through our waters and land on our beach without permission, we shall express our discontent with this situation with a large cannon'.
ONE boat would have been lost 20 years ago, people would have realized 'Oh Sh-t, they're serious!', and the issue would have ceased instantaneously. No more lives lost, no more political nonsense, nothing.
