Not sure what boats would ply the waters between here and NZ.
What total rubbish. Try to find anything to support that. You'll be looking for a long time.
New Zealanders arriving in Australia are not eligible for social security benefits.
Maybe instead of continuing to post complete nonsense, spend a bit of time learning how to spell.
"arnt aloud"You are certainly hitting the slops tonight.
"ARNT ALOUD" that sounds kiddie txt chat.

That's what I thought - NZ arrivals have to support themselves. Shame these wealthy boat people are not required to do the same and leave our available resources to help the REAL refugees.
"arnt aloud" - still laughing...This from a guy who thinks he is an authority on everything...
Sails, I cannot help repeating myself that the influx of boat people are muslim majority and they are exploting Rudd/Gillard's relaxation of the Pacific solution.
I stiil maintain it is a world wide plot to infiltrate the Western world in order to be the dominant religious group with intentions to rule the world. It is anticipated we will see a muslim USA President in the future.
It is already a major problem in Brittain and Europe.
I haven't heard of this, Sails. How does it work?I would like to see a recall referrendum option - especially in the case of minority governments which would put more power back into the hands of the people when minority legislation is at risk of being passed against the will of the majority. Carbon tax is one such example a recall option would have been useful.
I haven't heard of this, Sails. How does it work?
Wisconsin is one of 18 states that has a system of recall petitions. This system allows voters to sign a petition demanding the removal of their legislator or of the governor. If a high threshold is met, an election is held in that district. If a majority vote to remove the sitting representative, then the result of the new election kicks in.
NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell has appointed an expert panel to examine the introduction of recall elections so voters can dump "corrupt, incompetent governments".
Thanks, sails. It would be a pretty brave (or confident) government that would institute that.I don't know a lot about it, but I heard about it when NSW were considering this legislation. Here are some links and an excerpt on how it works in Wisconsin in the States:

NSW panel to look at recall elections
There are more links - I googled "nsw recall election" - more to be found there
Have a read of Albanese in the last paragraph.LOL
Just saw the Greens on ABC TV Live. Wow. Stay away from those guys. They basically want to open the gate to anyone who wants to come here.
On Insiders today, Julia Gillard wouldn't confirm if Peter Slipper would be restored to a speakership if he was cleared by the court of sexual harassment.
It was an interesting show all round some good analysis by the panel.
Cheers IF.It was an interesting show all round some good analysis by the panel.
One would have to ask why the Government did not put to the vote in the Lower house their legislation which has been sitting on the books for six months or so and which is very similar to Oakeshott's Bill.
The reason they did not is that they knew that even though it would get through the Lower House it would not get through the Upper House because of the Greens.
So how despicable and hypocritical can this Government be to put forward Oakeshotts Bill yesterday knowing full well that despite it getting through the Lower House it will not get through the Upper House because of the Greens again.
What a waste of a lot of emotional speeches and the economic cost of our parliament sitting all day and debating something that would not change things one iota.
One must come to the conclusion that Gillard is interested in only one thing above all others - self preservation of power.
No doubt she will transfer the utter failure of yesterdays charade onto Tony Abbott (and won't say a thing about the Greens). But the Australian public is getting sick of this tactic and they are getting utterly sick of her - I know I am!
2.The Westminster system requires that the ministry must command the support – “confidence” – of the lower house, the House of Representatives. This convention is reinforced by the requirement of Section 53 that all appropriation bills must originate in the House of Representatives. Without the ability to secure “supply” from the House of Representatives, a ministry is obliged to resign or call an election. This last occurred in 1941 when the House of Representatives voted to reduce the size of the government’s budget by one pound. The then Prime Minister, Arthur Fadden, resigned and the ALP’s John Curtin was commissioned to form a government.
So the Australian Constitution has the written code about 'supply', but it is the underlying 'confidence' issue which attaches to every other failed bill which is the unwritten convention.
Indeed it was.Must have been another minority labor love-in ...
