Depends on his reason for cutting immigration.


For no other reason than racism, IMO. Looks at the fuss he's making over the asylum seekers coming over in boats. We take in less than 1% of asylum seekers, the boats are not a big deal, the Liberal party is making it a big deal to scare the bigoted fools of this country, of which we have many.


If you don`t have a problem with illegal imigrants being put aboard "disposable" boats, I suggest you are missing some very salient points.

The baby bonus, in and of itself, is not the problem. The problem is the way it's given out. It should be given ONLY to those who maintain a stable family, free of alcohol and drugs. Parents receiving it should be drug and alcohol tested throughout the entire period that they receive it, and any drugs or alcohol in their system would instantly disqualify them and make them liable to payback whatever they'd received so far!!

Of course this would never happen, since alcohol abuse (and by extension drug abuse) is the "aussie way" and far be it from any sensible person to try and change it.

Of course some of us are concerned about the boat people, but sending them off to an Island prison is callous and cruel.

The Liberals as usual are using their divisive, xenophobic tactics - the boat people are the least of our problems.

More importantly - how are we coping with the influx of unwanted children bred under this baby bonus scheme? We're short of schools, teachers and services to support those children in need.

In another decade or so we're going to have a huge proportion of the population totally uneducated, mentally ill and/or dangerous. What will our society do with them?

Many of them will be incapable of being productive.

Most people would, but perhaps this is some grand plan to raise a bunch of uneducated kids for future wars.

The Americans train many of their marines with video games for warfare - maybe that's the direction we're headed. No doubt we'll still be bogged down in the mire of Afghanistan and Iraq in another decade - these kids will come in handy for cannon fodder.
