Are you really that thick dippy the president of Nauru has made it quite clear on television and radio and in their parliament they will join the UN

George wrote on Aug 8^th, 2010 at 1:34pm:

If they go to Nauru they end up here, the UN will not accept them.
As for the other comment by Burwood, Nauru are not members of the UN and who says they would be accepted if they apply?
Their parliment is in as much turmoil as Fiji.

George wrote on Aug 8^th, 2010 at 1:47pm:

So we keep paying for them? it doesn't matter if you leave them there or bring them here, under Abbotts plan they will be OUR problem no matter where they are.
You do know Australia would be paying for them in Nauru, dont you?

Helping out a few thousand boat people a year is nothing when you consider our migration take each year is between 200,000-300,000 people.
Australia has a lot more pressing issues to deal with

Not according to Abbott, he said in his speech today he would reduce imigration by 100,000 a year.

The Greens want no restrictions .  Let em all in is their policy

Abbott will not drop migration to 100,000 because he knows it will lead us straight into a recession and destroy the international education industry in this country.
Under either govt migration will fluctuate between 150,000 and 200,000 for a long time into the future 

hi jcheeverloophole,
welcome here.

Lisa is Lisa. She is not male.

Why does this bother you adelcrow?

She talks about meeting them all the time. I can't imagine why she finds it worthy of mention, but she IS a right winger after all. Meeting macca must be like meeting a pop star to another rightie.

Adelcrow, in my opinion, whatever it is you are asserting is wrong and foolish.

Andre, SLR and Lisa are different people.

Those who ar ein detention WILL end up here, however it is not about ending up here.

It is about if you want to come here you go through the right channels.

Skippy, answer me this.

You've been patiently waiting in a queue for a hotdog, Its almost your turn and your really hungry, But hang on some queue jumpers jump infront of youand your now back 100 places, now you waited some more and your almost ready to be served again and they say no more hotdogs all gone.

How do you fell??

See skip you support queue jumpers and you support people smuggling you support ppl risking their lives in leaky boats. You do not support ppl doing the right thing.

Abbott is about to turn the screws on labor.

labor are toast this election

Tut tut Lisa..just another of your many stories..but what the heck, nothing changes

Everyone's a troll as far as you're concerned. You've only been on this board for 5 minutes and you're reporting people.

Adelcrow hasn't appeared to have done anything wrong. I'll put in a good word with the mods for him/her.

Are you skippys alter-ego?

There is a hell of a lot more I could say re the id adelcrow .. and the many ids he has used to flame/troll with (and subsequently been blacklisted for on Yahoo) .. but I much prefer to ignore the person on THIS forum .. because I feel nothing but pity for him/IT .. and I wish to starve his obsession for me altogether.

Again I trust you will all appreciate and respect my position.

Regards Lisa

Could we now please get back to the REAL topic??

From what I can tell .. it is indeed a worthy topic .. and as such should be discussed unhindered.

Looks like Ive backed Lisa into a corner..

Labor's own Mark Latham talks about the importance of sustainable population/immigration policy direction (which will obviously impact refugees/illegal immigrants)

Why thanks Lisa for you informed reply, Hurstville these days with your children from multiple fathers, and living with your Mum in a council 2 bedroom flat - free internet as well - has improved your access,

So,  when howard had Nauru, all the boat people ended up there.  Where did they all go?  Aussie of course!   Remeber the guy that was there for over five years?  where did he end up?  Aussie of course!

All the Libs have done is moved the problem.  Instead of towing pople to visibleplaces like CI - they will be towed to Nauru.   Just think of the billions of dollars big Tony will spend now,

Shameful.  Manipulation of the people's lives to achieve a vore.

PS.   How is "Golden Breed" or your Kiwi root going?

As I've said before, it's a sad indictment on us, collectively, to not see the tragic irony in Australians sending the desperate and destitute to island prisons.

And it's an even greater indictment on us as a nation to embrace the idea with such enthusiasm to the point that it has become a national neurotic mania.

The only hope for the nation with this neurotic "boat people" mania is that, as it's mainly driven by a white trash fear of brown people, maybe the nation can be embarrassed into reform.

"As we all know"

You mean like all those mostly non-brown people who jet in.

Cyberman wrote on Aug 8^th, 2010 at 10:09pm:

Yes, the ones whose overstaying doesn't trigger the innate fears of the white trash, or they'd be as terrified of these as boat people.

Gawd... Where's that bloody Karnal when you need him?

Australia have signed the refugee convention and offered the hand of freedom to refugees.....it is not their fault they have accepted this hand of freedom Australia has offered.....if Abbott and the Liberal party do not want to help refugees as agreed upon in the convention then they should remove our name from it or honor it.....to treat genuine refugees like criminals for domestic political gain is disgusting and shows a lack of leadership by both major parties.....Refugees are desperate and take great risks to try and forge a better life.....unfortunately for them Australia does not honor it's word when it comes to our politicians......we all know the boat people are a drop in the ocean....yet every election we show how racist we are....we created this problem and the innocent must suffer to protect the self interest of a few politicians.......disgusting behavior from Australia.....Australians have nothing to be proud of!!!

Yes, but to paraphrase a truly great leader : "We, as a nation, must become the change we want to see in our politicians"...

The nation must recognise its heightened moral responsibility with regards to its treatment of the desperate and destitute, by ensuring we do not inflict on them, or risk their further suffering as a result of, 19th century solutions to inconvenient problems.

I'm unemployed and I'm the most right-wing member here.
