Another Boat
Aug 23^rd, 2010 at 9:25pm

Another boat carrying asylum seekers has been intercepted in Australian waters.

The Australian government said on Sunday it was spotted north east of Scott Reef in the Timor Sea.

so I take it i will never see headlines such as this when Tony is PM?
His campaign has really scared them off

If he's in power next week - he'll be able to instruct the Navy to fire warning shots over their heads. That will scare them for sure.

He has stated that only 3 boats a year will arrive on our shores - so that means all the rest will be shot at. I wonder how he'll choose which ones will stay.

Or, ironically, were he to get up, his government may ship would-be boat people into Australia before they board their own leaky ones... Or pay them to stay in Indonesia... Wouldn't the Indonesians love that Grin

...

Nah, but more likely, he'll order the navy to shoot at them... Like the Singaporeans do.

We have some people with hearts in the senate to block retarded policies that the libs would try to pass. They won't stand a chance and Tony will have to at least pretend he's a little bit humane.

Pansi, do you have any idea what a minute fraction of people who are in need of asylum these boat people represent? These are only the rich ones, the very fortunate ones, there are teaming millions of people in our region whose lives are on a knife edge. You are "supporting" a very tiny portion of the capitalist ones, you aren`t really addressing the problem.

To support people smuggling is a very narrow minded, emotive view.
