Labor were warned three months after it came to power back in 2007 that its closure of the Nauru detention centre would cause an unprecedented spike in people smuggling to Australia and in doing so increase the likelihood of tragedy.
I'm only surprised it didn't happen sooner, it was only a matter of time, was a tragedy waiting to happen, and quite aloof on Labors behalf if not downright careless.
Did they think the pacific would find it's own solution?
A grim reminder that embarking on our shores this way is dangerous.
Just another disasterous policy failure by the ALP, and they know it and yet they still want to lure people to Australia.
It is Julia Gillard's go soft policy that is directly putting these boat people into a place of danger that is causing this.
It reeks of criminal negligence and intent by Julia Gillard.
Julia Gillard knows that she is doingthis, and what is she doing to stop or prevgent it? Nothing, if any Julia Gillard is sweetening the honeypot by relaxing policies even further when she allowed families that arrive with children that arrive won't be held in detention centres.
Dead babies are on Julia Gillards conscience - if she has one.
Just what Australia needs a dried up barren ranga controlling the monkeys that deem themselves as lefties that are capable of voting.
