You're mixing up boat people with those who arrive by plane.

Nobody has ever said that the majority of visa overstayers (arriving by plane) are granted refugee status.  Quite the opposite: those people are illegal immigrants.

Boat people, however, are legal asylum seekers and the majority of them are most certainly granted refugee status.

There you go Peter, you have opened Pandora's box for us all again.

Been done here?...Been done here to death more like it!

This is kinda like groundhog day around here Peter. Mark the deniers well. They'll be picked up on all the thousand and one errors of fact they make. Tomorrow it'll be like it all never happened and they'll be making the same ignorant claims all over again. I reckon righties are closely related to goldfish. 

Okay, here is my take again:

First this forum is so vast and lively you cannot cover every thread or post.

I will look at any thread that interests me. I will decide when that is. I will, of course, follow more closely those threads I initiate, and it looks as though a few others might comment as well.

If you want a reply from me, then try to be polite. Name calling and mudslinging does nothing to me (remember I was a journo, then a union advocate). All it does is reflect on the caller and the slinger.

With no exception I will not respond to anybody who disses me. That means it is almost a certainty the Baronvonroot, rot, or rort will ever hear from me again.

For those who have complimented me and my work thanks so much Take this as a timeless thank you from the heart if I sometimes miss you.

I join these forums because it is fun and to give people a laugh.

Most importantly, I contribute my views in the hope that every so often someone reads my stuff and says: "I'd never thought of that before, maybe this guy has something there. I'll have to give that further consider".

There are always some whose minds cannot be opened with an atom bomb. I used to try debating with them, but it is a time waster. Now I simply shake my head in wonder and move on to greener pastures.

I can see asylum and refugees is big media story everyday in Australia,

For me as I am here just study for the 2012 time I do not mostly say on Aussie items as I do not know or am citizen to do so,

But you know from my experiences you must be care on who is coming to Australia,
Suspect terrorist also hides with refugees,, we know this as we has this problem too,,
Israeli army has to enter refugee camps to capture terror suspects in there hiding,,

So be care,, with the refugee comes the terrorist too,

And some might argue there are terrorist sympathizers that come to our country on student visas.
