Concentrate on Indonesia.
Request, require, INSIST,,,
that Indonesia watches its borders much more carefully. INSIST.
And back it with naval ships along the 'trade route' at their borders.
They are the enablers. IS that CLEARER. ??
Not perhaps a very diplomatic approach -- BUT .. its the only real approach to take.
That 'solution' is not practical.
We cannot [
and we should not] force Indonesia to do anything.
The problem is ours, the solution [
if WE want a solution] must also be ours.
So, what can
WE do, to discourage, or stop
the boats these illegal immigrants ???
Duh ?
OK OK OK
I have spent too much time at this keyboard explaining, much earlier in the debate,, maybe even on Yahoo,, what my preferred solution is . I was called, in effect a Nazi.
No probs there, I know what I mean.. and it is hard for me to re iterate my view, as such a world-wide problem DOES NOT HAVE a one sentence answer.!!!
For now...... ' how would i discourage or stop the boats' is a ridiculous preposition. I would not choose to take such retrograde negative actions. Simple.
I would .... resettle these people in a place in Australia, purpose-built, with positve intent, so that they have dignity and ultimately self-determinism, and opportunities to work, achieve and become solid citizens, whilst contributing significantly to all our futures.
We have a huge country, with massive resources, .. but apparently not enough people to max this.
The solution is staring us in the face.
I 've had enough of this for now.
