When will Australians wake up to the sinister hidden agenda of the ALP FABIAN Socialists ? BE WARNED these FABIAN Socialists are DESTRUCTIVE DEMONS who want to DESTROY the AUSTRALIA we know and love.
It will be recalled that the ALP purposely DID NOT introduce the FULL SET OF SUCCESSFUL COALITION STOP THE BOATS POLICIES. This was quite deliberate as the ALP wanted to fill up Nauru and Manus so that they can "justify" letting the invading illegals just walk straight into Australia!!!
So now the ALP FABIANS Socialists have just about achieved their hidden agenda to allow unlimited numbers of Muslim illegal invaders to pour straight into Australia without any checking at all. The FABIANS want these illegals to go straight onto life long welfare so that they will vote for the ALP. The ALP don't care about needy Australians being thrown onto the street because these poor beggars DON'T VOTE for the FABIAN SOCIALISTS!!!!
Also the FABIAN Socialists want to permanently change the Australian culture and society to a miserable welfare dependent Communist style Socialist cesspool somewhere between Greece and Nth Korea.BE WARNED AUSTRALIANS you have a sinister venomous serpent slithering in your midst ready to STRIKE!!!!!!!

Australian Customs officials greet a boatload of about 90 Sri Lankan men, women and children who were brought ashore at Christmas Island yesterday.
THOUSANDS of asylum-seekers slated for transfer to Nauru and Papua New Guinea will be released into the community with no work rights and minimal support after the Gillard government effectively conceded its revived Pacific Solution had been overwhelmed by a massive increase in boat arrivals.
Barely three months after announcing a tough suite of measures aimed at halting the flow of boats, Immigration Minister Chris Bowen yesterday acknowledged that most of the almost 8000 people to arrive since the government's expert panel on asylum-seekers handed down its report will stay in Australia, despite the Gillard government's threat to deport them.
As the first group of boatpeople touched down in Papua New Guinea and another 100 Sri Lankans were sent home, Mr Bowen sought to preserve a key recommendation of the report, the no-advantage principle, announcing it would now apply to asylum-seekers in Australia.
For the first time, Mr Bowen also put a timeframe on the no-advantage test, saying asylum-seekers could expect to wait about five years for resettlement.
"People who have their claims processed in Australia and are found to be refugees will remain on bridging visas until they are issued with a protection visa in accord with the no-advantage principle," he said. "They will still be subject to potential future transfer to Nauru or Papua New Guinea at a date when increased capacity becomes available."
The changes, expected to affect thousands of boatpeople, drew stinging criticism from refugee groups and the Coalition, who said the government risked creating a floating underclass of asylum-seekers who would be forced into the black economy.
Refugee Council chief executive Paul Power said: "It's going to leave people living close to absolute poverty."
Tony Abbott said Labor "doesn't have its heart" in offshore processing. "For this government to say 'oh, look at the 18 that have gone to Manus' when you've got 2000-plus coming every month demonstrates that they just don't get it," the Opposition Leader said.
Under the no-advantage principle, boatpeople could expect to wait on Nauru or Manus Island for resettlement for as long as they might in refugee camps elsewhere in the region.
The principle is designed to remove the incentive of travelling to Australia by boat. But since it was announced it has had the opposite effect, with 7829 people arriving since August 13 a record rate of arrivals.
Only 2100 places will ultimately be available on Nauru and Manus Island, forcing the government to take drastic new steps. Among the changes announced yesterday were an expansion of the onshore detention network to include another 700 places and a huge expansion of the bridging visa program that will see thousands of boatpeople accommodated in major cities.
Asylum-seekers released on the new visas will be eligible for 89 per cent of the Newstart allowance, which equates to about $438 a fortnight for a single person with no children. They will also be eligible for what the minister described as "basic" accommodation assistance and will be subject to transfer to Nauru or Manus Island at any point in their stay.
Mr Bowen rejected suggestions the policy would create an underclass of asylum-seekers, most of whom would probably be found to be refugees. "It's not generous, but it's appropriate," Mr Bowen said of the welfare benefits available.
Mr Power disputed that, saying the new rules effectively revived the Howard-era temporary protection visas, which Labor abolished in 2008 on humanitarian grounds.
On TPVs, asylum-seekers could work, but they could not access the family reunion scheme, leading to claims they created an incentive for boatpeople to bring their wives and children on the hazardous boat voyage. Mr Power said that, at least, the new visa system didn't carry the threat of return.
"(But) in some ways it's worse in that people won't have the right to establish themselves financially or reunite with their families," Mr Power said.
"The incentive for family members to come to Australia by boat or follow each other by boat will be as strong as it was when TPVs were introduced."
That stance was echoed by Greens immigration spokeswoman Sarah Hanson-Young, who accused Labor of reviving TPVs by stealth.
"We've already got John Howard's Pacific Solution and now we've got John Howard's temporary protection visas," Senator Hanson-Young said.
Despite the surge in arrivals, Mr Bowen yesterday expressed a guarded confidence the measures would ultimately succeed.
"I believe that the implementation of these measures will obviously impact on the decisions of people to come to Australia by boat," Mr Bowen said.
One success story for the government is the quickening rate of returns to Sri Lanka.
Yesterday, Mr Bowen said that 100 people had been returned to Colombo, bringing the total number deported since August to 525.
A single Afghan was also returned, the first such involuntary removal since Australia signed a memorandum of understanding with Afghanistan in January last year.
The opposition spokesman on immigration, Scott Morrison, said Labor's changes meant offshore processing was now "the exception rather than the rule".
"The chances of being sent to Manus Island and Nauru are as remote as their location," Mr Morrison said.
He rejected the comparison with TPVs, which are a key part of Coalition policy.
"The bridging visas are not TPVs in any way, shape or form," Mr Morrison said.
"They're just an excuse to let people out of detention because they can't handle the numbers." Yesterday's announcement came as the first asylum-seekers arrived in Papua New Guinea.
A group of 19, including families, arrived at Manus Island, a facility that will ultimately hold 500 boatpeople. Four children were among those transferred.
Mr Bowen said the Save the Children organisation had been engaged to ensure their welfare.
"People-smugglers have been peddling the lie that if you come to Australia by boat as a member of a family then you wouldn't be processed in another country, you'd be processed in Australia," Mr Bowen said.
Mr Bowen said the Tasmanian detention centre of Pontville would be reopened and the Melbourne Immigration Transit Centre would be expanded to allow for another 300 places.
Last night, the opposition and the Greens combined to have regulation relating to bridging visas disallowed.
Thousands of asylum-seekers living in the community will have to temporarily re-enter detention and have their cases reassessed by the Immigration Department.
