Quote:Tony doesn't have to undermine anything, because Labor's plan is no deterrent.
Especially not if PNG will not process children under 18 or women.
If they choose, males will go to Manus Paradus now. Womem and kids will, if they choose, stay on Christmas Island until the powder rooms and swings are set up on Manus Paradus. Or, they can all go back home, now.
Quote:They still will come here.
No they will not. No-one who arrives by boat will get to come to Australia as a refugee.
Quote:Or men if they are married to a female on the boat.
No they will not. No-one who arrives by boat will get to come to Australia as a refugee.
Quote:Or those that are shown to be not genuine refugees.
No they will not. No-one who arrives by boat will get to come to Australia as a refugee.
Quote:Wait till the women and kids pile onto the leaky boats with single men claiming to be the husbands.
Add to that all those passports and other ID being chucked over the side and what have we got then?
As you know, it's Tony's job to hold the government to account for it's bad policies.
Abbott is now irrelevant. It does not matter what the combination is.....anyone who arrives by boat will not get to come to Australia as a refugee.
Quote:PNG ministers today stated that any that are resettled in PNG will have to wait 8 years to get citizenship, AND demonstrate the ability to converse in one of PNG's local languages.
Fat chance of that.
Great...so who'd choose to go there if it involved risking life and limb on Achmed's leaky heap of poo.
Quote:KRudd wasn't quite telling the truth last Friday during the grand announcement unfortunately.
This is another fine example of Labors policy on the run.
Please quote actual words used by Rudd which are not true.
Quote:Even Graham Richardson today opened up to the media and told them what this policy really is.
Really, exactly what did he say?
