This is how adults negotiate and announce policies
Nov 16^th, 2013 at 1:28pm

Prime Minister Tony Abbott is expected to soon unveil a new deal with Sri Lanka on stopping asylum seeker boats.

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop is understood to have discussed the new strategy with her Sri Lankan counterpart when she was attending a meeting of Commonwealth foreign ministers in Colombo this week.

Mr Abbott is having other meetings while he is in Colombo for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.

The coalition took to the federal election a policy of intercepting all identified asylum seeker vessels travelling from Sri Lanka outside the Australian sea border and arranging for the immediate return of all passengers.

The key to the policy is ensuring what have been described as "safe transfer arrangements" involving the Sri Lankan government.

Mr Abbott told reporters in Colombo on Friday that Australia had "good and close co-operation" with the Sri Lankan government and navy.

"I'll be thanking the Sri Lankans for the co-operation which they have extended to us on this important issue and I will have more to say about this in the next day or so," Mr Abbott said

I have never supported Labors position on asylum seeker policy.

I have commented on policy which would be likely to stop the boats but that never meant that I felt it was a good idea.

sending poor people.[ poor now they have given all their money to people smugglers] to another extremely poor nation...makes a lot of sense to some people..

I have always said.. why not find a solution to why these people are fleeing in first place.???

isnt that a job for the UN..

if they are economic asylum seekers as Bob Carr said they were...then let them come in the front door..if they have something to offer Australia then I am sure they wont have any trouble.

it certainly beats the people smuggling racket.

Bob Carr was flat out lying when he said that.

Adults send vulnerable asylum seekers back to a country where their human rights are abused and where many of them are tortured and murdered?
Why is it that Britains conservative PM shows compassion for these people where as Australias PM uses these asylum seekers as political currency?
This is a disgrace and Tony Abbott is an evil c@nt.
