Sorry, but if you believe they are all arsonists or not genuine refugees because of the actions of a few, then that is exactly the point.

They do not have special rights.  They do however (well should) have the right to seek asylum and that includes the right NOT to be punished for how they do it, by boat, with a smuggler etc.  They also have the right to not be arbitrarily detained, which is why the protest started in the first place.  They are people with rights, same as you or me.

Every single report into the detention facilities has said they are not up to scratch.  They are hot, rat infested and crowded, and no place for children.  I have never seen a positive review of their facilities by anyone.

They get food they have to line up for hours to get.  A recent report said they had 500ml of water a day, which is nuts considering the climate.  Cigarettes?  well i don't agree that should be necessary.  They have very minimal access to any technology.

Have a read here Cods

“The food is edible. But there are a lot of flies in the food. They even found a human tooth in the food.”

"Asylum seekers are detained on Manus Island in crowded accommodations - one dormitory houses 112 detainees"

In the largest compound, Oscar, 500 men receive only a dozen bottles of water per day to share between themselves.

"This amounts to less than 500ml of water per person per day which is  extremely insufficient, especially given the heat and humidity"

So do you have an answer?
This one will require some research,Peccy, and not just posting dumb pics.

I'll take that as there are no Australians receiving free living essentials from the government.

Prisoners, lol. okay. 

I don't believe those sources. They are political and therefore have an agenda.

Oh I know prisoners receive it all from the tax payer, I just thought it was a stupid example.

I wonder how much of Andrew Bolt you take seriously? Probably none. Why should I take some far-leftist political organisations seriously?

Probably the worst of all members on this forum.

If he's not answering questions with questions, he's disputing the validity of evidence.

A true buffoon.

Actually, his sock - Postmodern Trendoid - is even worse.

Again, you're just posting political propaganda. I read it all with skepticism. I am not a hater. I am more indifferent. I care for those close to me, not people who live 10,000 kms away. "Progressives" live in an inverted world. You sneer at your own people but bend over backward for foreigners. Take Peccy, for example. He rants on about bogans and other Australians, but never speaks ill of foreigners, even though they come from more conservative backgrounds than the people here.

If you want to play international socialism and save the world, so be it. But do it with your own time and money and stop using the tax payer as your own personal bank account.

If they're brown, and come from 10,000 kms away, the answer from Misty is a resounding "yes".

Moreover, he actually "thinks" there's nothing wrong with that.
