how come Labor couldn't do this... ?
Can you only READ "The Australian" ? Quote:Fact Check consulted two researchers from the University of Queensland who specialise in data analysis, Dr Angela Higginson and Jason Ferris. They modelled the data and concluded that: "There has been a statistically significant reduction in the number of arrivals since the Coalition took Government... But it sits as part of a trend in reductions of arrivals that began with the last government. So in short, Mr Morrison is right, but he's not taking context into account."The researchers say the comparison period of before and after Operation Sovereign Borders used by Mr Morrison misses the point, " because this trend began back in July and there is no sign that the election of the Abbott Coalition Government has had any impact on arrivals whatsoever". They say over the past five years, there have been several changes in the trend of asylum seeker arrivals, the most recent change being in July 2013, "but that there is no evidence of any further change in trend since the election ". http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-12-10/scott-morrison-not-telling-full-story-asyl... i ... and the ELECTORATE'S not buying it, EITHER Quote:Labor leads Coalition in latest Newspoll by 52% to 48% two-party preferred Howard and Costello had spun the same old shite a decade BEFORE - in claiming the election of their government had brought interest rates to "record lows"
In REALITY, the RBA cash rate target CONTINUED on a trend that began LONG BEFORE any change of government Quote:The verdictThere has been an 80 per cent reduction in asylum seekers arriving in Australia by boat in the comparison period outlined by Mr Morrison. However, the data shows the number of arrivals began to slow significantly under Labor, soon after Mr Rudd's regional resettlement arrangement was announced. Love the bit I highlighted about the "researchers". Love how they say that the reduction in boat arrivals began with the previous government. Is that the same government that practically invited in 50,000 dole bludgers on more than 700 boats while over 1,000 people drowned and the budget for dealing with this issue blew out by billions of dollars from what was originally a <$100m per year policy? It's this simple: Labor's incompetent attempts at stopping the boats after inviting them was simply pathetic and it's only now that there has been a change of government and a toughening of our governments' stance on this issue that the boats are stopping. Lets be clear - Labor was all over the place on this issue: for onshore processing and then for offshore processing, for East Timor taking people and announcing it without informing the East Timorese, for sending people to Malaysia's worst prisons prior to being given an almighty slap-down by the full bench of the High Court (but not before committing us to taking thousands of people from Malaysia). Under Gillard, the ALP had more positions on this issue than one of Craig Thomsons' prostitutes would in a one hour session with him. Time to face up to the facts, leftards. Abbott said he would stop the boats and that is what's happening - not instantly, but certainly light years faster than any plan Labor had come up with! Can you only parrot the same thing over and over? Read what it says. Then try again. One deals with research and data. The other comes from ranting from people like Akerman. Puhlease. Actually, I was quoting figures freely available on the 'net by the former Labor government. Another own goal! LOSER!!!! really? Show me where all those quotations came from. http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_L...Note: The number of unaccompanied minors skyrocketed under Labor! (Appendix C) yes, I'm more referring to the actual phrases as quotations. You said you got them from the Labor Party? Link?
