Gee wow, one boat in a matter of weeks. Lets all hit the panic button. No, hang on! That might be a bit hasty. I seem to recall a time when we were getting 2-3 boats a day. Oh yeah, that's right - it was the norm under Labor over the previous 6 years!

During much of Gillard's reign of terror as PM. You wouldn't remember - you had beer goggles on and your head in the sand...

No, I've come to the conclusion that asylum seekers are just as over seeing morrisons jerk off sessions every Friday as the rest of us, and probably hope that if they don't come he'll eventually stop showing his ugly mug on tv.

Or perhaps the reduction has come not only from png solution but also from the fact barely anyone is left in Syria, or that Indonesia has cracked down on visa for Iranians, or the fact that Sri Lanka has increased security on Tamils fleeing.

Sounds fair, tis a complex problem and will require multiple inputs. The Labor PNG solution is a big part of those inputs. Labor always go hard on country shoppers and good on them, much harder than those softcock liberals. Cool

Yes, leftards, but they are stopping, they are stopping, and they will be stopped, you have to admit that. Only Mr Abbott can stop the boats. Say what you’ll do and do what you say, that’s Mr Abbott’s motto. Under-promise and over-deliver. Sensible, reliable, stable, predictable, honest and trustworthy government, steady as she goes, the grown-ups back in charge.

And thank heavens for that.

"This represents a 70 per cent decline on last December, when there were 1149 (arrivals) on 20 boats - so far this is the lowest number of arrivals in December for five years," Mr Morrison said in a statement.

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
".

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 verdict

There 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.

All governments treat the 1 out of 10 who end up being country shoppers the same way: the claim is denied, all appeals are exhausted, and they are deported.

What did your pm, Cameron, have to say about Sri Lanka?

But no you're right, let's listen to the government that is the one with human rights violations hanging over it's head for abusing and killing the very same people that are trying to flee.
