2/3's of Aussies are biased/Un-Australian?
Feb 18^th, 2014 at 10:12am

http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/twothirds-of-voters-believ...

Two-thirds of voters, including more than half of all Coalition supporters, believe claims that the hands of asylum seekers were deliberately burned by border protection authorities should be investigated.

The Abbott government refuses to launch an investigation into the claims, and has criticised media organisations such as the ABC as ''malicious'' for reporting them. The result comes from the latest Fairfax-Nielsen poll conducted among 1400 voters across the country from Thursday to Saturday last week.

What's the issue with an investigation into this?

If they haven't lied/mislead us (cough) children overboard (cough) then they shouldn't have an issue with this.

What, did they do a poll in a leafy inner city suburb?

Who cares how a few country shopping blacks burnt their smacking hands.

Typical conga line always trying to cover up assault and wrongdoings. Hitler would have loved you.

Great news Abzi. Can we keep the ball rolling?

A 2005 Bulletin poll showed that most Australians supported capital punishment. The Australian National University's 2007 Electoral Survey found that 44 per cent of people thought the death penalty should be reintroduced - 38 per cent disagreed. Australia may not have the death penalty, but a sizeable part of the population supports its return.

May we acquiesce to the demands for a return of the death penalty?

While we are in a simpatico relationship with the great unwashed can we punt the asylum shoppers?

Quote:

Australians want asylum seekers returned

Last weekend’s multi-mode Morgan Poll shows 59% (down 5% since July 2010) of Australians say that Asylum seekers should be returned and apply through the normal refugee channels while 26% (unchanged) say they should be processed as now and 15% that can’t say or mention a different solution.
