I write this with trepidation.


Could it be a last minute ploy to appeal to racist Australia?


...


or is there truth in this statement, in this policy?


Really Long Link




Not happy, Kevin.

Stupid ploy by the right wing faction of the NSW Liberal party.

Impossible to believe that the two wifes knew nothing about this.
"Darling I am just ducking out for a few hours"
"What are those paper you have stren all over the house."
"What papers you didn't see nothing."
"Okay have fun."

While I am a firm believer in multi-cultural immigration, it has served us well so far, I think we do need some deterrant in place, to stop illegal traders giving people false hope of queue jumping, by turing up in a boat, without identification, claiming to be refugees.

Obviously, with this, there should be humane and decent treatment, which the incumbent government has failed totally in, and I think once people who have been checked out for terrorism, and they are ok, they should be allowed to live in the community until their application has been approved.

In the populace, they should be allowed to work too, so they are not a drain on friends and government purse.

I have a friend who is a refugee, he is a Buddhist monk from Tibet, and he would most certainly be subjected to torture etc if he returned, due to his work spreading the news about China's abuses in Tibet.

However, he just got his 3 year special vias approved, but, he is not allowed to do any work!!! It is utterly ridiculous!

cheers

Ahh foggy. I wish I had the time to respond in full to your post.

There's a great analogy in response to your first point.

In a burning house, do you ask the people inside to go out the front door, if there's a serious chance that they risk their lives to exit in the conventional manner?

or do you forgive them if they choose to jump out the window?
queue jumpers are not necessarily criminals.

We cannot paint all refugees and asylum seekers with the same brush, without knowing the situation and the political context from which they flee. Not everyone who reaches our shores should do so with fear of incarceration.

I agree with everything else you said but warn you that the terrorists we should be wary of are not coming here in boats. They're being supported by the current government.

I am not buying it and I suspect a few other hand were involved than a few misfits.
It is a bit like the Abu Graibe defense.
"We got the bad apples now."
Pull the other one.

But I think partisan loyalties change how some may view the matter.

We shall see how things turn out tonight in that particular seat.
