Rudd making comeback.

 The reason that the boats were 'stopped at the source' had far less to do with political manouvers in oz and a lot to do with less refo's needing to get out of thier country at that particular time.

all the do -goders should sponsor a family of rag heads  by taking them in their home for a min. period of 5 years at no cost for the government . How does that sound ?

…offensive

Where's the fascist filter when you need it?

[211kawasaki]

even the "handle" is offensive when taken in context with content.

Why should we acept refugees (and I say this loosely as they all seem to have plenty of money) from Indonesia and spend a motza on them when we cant even look after our own.......Aboriginies come to mind.....fark em off....get our own house in order and then maybe we can take some of these so called refugees......

Is there some reason we can't do both?

Cheers

That's a very sad and disappointing reply Walter. Shame.

I think that might be enough on this topic.
I started it because of the joke that the Labor party and sadly our country had become.
The assylum debate will never be resolved and will always be a emotive issue.
Let's move on.

And that's what disappoints me Steve...yep, the Labor Party have let us down on many levels but to think or even hint that our country has become a "joke" is naive and wrong. Our comparitively wealthy lifestyle quality and political stability have placed us as the 'poster society' for people in other countries to strive for. If you think Australia is a joke, go visit any European country, the USA or just about any other western country and you'll see just how lucky we are.

We're doing just fine .

Lock it up Slidey before it gets even uglier… 

[pancho]

 Nah, sheel be right, we all just need to take a deep breath, regularly.

[Curly3]

Point taken, wrong phrase.
We would look like a joke if Rudd was returned to PM.
If our leaders, whichever, continue making dumb decisions and throw good money after bad relying on our resources boom, it won't take long and we won't be sitting so pretty.
I know what you mean 42 but if I do that I'll cop a bagging from some.
Not that that concerns me a great deal but maybe one of the Mod's will do it.
I love a sunburnt country.

 I love a sunburnt country
 A land of sweeping plains
 But over run with greenies
 And nerds with shit for brains.

just has a quick read, good stuff firko and 2seven. 'go back to where you came from' on sbs should be compulsory viewing for all. we have got it so so so good in australia. we have got nothing to really complain about. there is only one race the human race.

Imagine what the place would be like with competent people , on all levels of government , running the place.

Doing fine ?
We could do brilliant.
I despair at some of the decisions made.
Posting plans for all our military bases on line

That's a good one , will save other country's having to employ spies.
