Thank you Albo & Co for our ticket to the honey pot.

How will we cope? Not being complete *smile* to 12 desparate people might lead to the downfall of society as we know it.

Meanwhile hundreds of people seeking asylum arrive by plane (and have for many years) but those headlines aren’t as sexy as “stop the boats”
Somehow “stop the planes” doesn’t have the same ring to it
The side effect of this is "Stopping the Boats stops loss of life at sea plus stop fattening the wallets of people smugglers who do not give a rats if they sink ".

There's no doubt about ya Tigaman, boats have been rocking up continuously. This one slipped through the net and you blame Albo.


"Between 1 May 2022 - 31 May 2023, 9 boats with a total of 221 people on board were intercepted and returned to their departure point."

Faux concern for the refugees themselves. If those fixated on the boats issue were really concerned about them they would do something about support for the more than 60 million refugees and stateless people we have in the world but these same people are ones who cut foreign aid.
Those spouting this line couldn’t give a rats tossbag for the people who are refugees

Refugees yeah how many from across the ditch. They come here for a better life but they do not change their allegiance to their mother country.

@Tigaman

oh my God, 12 people - really, that’s such a strange statement I am afraid.

Were you equally upset each and every time a plane landed or are you still sucked in with the Abbott line.

“A government spokesperson said under the Coalition “more than 140,000 people arrived in Australia and lodged onshore protection visa applications”, leaving a “backlog in the protection visa program”.

In fact the graph below says it all really…..plane arrivals has been over 500 per month every month getting up to 2,500 per month at its peak - and your fretting about 12 people ……

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story year of the tiger. Conspiracies and conspiracy theories are all the rage, amazing how many people believe them.

thats just a bullcrap comment. "stopping the boats" has never been about saving lives. its about scaremongering and playing on people's xenophobia. The right are already playing the "terrorist" chestnut in regards to the Palestinian refugees.
