The boat people are back thanks to Albo & C0. Report just in about thirty boat people land undetected on far North West Australian coast at Beagle Bay.
 
Cheers mate, I'm glad that you and your family are in good hands.
The NDIS is the best thing that has happened to the wheelchair bound person that i look after, without it she would have no decent wheelchair, no transport, no physio, no OT, no cleaner, no leg braces, and a few other things. It just needs some streamlining and the rorters exposed

That fills my heart with joy Ralphie.

Medicare, Superannuation and the NDIS are three tremendous initiatives that have made All Australian lives better, we can thank the Labor party for that.

So you do not care one iota that to process & come a final decision on this latest illegal lot would be the vicinity of a million dollars. That mill is tax payers money & they not like paying taxes for the above.

So what do you propose? You realise these boats won't have locator beacons right? So how much money will it cost to monitor every square kilometre of coast line? How many billions of $'s of taxpayers money?

You have to accept that unless you spend countless billions, then you won't have a 100% infallible system. This goes for any type of security, whether thats border security, internet security etc. Ie. you accept a lower cost to fund it, but with a risk that something (or in this case someone) slips through the net.

The thing that gets me about the boats is that when politicians and others talk about the subject they never talk about those in the boats as people.
No one talks about what happens to these people who get turned around.
For every one of them that is an “economic refugee” that so many talk about there are 100s who are not, they are desperate people doing a desperate thing.
They are *smile* ing human beings with the same worth as any of us.
The lives lost at sea is a minute aspect of it, they are going back to nothing.
Governments never talk about attacking the problem, just the symptom which is refugees. The previous government spent billions on keeping people out and financed it by cutting aid and support to where they were coming from.
It’s not easy but never ever forget these are human beings we are talking about, not cattle

Another 13 arrive undetected at Pender Bay North West WA . Where is Border Force ? On leave in Melbourne at The G for Taylor Swift concert . Another mil to process . Oh it is only tax payers money so it is ok. Mean while thousands who want to migrate here through normal channels are knocked back.

Do you not know, that when the boats were stopped, the asylum seekers just jumped on planes, they've been coming here in their droves ever since.

You've been reading, listening and watching too much right wing news.

The below article is from 2019.

Nearly 100000 asylum seekers have arrived by plane to ...

Nah I reject all your responses as you are all definite True Blue Labor or Green as Grass apostles. Lets put aside your political leanings & realize the cold hard facts Illegals are arriving by boats again after previous Government stopped them. This saved lives & filling the pocket of ruthless people smugglers. Now Labor back in & the boats are back again. Does this concern you or are you just following the Labor blind eye response to the new boaties.
