Asylum Boat makes it to Darwin

Failed again Tony and Scott........this makes boat number 10, enough to start your own used boat business/racket.

Boat full of Somalian's makes it to Darwin and we will have to 'officially' find out about it on Friday when they have time to water it down.

Tony and Scotts used boats!

Come on in and find yourself a bargain!

You must be mistaken......... Mr Abbott said he was stopping the boats.

Fair's fair though az. Bumping into a very large land mass probably stopped it pretty quickly.

I thought the pink Myopics were keen to remember (relive) history!, with DY our chief historical scribe. I also do wonder if any above remember some of Rudd's media statements in 2007/2008, because I suspect that they do not (selective memories?).

Nov 2007
Mr Rudd said Labor would take asylum-seekers who had been rescued from leaky boats to Christmas Island, would turn back seaworthy vessels containing such people on the high seas

"You'd turn them back," he said of boats approaching Australia, emphasising that Labor believed in an "orderly immigration system" enforced by deterrence.

And for those who might like some more proof (????), here is a live recording of Rudd in 2007 wherein he declares:

".....out on the high seas what you would do is seek to turn them back under the agency of the Australian Navy...."

http://www.andysrant.com/2013/07/audio-of-kevin-rudd-saying-turn-back-the-boats-in-2007.html

So it would appear the ALP were the first to say they would turn back the boats, then in 2008, Rudd as Prime Minister scrapped the tough border laws (Pacific Solution) which had cut boat people arrivals to just 288 over the previous six years." The rest is history unless you have a selective pink memory.

Part of the problem was a large influx of Tamils from Sri Lanka which didn't exist when Honest John was at the helm.

LOL

"If they're out there on the high seas, what you would do is then seek to turn them back through the Agency of the Australian Navy."

"That is simply not possible under current circumstances"

Hahahahahahaahaha

Thanks for that MM. I actually completely forgot he said that.

They don't care about the boats,really, Monno, they're just gibbering on about them because they want so badly to see Mr Abbott to fail.

Re: Asylum Boat makes it to Darwin

lakeland27 — Wed, 13 Nov 2013 00:13:05 GMT

did rudd attempt to have any turned back after recieving better advice John ? did he pretend it was working ?

Rudd did not go to an election with that as his Main Policy Platform did he john ?
