Another boat yesterday with 39

[donnashuggy]

It sank and those on board were rescued, somewhere near Christmas Island.

Just wanted to do my bit as the media won't tell us till Friday I suppose.

He said he was going to stop the boats, he can't and he isn't

trying doesn't cut it when you say  you are going to stop them several thousand times, use it as a slogan to win an election then fail.

Not being fair with the previous government and expecting to be treated fairly when the shoe is well on the other foot.

I'm not over it crikey, Abbott needs to be held account for his Lies and this is just one of many

What did he lie about?  He vowed to stop asylum seeker boats in term one of Coalition government.

He also said the Opposition policies on border protection would make a difference from day one.  They have.

Did anyone actually believe he meant the boats will stop coming from day one?  Really?

What are the other lies he is being accused of?

[donnashuggy]

So we have to wait 3 years?

You added the one term meep, he used slogans/lies to win and the dumbies believed him.

Day one passed months ago, there were less boats in the 8 week lead up to the election under rudd.

Can we save the other lies for a different thread?

I added it because that was what he said. 

You said the lie about stopping the boats was one of many.  I simply asked what they were.

the lie is the topic of this thread

Mymum, your not Peta Credlin by any chance?

no, but is this supposed to be a PM bashing thread or one about 39 people's lives being saved?

I don't "do" politics too much, but I am interested in asylum seekers.

Maybe if he did lie he chaged the definition or something? it's not like PM's haven't done that before to suit their purpose...

(dunno who peta is either and I'm too lazy to google)

I'm pretty sure we've been told for the last few months he lied about this, every day i reckon... we know

(I have no idea what his promise actually was BTW,) as I said I'm not positive I want the boats stopped, I hope we can get as many people here as possible, preferably without them being in danger, but hey, that's their choice I guess if there are no other options

but I do agree with off shore processing (though was shocked at the tents on Nauru when I learned that today) I'm also a bit pissy about people complaining about the type of care we do give to those we do manage to help.

anyway, is this thread about 39 people who were saved or a chance to rehash what's been said over and over again for the last few months if it's the latter, then I best be off.

I just want to know what is being done to help

So all the times he said "stop the boats" he is forgiven because a handful of times he said (and nobody heard) that it was going to be in one term, that is rubbish!
