Boat arrivals

[*crikey*mate*]

Have any unauthorized boats carrying people with the intent to seek asylum in Australia arrived in the past few weeks?

The majority voted for her, Crikey, in a thing called "elections"

Hopefully they'll deport abbott soon. After all, as an immigrant, he's broken the law and breached the lnp's own code of conduct for immigrants numerous times. Plus, I don't like him.

That prompts me to ask another question.

Who is in favour of allowing the current unlawful entry into Australia, by boat or any other means?

Stand up and be counted 🙂

i'm for allowing asylum seekers in, its legal to seek asylum just as its legal for morrison to twist the language.

---

is it illegal to arrive by unauthorized boat?

also, if everyone was ok with the boats coming, why were they so critical of Mr Abbott when the boats were getting here?

To me this all looks like a political point scoring opportunity to me, rather than a genuine concern for the asylum seekers.

It would appear that you are not in favour of the fact that the PM was not born in this country.

Don't be silly, I am married to a pom, he's a refo too 🙂

They let all types in here ya know!

I also thionk that the processing system needs to change.

The government isn't processing at all when they put them on a new raft to send them back

I don't agree with that, I have never said I did.

I can however see the reasoning.

We are still processing, just not those particular people.

It's a tricky situation, for any government.

But I do think that asylum seekers need to follow the processes that we put in place. We cannot help everyone who is in need of asylum, so we have to make a choice.

stopping now to prevent a scroller.

so we voted Mr Rudd in, then before his term was done we voted for him to leave and for Ms Gillard to take over?

Hiow has Mr Abbott broken the law?

The tag on the bottom of your posts, is that meant  for only the things you say, or  does it also include the things you write?

sorry.

as you were

That would be fine I suppose, they could wait in Africa for 500 years I suppose, do you know their life span? Or they could risk their lives and get here sooner, either way they are going to die.

Abbott is heartless and gutless, he is dealing with real peoples lives here.

See my post above Crikey with links to the legal precedents set. WE are breaking the law by refusing asylum seeker status

checks/application pre towback or removal to parent country.

The high court ruling was emphatic regarding that fact.
