Yes but why do you hate Asylum seekers so much? Why do you hate those that came in boats and were granted asylum?
I don't hate them, Donna. As you know, I wish that we could take everyone, that our resourses were sufficient to provide everyone the benefits of living in Australia that I am so blessed to receive.
But here's the thing that I just can't get over, and it's weird for me because I favour the "user pays" and "open market" ideologies of Capitalism, but just because the people who arrive by boat have money, it means they get preference over those who don't. Why are their lives worth more? Why are those with no money to pay to get to our shores not valued as highly as those with money?
The people without the money are just as desperate and in just as much danger and in need of asylum and aid just as much as those who can pay.

Something I would like to understand is why the processing process takes so long. I understand it is often lengthened to allow for appeals. Without knowing too much about the process, I don't understand why we grant the opportunity for appeal. I think it wshould be a one shot scenario, maybe one appeal, but with a time limit of say 1 to 2 years?
I think we should have a set number awaiting processing, and as they are processed, the next people in place can come.
If we shorten the time for processing, it will be kinder for everyone, both those who are granted access and those who are refused. At least they will know, and not spend years with their lives on hold in hope.
It would also free up a lot of costs for us which could inturn be used to process more people.
There must be a reason why it takes so long, I just wish I knew what it was.
Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.
