Caused great distress to all those on board the plane and he had to be tied up

He is not the only person causing distress, our Government is causing enormous distress to those detained.

How would you feel if you were escaping a war torn country and then end up on a plane that a man threatened to blow it up? 

I would be terrified. 

I am all for people protesting and demanding better treatment (although the people on Naru really have to blame themselves after they burnt down their accommodation and they have to stay in tents) but to make a bomb threat on a plane is totally unacceptable. 

..... I also think we need faster processing. They are here now and need to be dealt with.

But I hope that that man does not get approved. He is not the sort of person I want to live in this country. If he does not get what he wants he thinks it is ok to go to extremist behaviour. 

And also DH it was the Labor governemnt that set up this mess... it is up to the LNP to fix it.

shame on everyone who made these desperate people scapegoats be it for political reasons or any reason.

Those who rejoiced and blamed Rudd and Gillard and said that they had blood on their hands when lives were lost, those who shouted out loud messages like multiculturalism is ruining this once great democratic country of ours (do we go back hundreds of years?) , that our economy is in dire straights and these people are to blame,those who grabbed any headline they could to instill fear and hatred and promote a stereotypical Asylum seeker/ terrorist connection.

All those who encouraged a shift in attitude and a false emergency ...which became an election issue and indeed winner

Another unfounded rumour bordering on an out an out LIE.. Or can you offer some actual proof of this......   

If anything this govt has a far stonger relationship with Indonesia than Megaphone diplomacy  labor did as like the Indonesia govt they dont run to the press every 10 minutes like LOOK AT MEEEEEEE Labor did..... 

I do suggest that you as you are so concerned with Indonesia and their people and lifestyle etc that a move there should be considered by you..... You may be far happier living the life there and that way you wont have to worry about bad Australia

You can't be serious nero, the government was not very diplomatic over the phone tapping, they don't seem to grasp the concept that boats being returned is not acceptable or agreed to, the list is longer but I only write small sentences 🙂

DY:  "the list is longer but I only write small sentences"

Add these to your list:

Pacific Solution scrapped by Rudd
