Peopls Smugglers Already Making New Plans.

[icyfroth]

Good Morning All.

Oh well we had a few refreshingly light-hearted threads yesterdayn now back to politics lol

"For   between $US15,000 ($16,350) and $US25,000 per person - three to five  times the average boat fare -  they will  fly them from Indonesia to Thailand or  Malaysia, then to Australia on a genuine but altered passport, probably from  Europe.

The smugglers say their proposal avoids the Papua New Guinea solution and the  opposition's temporary resettlement plan."

Fly In Smuggle Plan

Iranian Binai Abdu Samad  said many people  ''already came here [to  Indonesia] with illegal passports …   now a smuggler is saying, 'We'll prepare  for you a tourist visa.'

''When you get to Australia, you cut the passport and go to immigration and  say I am a refugee. They can't send you back then,'' he said. ''And you will get  a lawyer with the smuggler's help.''

Another young Iranian, Ali Bahrani, agreed:  ''Some of the single people from  Pakistan now are just talking about this.'' He had heard a price of $US25,000  and said it was designed because ''in Australia, the rules are just for  boats''.

Because the sums are so large, the  money would be held in a trust with a   third party   and released to the smuggler only when the asylum seeker was on  Australian territory.

It's all just business as usual isn't it?

Yes, but it appears they are not allowed to use any of that wealth the save themselves or their families. 

I always thought I was working hard and accumulating wealth for my family, but it appears not.  I wonder what the refugee haters would do if they were in that position?  I suppose they would just form an orderly queue?

Of course, and leave their money in the bank.

Do you understand the purpose of brackets?  Do you understand why the word "and" is used?  Did you read the many posts before?

Sorry Allie, but the 'and others' kind of reads to me as though the asylum seekers are illegals 'as well' .

I actually thought that when I read it earlier.I know that you wouldn't mean it to read that way though

Oh please bring back the ignore feature!
