Just like the British did.
Yep and that doesnt make it right ..... Hopefully we have learned something is the past 200 odd years, perhaps not

The British convicts sent over here had no choice in the matter. They endured starvation and great hardship under colonial rule, to try and make a living out of a land they had no knowledge of.
Aborigines first helped, then fought back when they realised their traditional living was being threatened.
History is kind of repeating itself.

True, the convicts had no choice but those who brought them and also the free settlers who arrived were able to make a choice. I dont agree with what happened back then, but hopefully we have learned and moved on from then.
At this point in time the are over 100,000 homeless folk in Au ( that figure is prob mush higher ), 100's of farmers are in real trouble, many people cant afford their food, electricity etc, rental housing is a crisis point, there is very little work around especially for blue collar workers etc., etc. Yet the bleeding hearts still think we should let every one who decides to come to Au to live, stay here. It doesnt work that way, in that we need to look after our own people first BEFORE we take in one more refugee.

Perhaps those who want us to allow anyone to come here needs to watch a few docos re farmers selling their breeding stock, dairy cattle being sent to slaughter, farmers walking off their land etc., all because they cant afford to keep going. Our dairy industry is in crisis, dairy farmers are walking away in droves, cause the price they receive for their milk is so low, they cant afford to keep going ..... These probs need to be attended to and sorted out way before we worry about helping more refugees.

How can tropical paradise Christmas Island be that bad compared with suburban living for the bottom 1/3 struggle class ?
