Today, the 700th illegal boat arrived under Labor’s watch

[nero_bolt]

The latest arrival of two vessels carrying 157 people takes the total number of illegal boats that have arrived on Labor’s watch past 700.

Over 42,000 people have arrived on 701 boats since the Rudd-Gillard Government dismantled the Howard Government’s border protection regime.

Labor’s decision to dismantle the Howard Government’s policies has put our country’s security at risk.

It has cost hundreds of lives lost at sea and resulted in thousands of people entering our communities without rigorous security checks.

Every illegal boat arrival cost Australians $12.8 million (on average) – and that’s money which could otherwise go to fund hospitals, roads and help repay debt.

It has seen border protection cost blowouts of more than $10 billion for a system that does not work – that’s money which could otherwise fund hospitals, roads and help repay debt.

Labor’s mismanagement has also included the detention of a convicted jihadist terrorist in low security family accommodation at Inverbrackie in South Australia.

This jihadist was a member of the terrorist organisation Egyptian Islamic Jihad, which merged with al Qaeda in 2001, many years before his arrival by boat.

With an average of 100 people now arriving every day, Australia cannot afford three more years of Labor failure.

Illegal boats, illegal immigrants or simply illegals: it's terminology the Federal Opposition uses regularly but experts in refugee law says such descriptions are deliberate misrepresentations.

Illegal boats, illegal immigrants or simply illegals: is Tony Abbott misusing the terms?

It's terminology the Federal Opposition uses regularly but refugee advocates and experts in refugee law says such

descriptions are deliberate misrepresentations designed to create a sense of panic or fear about people who arrive in Australia without a visa.

once again, how many of you are actually housing a refugee?

I take it you havent got an answer yet..

I will answer it for you as the bleeding heats wont..... NONE.. they have housed NONE and wouldn't house them... 

Its just easy for them to play the bleeding heart on here but actually putting their so called beliefs into action... it wont happen..... 

This is an INVASION and the doors are wide open and its costing us the Australian tax payer a FORTUNE..... 

This is our taxes being wasted and wasted and wasted...

Under Labor’s failed border protection policies, around 43,000 have arrived illegally by boat.

The number of people that have arrived now exceeds the population centres of some major Australian towns.

I'm about as sweet as you are. you also miss the point. any fool can see the asylum seeker issue is electoral poison, despite it being inflated somewhat. that's why i'm looking forward to it poisoning Abbotts tenure when he fails to deliver on promises he cannot keep 🙂
