Turning back boats when it is safe to do so

[donnashuggy]

Is that what we are doing?

[cherry*135]

Tony spent $13 000 on a mat for Kirribilli house..he could have used that to buy a boat.

I am just appalled that he really is making statements about life boats...........

[*crikey*mate*]

Has it been said anywhere that we give them the boats? Just from the bit in here, it sounds to me like the boats will remain in our posession and "we" will be driving the boats to take the people back, probably because their's may have been sabotaged or unseaworthy to begin with etc. So, in this way, we are trying to do a humane thing, by returning them in safety iykwim.. But also making it unappealing too for those who may attenmpt.... If they get caught (or chage their minds like some did when they saw Manus Island) , no quick luxurious plane trip home for you, we're gonna make it as miserable as possible fior you.

They can't send em back if there is a chance their boat won't make it -  They'd get crucified

We can't really trust them to return on their own.

We're not going to let them stay

so maybe this is a way to get them back, make em think a bit harder if it's worth it to start with? Maybe help to sort out the genuine from the economic ones?

Let em sabotage their boats to sink em if they want, but when we rescue em, then we're just gonna put em back on a non luxurious boat, but at least seaworthy, and send em back the way they came.

If that's the thinking, I think that's ok.

A fleet of non luxurious ferries/life boats/water taxis assigned for this purpose. It'd be easier for security purposes and more convenient than having to prepare modes of transport we use for other things like the navy etc.

and they'd be less expensive to have sitting around than a purpose specific plane etc, less long term maintenance.

yada yada

nothing has been made clear that I can see

[ajarnjenny]

That poll result just reflects the audience. That would be like Alan Jones having a poll about if Julia Gillard should be put in a chaff bag and dumped at sea. Means nothing, If he took a poll, it would be 100% in favour of, because who else would be listening to the git?

[nero_bolt]

The poll results on ninemsn to this question 

Should asylum seekers be taken back to Indonesia?  www.ninemsn.com.au 

YES: 56028

NO: 6718  (about 12% of the yes vote) 

A resounding result so far reflecting the view of the majority of Australia and showing just how out of touch the greens, the left and labor luvvies are on this subject.

I'm just wondering if he has seen the price of petrol lately, He should have bought rowing boats.

Magic Carpets emit too much Co2, and we can't afford to pay the tax on that.
