There are 6,000 asylum seekers in Indonesia.  We could absorb them all easily, teach them English and get them to work.  

Most of the asylum seekers who get legally settled here are intelligent and skilled.  A friend of mine, a doctor from Afghanistan, is being fast tracked in her medical training in hospitals in QLD because she is so very clever.  We have engineers, architects, lawyers, linguists here from other countries and a lot of them are driving taxis or cleaning offices ... 

Australia is spending BILLIONS of dollars keeping the asylum seekers out instead of giving them a bit of support and then collecting their tax dollars.
