Title: Tony claims victory on boat people
Post by bogarde73 on Oct 31st, 2013 at 1:21pm
Tony Abbott declares Government has 'closed floodgates' on asylum seeker arrivals

By chief political correspondent Emma Griffiths

Posted 30 minutes ago


Mr Abbott says the number of people arriving on boats has plunged to just 10 per cent of the number under the previous Labor government.

"Under the former government in July, arrivals were at the rate of 50,000 a year," he told a press conference in Melbourne.

"The trickle had become a flow; had become a flood.

"Well, I'm pleased to say that the floodgates are closed, the boats are stopping."

Mr Abbott said there was "still a long way to go" but he was confident the boats "will be stopped".




According to official numbers released at weekly briefings, 10 boats have arrived, carrying 544 asylum seekers, since the government's Operation Sovereign Borders came into effect in September.

There has been a marked fall in boat arrivals in recent weeks, but Labor is also claiming some of the credit lies with its offshore settlement policy, announced just weeks before the election.

The Government has also begun high-level talks with the Iranian government to return asylum seekers whose refugee claims have been rejected by Australia.

Iran currently refuses to accept involuntary returns but the government is negotiating to change that.

"I'm not going to comment on the details of discussions and which particular country we're talking about on which particular issue," Mr Abbott said.

"But you'll understand that we are talking to everyone that we need to talk to in order to ensure that the message goes out to the people smugglers and their customers that the game is up."

Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop raised the issue with her Iranian counterpart in New York last month and plans to discuss it again in official talks tomorrow in Perth at the Ocean Rim Association for Regional Cooperation meeting.

The number of Iranian nationals arriving by boat has doubled, with more than 5,000 making the journey in the past year.

Earlier this year, her former Foreign Affairs Minister Bob Carr said the majority were "economic migrants".

In Labor's case, it's both. They have no brains and no faith that offshore processing would work. They've been proven wrong on that one - not once, but TWICE! First by Howard & now by Abbott. Sadly, the ALP and Lefties will NEVER learn...

As far as I know they are running Labors policy.

Umm, no. Labor was vehemently against offshore processing from day one of Rudd's first stint as PM. Hence his dismantling of the Pacific Solution. They only partially and tentatively re-introduced offshore processing in a half-arsed way when they finally realised that their way was doomed to fail. Even then, they clung to the idea that offshore processing was wrong. So no, this isn't Labor policy. It's long-held Coalition policy. Consider yourself educated...

OOOHHH, so we just concentrate on something that happened 6 years ago.

We ignore the fact that LABOR has reopened Manus & Naru & now PNG.
We just ignore that any boat people are now processed offshore as per LABOR
We just ignore that people arriving by boat now will not be resettled in Aus no matter their status, again as per LABOR policy.

(Please don't confuse the above with praise for Labor, they are frankly worse than you smacking racist losers of the coalition, at least you wear your fears on your sleeve.)


We just ignore EVERYTHING & say
WELL DONE TONY

Title: Re: Tony claims victory on boat people

The only reason Labor couldn't stop people smuggling is because the far leftists that dominate that party didn't want it stopped. An issue that want on for years has been crushed in little over a month. I can't look at that rat faced  Chris Bowen. What a failure of a minister he was. If he remains in the Labor Party it will hold them back getting re-elected.

True, but Mr Abbott hasn't got around to buying the boats or turning them back just yet.

Don't worry, leftards, he will.

After he's stopped them.

You were right when you said they are scared. They are scared of blowing their money and not getting citizenship. They are not hideous, just economic opportunists.

Anyone that can get to Sweden from Syria will be given asylum & then permanent residence with family reunion. Good luck with that one.
So why don't you lefties advocate that for anyone that
can get here from anywhere?

You leftards need to understand just how dangerous these people are. They are a threat to our way of life. They are invading our borders, spreading disease and raising our risk of terrorism. Some of them even eat curry.

Rudd's leftard policy of blowing boat people's money and not giving them citizenship is finished. Mr Abbott will see to that.

Mr Abbott's policy is to buy the boats and send them back. Actually, maybe that's more like hire-purchase, but it's irrelevant.

Yeah? Are you sure that the billions of dollars wasted on running those detention centres and Centrelink payments to these economic migrants couldn't be put to better use on Australians in need of help instead? Like more doctors or nurses or better roads, etc? Does wanting to help my own people first make me a xenophobe? Does wanting my government to decide who comes here make me a xenophobe? Does wanting to keep out previously eradicated diseases such as TB make me a xenophobe? No, it just makes you naïve and ignorant.

Labor only reopened processing centres in neighbouring countries because Christmas Island was at breaking point. People were being processed offshore prior to Rudd becoming PM but when he reinstates offshore processing, he's our saviour? Give me a break! Did you bump your head today and forget that the last Coalition government had a policy of not resettling everyone in Australia? Labor did a spectacular backflip on this issue, a very big ME2 in terms of policy and yet STILL couldn't get the same results that Abbott and Morrison are now getting. Clearly, we're going to have to drip-feed this to you as your obviously incapable of taking in facts in large doses.

So you consider 500 people in two months to be a failure of some sort when Labor was receiving 1500-2000  per month? You consider that a 90% drop in the number of arrivals is a failure? You're living in a make-believe world!

Only Mr Abbott can STOP THE BOATS. That’s the policy. He’s sent the message out that Australia is open for business again, and he says (and I quote):

They are stopping, they are stopping, and they will be stopped.

If the leftards don’t like it, they can eat FriYay’s biscuit.

I beg to differ, Sprint. Mr Abbott hasn’t had the time to employ new immigration officers or radically improve Immigration’s productivity.

No, credit where credit’s due.  Mr Abbott’s done it all on his own.

Bubby's upset cause there's no more boat people. :'( :'(


not sure how you came to that conclusion ... 500 asylum seekers since sept. is not 'no boats'.


So you consider 500 people in two months to be a failure of some sort when Labor was receiving 1500-2000  per month? You consider that a 90% drop in the number of arrivals is a failure? You're living in a make-believe world!


I didn't say anything about success or failure .... whats the matter your medication has worn off? I said it is not 'no boats'.

Nice attempt at re-writing history. Even Labor isn't saying THEY stopped the boats. They are claiming credit for SOME of the policies, but that's all. The truth is that the boats kept on flooding in under Rudd but within weeks of Abbott becoming PM, the boats have slowed to a trickle. From 2000 a month to 500 in two months. That's a success in anyone's language and it has little or nothing to do with Labor.

MORE "sh!t happens" in Afghanistan
April 3, 2009


TOUR Gul travelled halfway around the world to escape Afghanistan. An enemy of the Taliban, he was convinced he was a target. But in 2002, Australia rejected his plea for asylum and sent him home to his death.

"He was worried. He knew the Taliban would kill him but the government refused him," said his friend, Salem Haideri.

Mr Gul's death late last year made front-page news in Afghanistan. "A famous leader has been killed innocently, in cold blood by the the anti-Islamic forces," said the Governor of Maidan Wardak province, Mohammed Halim Fedaie. The killing of Mr Gul and another asylum seeker, Mohammed Hussain, have prompted renewed calls for Afghans denied refugee status under the former government to have their cases reopened.

The Age last week revealed four rejected asylum seekers from Afghanistan who travelled on the Tampa have now been found to be genuine refugees, after they risked a second boat trip with people smugglers.


One of the men, Asmatullah Mohammadi, said 11 asylum seekers on Nauru had been killed by the Taliban after they were sent back to Afghanistan.

The director of social justice agency the Edmund Rice Centre, Phil Glendenning, who spent six years travelling the world to investigate the fate of rejected asylum seekers, said he believed 11 deaths was a conservative figure.

Labor only reopened processing centres in neighbouring countries because Christmas Island was at breaking point. People were being processed offshore prior to Rudd becoming PM but when he reinstates offshore processing, he's our saviour? Give me a break! Did you bump your head today and forget that the last Coalition government had a policy of not resettling everyone in Australia? Labor did a spectacular backflip on this issue, a very big ME2 in terms of policy and yet STILL couldn't get the same results that Abbott and Morrison are now getting. Clearly, we're going to have to drip-feed this to you as your obviously incapable of taking in facts in large doses.



Like I said teaspoon, regardless of who 1st thought of the idea,

1) Labor stopped offshore processing
2) Labor re introduced offshore processing
3) Liberals never had a policy of no settlement in Australia regardless of refugee status if arrival by boat, they refused to take ALL of those on the TAMPA.
BIG DIFFERENCE
4) Tony has name changed & cut the supply of information to the Australian Public, please explain how these 2 measures slowed boats.
5) So you can thank Kevin Rudd for the slowing of boat arrival NOT Tony Abbott.

That must gall you eh ;D


Yet we had upwards of 1800 people arriving monthly under Labor. Since the month of September, barely 500. Take that!


Well derrrrrrrr
Kevin stopped the boats, of course arrivals have fallen.
Now if you want me to give Tony at pat on the back as John says tell us how he has done it.

Again I'll add Im not championing Rudd/Labor, he's as pathetic as Abbott, pandering to your fear and preconceptions.


The threat of TB and other previously eradicated diseases being re-introduced into Australia is very real. Just last year a government-contracted pilot due to fly a plane load of illegal immigrants to the Australian mainland refused to take off because one passenger had TB. Luckily for all of us, the pilot was very conscientious and responsible in his duties and the plane did not depart. It's not a scare campaign, the fear is very real and the threat very real.

It's 500 people and dropping, actually. There has been a 90% drop in boat arrivals - DOWN from 1500 to 2000 a month to a mere 500 arrivals in two months (or 250 a month). Who da fvckwit? You da fvckwit!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

MORE "sh!t happens" in Afghanistan
April 3, 2009


TOUR Gul travelled halfway around the world to escape Afghanistan. An enemy of the Taliban, he was convinced he was a target. But in 2002, Australia rejected his plea for asylum and sent him home to his death.

"He was worried. He knew the Taliban would kill him but the government refused him," said his friend, Salem Haideri.

Mr Gul's death late last year made front-page news in Afghanistan. "A famous leader has been killed innocently, in cold blood by the the anti-Islamic forces," said the Governor of Maidan Wardak province, Mohammed Halim Fedaie. The killing of Mr Gul and another asylum seeker, Mohammed Hussain, have prompted renewed calls for Afghans denied refugee status under the former government to have their cases reopened.

The Age last week revealed four rejected asylum seekers from Afghanistan who travelled on the Tampa have now been found to be genuine refugees, after they risked a second boat trip with people smugglers.


One of the men, Asmatullah Mohammadi, said 11 asylum seekers on Nauru had been killed by the Taliban after they were sent back to Afghanistan.

The director of social justice agency the Edmund Rice Centre, Phil Glendenning, who spent six years travelling the world to investigate the fate of rejected asylum seekers, said he believed 11 deaths was a conservative figure.

Why thank Rudd?
As the boats were still pouring in daily until the election, and his PNG solution only affected single males anyway.
The rest remained on Christmas Island.
Rudd's half hearted policy was doomed to fail.
Labor never had their hearts in it from the start.

Yeah, Krudds PNG solution was unravelling rapidly, and the details never did not match the rhetoric (as it never did for 6 years)

But hey, its just soooooo hard for the haters to admit that their nemesis, namely PM Abbott, has rubbed their dribbling faces in it.

It is the same sort of idiot and superficial mindset that allows a lefty in all sincerity to declare the United States is worse than North Korea in human rights.
