Abbott and the conga line want people to die at sea that is why they refuse to back the government or the Greens policy. 100s if not thousands have now died because of Abbott and the conga line, I hope you are all happy with those people's deaths on your conscience , you are disgusting for encouraging these people's deaths.
if you really feel that it is about saving lives i would advocate this.
the $3 billion it is currently costing be used to carry out humanitarian aid in places like east timor (20 % childhood infection with filariasis) a fatal disease in later life.
new guinea, an immunization programme for hep b would cost 60 dollars a person and save slow fatal disease from liver failure in 40,000 a year.
malaria drugs for the solomon island. childhood malaria kills over 1000 a year in the most horrific of circumstances.
these countries are all closely involved with australias history.
could probably have about $2.5 billion left over to split up amongst the displaced lawyers and others in the assylum seeker industry which has now developed,
or are the children of timor, new guinea and the solomons , not as deserving as those who have fled oppression with just the shirt on their back (oh and a convenient $10,000 they must have won on the pokies as they made their way to indonesia)
