Angus Houston Report - Coalition was right!
Aug 13^th, 2012 at 3:08pm

Wow, what a blow to Gillard and Bowen! Angus Houston has reported to the government that the deal with Malaysia needs more work and that the government should IMMEDIATELY increase capacity at Nauru and Manus Island. Now we wait to see if Gillard will finally cave in and bring back elements of the Pacific Solution that have been proven to work - offshore processing, TPV's, turning back boats, etc. Time for Gillard and Bowen to admit they screwed up and do the right thing quick smart!

On shore prosessing means people pay to board leaking boats and die, why can't the compassionate Greens see this simple fact?

Now the real question is will she implement the report or ignore it? or just try and implement the Malayasia solution again?

This is the first time we've heard a non-politicised report on the issue, and one I'm inclined to take seriously.

Biggest losers here are the greens IMO. Its a classic case where pragmatism rules ideology.

Labor will cope flack for changing tact and following the report, but so will Abbott if he opposes any recommendations.

Reply #11 - Aug 13^th, 2012 at 4:15pm This report should not guide our politicians - the constitution should...the Parliament subject to the constitution...not a panel of outsourced experts...If they implement anything that undermines the constitutional rights of freemen they can be sued or challenged in the High Court...

errmm.. prolly because there's already one ongoing thread on this already. I for one don't see any need to post the same thing in multiple threads just because you goldfish can only think to keep echoing the same thought endlessly all day everyday.
