Rescuing sinking boatfuls of illegals
Jun 10^th, 2013 at 2:59pm

The bleeding heart community are up in arms because our border patrol people didn't get there in time to save these peoples' lives.
I must be missing something.
It's our fault if these intending invaders climb on a worm-eaten hulk and set off on a trip to welfare paradise?
We are supposed to set aside resources sufficient to be on guard 24/7 over hundreds of thousands of square kms of ocean just in case they don't make it.
Get real!
Pay the man money to get here illegally, it's your lookout!

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

Didn't you know that is the sole purpose of the RAAF and Navy maritime surveillance budget is for just that reason.

When Abbott starts towing sinking boats back out the sea we're going to have to get used to dead bodies washing up on our northern shores so now is as good a time as any to start ignoring the pleas of drowning people.
We ignored the ships of Jewish refugees in the 30's and 40's so it shouldn't be hard to ignore these reffos

I vote that we do what the Iraqi police force is doing with suspects and kill them by drilling holes in their heads.

Like the bodies were washing up on our northern shores when Howard had them towed back?
I don't think it went like that at the time eh.
I do believe the boats stopped coming when the country shoppers realised they were doing their dough only to end up back in Indonesia.
As they will when Abbott repeats the exercise.

Less people died when the LIBs were towing boats back compared to what's happening under Labor

We now get in a week or less the same number of people Howard glad arrive in the entire time of the Pacific Solution. By any standard, no matter how low you want to set the bar, Labor's policy for dealing with these illegal immigrants has been a total, utter failure and a farcical embarrassment to not only Gillard and her incompetent government but also to this country, upon which people smugglers look at and laugh while counting the millions of dollars they make while running rings around our dumba$$ Immigration Minister. Forty thousand and counting since 2007 = EPIC FAILURE by Labor!!!!!!

Totally wrong. Under maritime law, we are obligated to provide any assistance necessary to anyone requesting it in our territorial waters and those in international waters. As for treating them as enemy combatants, that's simply ludicrous. They are unarmed and have not attacked either Australia or our interests and so we cannot treat them as anything other than people in need of our assistance.
