If Abbott interferes with Rudd's policy if and when he gets into government, it will show him to be a complete hypocrite.
So the Coaltion are to be forever stuck with Labor policies then Karnal.
Not in this lifetime anyway.
The Coalition have had their border protection policy tested years ago.
It works.
And when Rudds policy flops, it will change.
Nothing hypocritical about that.
Just common sense.
And if Labor's policy works, Abbott going back to the Pacific Solution - with offshore processing costing, what, about 2 billion dollars a year? - will seem like utter pigheadedness and hypocracy.
After all, he blamed Rudd for ditching the Pacific Solution. He's now going to dismantle the PNG fix?
He'll whinge now, but he'll keep every last bit of Rudd's plan.
It'll work too. It has to. Who's going to come to Australia to be sent to New Guinea?
You need to get out more Karnal.
Rudd's plan is doomed.
It has more holes in it than a packet of swiss cheese.
We've had 400 country shoppers arrive since Rudds grand announcement on Friday.
There not stopping at all.
Only single adult men are going to PNG, the married males, wives and children are still coming here despite Rudd's lie last Friday.
We will now see more leaky boats filled with women and children, and males supposedly married to a female on the boat.
Right now Christmas island is near capacity.
Right now as I sit here typing this country shoppers are being flown out of Christmas island to the mainland to make room.
$2 billion dollars a year, wrong Karnal.
It's $2.2 billion right now and rising thanks to Rudd.
The last year of the Howard government was costing $100 million and falling only.
Why I hear you ask?
Because all the mainland detention centres with the exception of Villawood was closed, and a handful of people only were left on Nauru.
And closing down detention centres is what the Coalition has done before.
Labor only opens them up and builds more.
Another fine example of Rudd's policy on the run.
