Rubbish people, Andrei. Shoeshiners. Goatherders. People you'd rather see drown than come to Australia. Remember? "These are not our people".

Which is strange because you don't have anything to do with Australia. You live in the US, you vote in the UK, and you identify yourself as a Boer.

Too true.

Are you going to take my bet that the boats stop by Friday, or are you going to continue to play the good Samaritan?

All smoke and mirrors there my friend.
I share the concern about dumping thousands of people on a country which is already impoverished and has its own human rights issues as it is.

So you're prepared to take them into your house?

Funny how we've switched sides, isn't it?

"humanitarians" like our mate Buzz now support the placing of refugees on a third world nation with human rights issues.

This is about electioneering and it stinks to high hell.

From the "humanitarian" view - I don't "support" it in the SLIGHTEST
But since the matter of refugees was so SHAMELESSLY turned into a LEFT vs RIGHT issue by John "we will decide who comes here" Howard - we aren't given too many options

... and I agree, it DOES "stink to high hell"

Under THIS plan there will be REAL processing centres - that are not just a front for prisons, offering NO HOPE of anything but a life behind razor wire - such as the "Pacific Solution"

A refugee, once processed as genuine - will be a FREE MAN, albeit, not in the best choice of country

One FREE of car bombs, white vans - and the Taliban

And an Australia - FREE of Tony Abbott

( ... and you don't think refugees are fleeing from FAR WORSE "human rights issues ?)

Sending refugees to PNG has some similarities to history:

Madagascar Plan

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madagascar_Plan

Quote:

The Madagascar Plan was a proposal of the Nazi government of Germany to relocate the Jewish population of Europe to the island of Madagascar. Franz Rademacher, head of the Jewish Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the Nazi government, proposed the idea in June 1940, shortly before France's defeat in the Battle of France. The proposal called for the handing over of Madagascar, then a French colony, to Germany as part of the French surrender terms.

"The announcement of the Australian Government to no longer process displaced asylum seekers in its own territory and to send them to Papua New Guinea is an incredibly disappointing turn of events.

Amnesty has at its disposal numerous recent reports from PNG and we continue to note poor treatment of human rights particularly women and vulnerable people, which the Government is unable to prevent.

Australia - a first world country - choosing to literally dump thousands of desperate and vulnerable people onto a country, which despite being a signatory to the UN Human Rights Convention, has chosen to opt out of signficant articles on freedom of movement, social housing provision, employment rights and paths to permanent residence - is one which has all the hallmarks of pandering to short term domestic public opinion.

This new policy of Australia shows scant regard for the plight of some of the most desperate people in this part of the world and complete contempt for its international obligations both legally and morally.

This day should be regarded as the one in which Australia decided to turn its back on desperate people, closed the door and threw away with the key.

Amnesty International unreservedly condemns this decision."

Statement - Amnesty International - Australia

Smell the fear from this filthy hypocrite who says refugees are nothing but shoe shiners. Typical rightard, no wonder you are despised by most every day Australians.

If only the UN had thought of this, in the creation of a "Jewish state"

Andrei,
they don't go to new cities - they come here to Melbourne or Sydney.

China has 1.4 billion people.

And you think they should take more?

why not? your argument regarding CO2 emissions has always been about EVERYONE doing their bit and so China should do the same. After all there are hundres of millions of chinese living elsewhere so how about taking 50 million back?

and all you would do is have the endless enmity between the original madagascarans and the Jews. Or did you not think of that?
