It's not my business to put up a policy or give that verge.

It is my business to support the denouncement by Amnesty of the shameful solution offered up last week by the ALP.

Its unlike you to put up someone elses thoughts without adding your own.

If you support AI's position it means you obviously dont support the ALP's.

You dont think it begs the question, if you dont like the ALP's, then who's do you like?

Amnesty International has no intention to run at a profit - and once it has paid its bills - it then spends its funding into fighting for human rights around the world.

So, what does the expression 'not for profit' many organisations are described as, mean?

.

That it does not seek to run a profit following the paying of its Operating Expenses to be distributed or retained for the benefit of its owners.

Amnesty like all not for profit organizations will pay its bills from its funding and then seek to re-invest its remainder in achieving its aim of tackling human rights abuses.

Amnesty International - which has no skin in the game on an AU election - is a much better yardstick on the treatment of refugees than the AU Labor Party which is seeking to win an election.

Unlike some of your previous comments on this topic? They weren't shameful?

Because the people who turn up on the boats are urchins who can't afford any better.
They are the low level pond life who I am happy to contribute to making their lives better where they are in the 3rd world but I would rather not have to share my country with them thank you.

Don't we have enough deadbeats without importing other people's trash?

Yes, you are right, but many people mis-interpret it to mean they do not make a profit at all when in truth, many of them make massive profits upon which they generally do not pay tax on the basis that they use that money to further their 'charitable' aims, AFTER they have paid their staff* quite handsomely, and in some cases I know, they pay in a most corrupt manner. *These people will generally be the creators of said organisation.

Its okay Andre, we already know your position;

Why not just ignore the UN Convention and send back every boat - no matter who is on it?

Why be so tolerant? It only lands us in trouble and packs the country more with taxi drivers.

Here's the question and you answer it if you like or leave it rhetorical -

If people are trying to reach Australia and they are drowning on the way.
If Australia has not invited them, or has no idea they are even coming.

Then why is it Australia's problem in any way?
