Tell you what Greens win, why don't we throw open the borders and import all the refugees in the world, maybe about a billion, would that be enough for you?

There are currently about 42.5 million displaced people in the world.

Hyperbole from red? Never!

BAGHDAD — In a mass exodus, around 30,000 Syrians have fled their homeland’s bloody civil war over the past five days and streamed across the border into neighboring Iraq’s northern self-ruled Kurdish region, the UN refugee agency said Monday.

Makes the whinging on here by some look p!ss poor......

I would give them all a temporary protection visa and allow them to return when their stronger people over throw the government. They would have to be in custody until I could figure out who they are and they would take some places of others but I would up the numbers for such incidence.

Currently, people in most countries would like to stay in Australia, many of them deserve it, but funnily enough, we only see those, who don't deserve it, some ppl like Truecolours! Who constantly blames the Brits, yet continue to live in this "chaos".
If a country is in the mess, it's a strong indication of a bad management by the PEOPLE of this country, government is the THIRD PARTY.

If GST rises by 5%, then your income must also rise by 5%. Which means you will either become unemployed or underpaid. Choose wisely

what do we do then?

What we do now is not live our lives according to unlikely hypothetical situations.

There's no guarantee that there will even be a tomorrow.

Don't stress over something that:

a) may never happen

b) you have no control over
