I'm not surprised at this propaganda. These jurno's can find hidden people smugglers oversea's with out government assistants but cant locate an illegal people smugglers boat once it arrives in our own country, surprise, surprise Cheesy

Short of staking out a beach somewhere and hoping they're in the right place, there is no way for reporters to get such news.

That the government should suppress news is a serious threat to an open society and suggests they know their policy isn't going to work.

Now that's a naive statement if ever there was one. I guess the media in this country doesn't realise that paying people to supply them with information doesn't work. Grin

paying people leads to disinformation and speculation .... they shouldn't need to pay the government should be honest and upfront.

And you know this how? Do you think ASIO doesn't pay people for information? Do you think the police don't pay people for information?

Signora, you need to get out of the kitchen more. Grin

Abbott demonstrates his commitment to democracy and open government by implementing a news blackout on boat arrivals.

Seems Abbott just wanted to stop the boat news - not the boats themselves:

He could hide it behind the ALP-inspired Finkelstein enquiry into the media. Seems like one attempt to noble the media is lauded by the ALP claquers but the same group is against another mob attempting to noble the media.

The ALP, the progressive party, the party of ideas, the workers' friend, is the only Australian political party to roast four young Australians in roof cavities. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

Good move, Mr Abbott. Those announcements about boat arrivals do nothing more than provide fodder for the media on slow news days and serve no constructive purpose other than to rile the overly excitable in the community.

You bought the lie.

The boats have not stopped at all. We're just being made to THINK they've stopped coming because the new government will not tell us about boat arrivals.

Are you suffering some form of mental disability ??? Were you not loved as a child? Perhaps dropped on your head?

It is not self recommendation, it is common sense. Something you are severely lacking.
