For all the outraged luvvies. I posted this yesterday but it is appropriate here as well and couldn't be bothered retyping it.
But one question, where were you all and your protests when Labor introduced these laws? You clowns excuse anything of Labor. Where were the SIEV X hands on the hill protests under Labors watch and 1000 plus bodycount? Imagine if Liberals had introduced the PNG solution. You would still be wailing, as it was, hardly a smacking peep.
No respect for you lot at all. Not even the courage of your convictions. smacking pathetic and hypocritical.

After all, it is Labor not Liberals that have the history of being cruel to asylum seekers. Though you wouldn't know it from the luvvies.
Lets see they legislated mandatory detention, you can thank Keating for that, excised the mainland (despite previously describing it as "a stain on our national character", got rid of govt funded vocational and English lessons, no automatic access to the dole and in cases where it could be received, legislated that it be a lower amount, they stopped asylum seekers being allowed to work and just for giggles decreed that asylum seekers be sent for resettlement in PNG. All Labor.
What was it the great Labor man said? Oh yeah, "I'm not having hundreds of smacking Vietnamese Balts coming into this country with their religious and political hatreds against us!".
Some of you lefties need to get a grip on which party you try to demonise. Or maybe it is just ignorance of the facts.
