Think again.
The Department of Immigration does and has never had a hotline to the Ayatollah in Iran, or to the warlords in northern Pakistan, nor to terrorist held areas of Afghanistan, so how exactly did the department carry out any investigations when a country shoppers identity cannot be established.
It is simply not possible which is why Labor instigated it's 'benefit of the doubt' policy which the department used for many years to allow the asylum process to proceed and to move the people out of the overflowing detention centres.
Scott Morrison has previously called this practice dangerous, and stated that it impacts heavily on our national security.
Labor itself must have known this otherwise they would not have stopped asylum claims 12 months before the election.
Even Labor dunderclumpers must have realised at the time that allowing tens of thousands of 'benefit of the doubt' recipients to live in our communities was a stupid idea.
Which is now why the Coalition will not process claims for asylum from those who arrive illegally without passports which was what they stated before the announcement that no boat person would ever settle in this country.

Excellent point

This is why the TPV was in introduced

The illegals decide to call TPV inhumane

The Greens took this line, hook and sinker

This is why we should never allow the Greens anywhere near sharp objects

I don't know of anyone who does believe them.

Bob Carr doesn't believe them. "Country-shopping economic migrants" he called them.

"No evidence to support Foreign Minister Bob Carr's economic migrants claims

"On the available evidence, Senator Carr's claim that 100 per cent of recent arrivals are economic migrants is unsubstantiated.

"Neither his office, nor the department, has been able to produce any specific evidence to support the claim."

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-08-14/no-evidence-bob-carr-economic-migrants/482...

Since when has any government department provided such information to a media source.
It just doesn't happen.
The government does not have to substantiate anything to the media, and never will and is unlikely to do so in the future.
Governments don't work that way.
And just because they refuse to justify their claims does not mean what they claim isn't true.
He was the Foreign Minister who worked closely with the Immigration department on a daily basis, not the ABC.

So you are clearly deciding to believe your prejudice in the face of actual evidence.

Got facts this time or just passing through? Find one piece of evidence that actually supports his ridiculous claim and I'll be very surprised.

maqqa, the picture they paint is quite grim. the air-con is set at 22 and they'd prefer 21.
they have to play call of duty on xbox and most are trained on PS3.
they get the re constituted maple syrup on their ice cream, not the genuine canadian one.
theres only 1 human rights lawyer per illegal to come and hold their hand and coach them in PTSD symptoms.
they sometimes get nasty papaer cuts from the disability pension forms they have to fill in.

life is hell for the illegal Wink

Jakarta now finds itself in the self-inflicted situation of having 'stocked up' on country-shoppers heading for Australia who Abbott has now made stranded with nowhere to go.

Needless to say the country-shopper industry has greased a lot of official palms in Indonesia over the years. They'll have to find an alternative source of extra pocket-money.

Great point Herb

This is why you'll hear lots of noises from Indonesia

It means they're stuck with a few thousand disgruntled Middle Easterners who now know they'll have to wait until the return of the Australian Labor Party before they'll be given access to Australia's Social Welfare bonanza when they're not sitting in a taxi rank refusing people with guide dogs a fare because Islam teaches that dogs are 'haram'.

Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono now knows he's not dealing with the usual conga-line of suckhole wimps that have been crawling up his arse these past few years.
