Abbott lies about asylum seekers
Jan 24^th, 2014 at 5:52pm

Yeas, I know. This may have been placed in an existing Thread, but it does have intrinsic relevance on a tangential issue, which is the rubbish rhetoric being used by Abbot on the matter.

Click here.

Quote:

"Do you believe Australian naval personnel or do you believe people who are attempting to break Australian law? I trust Australia's naval personnel," he said.

Ya see that highlighted bit. It is disgracefully incorrect, and amounts to another attempt to demonise totally legal activity.

Quote:

The claim: Tony Abbott says asylum seekers who come to Australia are attempting to break Australian law.

The verdict: Mr Abbott is incorrect. Australia recognises people's right to seek asylum and entering Australia without a valid visa is not a criminal offence.

Since when has seeking asylum been illegal?

Imagine how embarrassed his family must be, having to see this bumbling woman-basher make a fool of himself in public time after time.

Seeking asylum is illegal now, is it? Well done Tony, you fricken idiot Roll Eyes

It's also a fallacious argument. He's trying to refute the claims by saying "who do you believe?". It is not a valid refutation.
