I didn't see any original question but I did answer it anyway in my comments.
The Policy is as I stated and more fully how Aussie quoted it. Did you miss them?
The policy as Abbott has stated and clarified many times and as it has been repeated here was TURN BACK THE BOATS... how they do that is up to the people at the coalface. No boat has to my knowledge been found in our waters and towed back to Indonesia. The TOW Back cry was Labor propaganda.
Nonsense. Are you denying the existence of the footage?
Now you are just being plain annoying... and wrong. TOW BACK THE BOATS WAS LABOR PROPAGANDA... personally I don't care if they tow boats a little way or part way or even the bloody whole way as long as the boats are TURNED BACK!!!
Quote:It isn't confusing or rocket science.
I wasn't wrong
So why are boats being towed after Abbott specifically denied this would happen?
OMG.... were the boats towed back from where they were intercepted to the Indonesian mainland? You got a quote where Abbott said boats would not be towed any distance if necessary? Or are you making that up too? THE POLICY was TURN BACK THE BOATS.... Labor called it TOW BACK the Boats... the lifeboats are motorised they go back under their own power as do as Aussie suggested boats "where it is safe to do so."
Quote:or avoiding answering you
You are cropping out much of my response though. Why are you trying to deny the undeniable?
You are being pedantic to the point of stupidity, I expect that from others not you.
Quote:that is being very disingenuous to say so.
That's the pot calling the kettle black. You are being disingenuous, cropping out those parts of my response that you cannot refute (that is, most of it) and then pretending I never said it.
I haven't cropped out anything....
I answered your question, whatever it was.
I explained the policy.
If you are so politically biased you cannot or will not understand that then I won't waste my time with you anymore.
