100 days without illegals
Mar 29^th, 2014 at 11:09pm

Quote:

Today marks 100 days since the last successful people smuggling venture to Australia.

The security of our nation is the most important responsibility of government. This government takes its responsibilities seriously.

The Coalition went to the last election with clear policies to stop the boats. We are keeping our promise to stop the boats by doing what we said we would do. These strong policies are saving lives.

Under Labor, more than 800 boats arrived carrying over 50,000 people, including more than 8,000 children. This catastrophic policy failure resulted in over 1,000 lives lost at sea and $11 billion in Budget blowouts.

The Government has made the difficult but necessary decisions to stop the boats.

Operation Sovereign Borders is working as intended. The people smugglers understand that the way to Australia is closed.

The progress we are making in strengthening our borders is restoring confidence in our migration programme. We are an immigrant country and a successful immigration programme requires that it operates with integrity.

While this milestone recognises the progress that we have made, the Government remains resolute in our determination to stop the boats.

The boats ARE arriving - they are arriving at a point designated by the Australian bully boy government, so - rather than being 'stopped' they are being shunted sideways in the fervent hope that we will not notice that the flow is the same.

The only thing more desperate than an asylum seeker is a morally destitute government seeking to turn him/her away.

If we get a refugee boat arrive, that'll be a first in many, many years. The issue we've had until Abbott became PM involved illegal immigrants - a totally different issue from refugees.

illegal migrants is just con spin for refugees. So my question remains unanswered. Will it be a broken promise when the next boat arrives?

How many boats have left Indonesia in the last 100 days? If you can say none that is when the libturds can claim that they have stop the boats.

The libturds claim that under labor there was a $11 billion budget blow out. So how much is the libturds policy costing the budget?

like I have already mention in another thread if asylum seeker have boarded a Australia warship they have reach Australia and then they can claim asylum, they don't have to land on Australia soil to claim asylum. So the question is. Is the government turning away people that are claiming asylum without processing them?

The Coalition is simply calling them what they are. However, calling them irregular maritime arrivals (as Labor did) is absurd in the extreme. Makes it sound as if they use some legitimate, but unreliable, ferry service!!! Grin

Wrong, the only thing more desperate is hearing from those who support these queue jumpers despite them voicing their desire on camera to kill our Navy personnel, F-Australia and talk crap about 9/11! You still want those kinds of people here?

The Coalition are making up crap that obscures the debate. What about illegal foreign workers on farms? Why aren't the Coalition doing anything about them? If the Coalition were consistent, they would be sending in the Department of Immigration on frequent raids on anyone caught once with illegal foreign workers to make sure they never do it again.
