So still no numbers about how many we should let in?
hmm?
Even the Parties cannot agree on that number, so how do you expect Members here to offer a sensible response other than ~ whatever number reflects that we are pulling our weight internationally.
As I thought. This has nothing whatsoever to do with boat people or refugees or anything like it. It is an
Abbott policy therefore you are duty bound by your mindless allegiances to oppose it.
You have no numbers because you have no plan. You have no numbers because you have not thought this out in any real way.
I actually support increasing our refugee numbers. I however oppose boat people. I have an implicit mistrust of people who come illegally and without ID and wonder exactly whey you do not. We already have one confirmed example of a terrorist arriving this way so why are you so intent on more?
Increase the numbers of refuges to 30,000pa.
Send planes to pick them up. But have ID and background checks first.
You can actually be compassionate and not stupid at the same time you know.
Abbott's Operation Sovereign Borders 'Policy' is illegal, and go read my Posts of the past about that, because I'm not about to go over it all again just for you.
Yeas, I agree. Plane/safe boat them in, and plane/safe boat the false claimants out. That (planes) is PUP Policy, by the way.
