There is a doco on youtube in which sri lankan "asylum seekers" admit they are coming here for employment. They think we have lots of employment opportunities for them and lots of money to pay them.

Don't have time to look for it again... one of you LW patsies can look for it. Educate yourselves.

I would say that there are some asylum seekers who are coming to Australia as economic migrants.....That is why their claims are assessed and those who are not valid refugees are sent home.....What is wrong with this process that has been happening in Australia for many decades???

Huh

That is exactly what he wanted. Now, he'll demand (as he has with me on another issue) that you prove it does not exist.

Nah, Grendel.

Nah, Grendel.

Twisted "logic" is his forte.

He just sprouts blatant lies; claims that there is evidence to support his lies; and then tells others to go and find that "evidence", because he's too busy (supposedly making up more lies).

He's a funny old fellow, is Grendel.

I kept watching until about the six minute mark. The first thing to note is that contrary to Abbott's claims, the boats have not been stopped.

What was the date of that story, Grendel?
