Despite all the carry-on, the fact remains that it is now 100+ days since the last boat arrived in line with an election promise made by Abbott.

It was a promise that the people gave a mandate to as they did in 2001 so I don't know quite what your major issues are.

Scare-mongering politics at the expense of the rights of asylum seekers and refugees.

Call it whatever you want, but in a democratic society, the rights of the voters to determine the country's policies and direction is immutable and that is a fact you seem unwilling to accept.

Point well missed. We voted to end boat people and that has been achieved.

That is all.

spot on. Didn't go to the election promising to stop the visa over-stayers (pesky backpackers getting the dates wrong).

Can anyone tell me under what circumstances they'd try to enter a country without proper identification? There is only two circumstance where i'd be inclined to destroy or hand over my passport, the first is at gun point, the second is if i had something to hide.
