If & when a new Labor govt comes to power, the president of the ACTU will no doubt have a big say in its policies.
Don't they always?

This is what the SMH reported about Ged Kearney a couple of days ago:

"Australia's refugee policy is a national shame, the country's top union official has told a rally in Sydney.

About 2000 people attended the "welcome refugees" rally in inner Sydney on Sunday, demanding the closure of offshore detention centres on Manus Island and Nauru.

"Just think about those three small words – stop the boats – never before can I think of three small words that have left such a permanent and dreadful scar on our national psyche," Australian Council of Trade Unions president Ged Kearney said.

"They've caused so much pain, so much misery, so much indignity, so much injustice," Ms Kearney said.

"They have filled . . . this country with lies, with misinformation, and, I'm sad to say, with shame. Absolute shame."


This leaves me with little doubt that as soon as Labor gets the nod from the G-G, or even before that, the message will go out and the never ending convoy of alien-culture migrants will be under way again.
After all the heavy lifting by Jason Morrison, the vandals will again put us on a par with the weak, left-minded hotchpotch of European countries that do nothing to confront what is a virtual invasion.

Once again our streets will be flooded with out-of-place, out-of-time Somalis, Afghans, Syrians, Iraqis and god knows what else.
And Labor and its groupies will sit back, sip their champagne and lattes, and congratulate themselves on being the great humanitarians come to save the world.

give me a break - for forks sake

Sorry, I seem to have ommited the most pertinent part of your quote:

What "streets" were "flooded" with asylum seekers that came in during the Rudd-Gillard tenure?

Clearly we must have a different understanding of the word "flooded".

Sorry, I seem to have forgotten that the cultural flowering of Islam took place many hundreds of years ago and has since subsided into a long and bitter dark age. I can see that you would feel out of place with poetic license

Just when I thought you were reasonable, you come out with racist crap like that.

Right, sorry I should have realised - hysteric fear mongering by way of blatant lying is now considered a "poetic license".

I mean, 'flooding the (Australian) streets' gets the message across far more effectively than the far more drab "flooding the offshore detention centres" doesn't it? You just don't get the same sense of xenophobic hysteria with the latter.

A flood, a trickle, who cares, stop them all.

Also a blanket ban on immigration from all black/brown/muslim countries would be a good move, along with the return of all service personnel from the ME.

I Just love the way your not even trying to deny the fact that you are using blatant lies to perpetuate the hysteria - and even attempting to justify it.

Trully breathtaking.
