Our current Government was elected 12 months ago on the platform "Stop The Boats"
The previous Govt. had virtually given massive support to this illegal trade in illegal migrants by accepting anybody who got here by this method. Many illegals perished on the Ocean as a result of being lured (for large sums of money) by people smugglers in India, Middle East and Asia. We had thousands and thousands of "economic refugees" coming here with no recourse to stop them. Can you imagine what some of these people would eventually get up to !!!!
There was a huge outcry (from the lunatic MINORITY) over this policy, but the silent MAJORITY spoke with their votes.
At this time the boats have STOPPED COMPLETELY, if you want to come to live in Aus...fill in the paperwork, get in the queue, pay your fees and maybe you will be successful...if you qualify as a GENUINE refugee or GENUINE Migrant seeking a new life here. We are taking 50,000 genuine refugees each year, and that is fact, this figure may be increased in the future...but.....there are rules and now the rules have been dictated by the Govt...not the people smugglers.
It is not difficult...just needs Political will and a Mandate from the people.
How we clean up the mess created by the previous bunch of dickheads I dont know, but we sure let in some absolute bas##ds from the Middle East who are now making bad noises.
Luckily, our current Govt is sharpening up the anti terrorist Laws to deal with these scum who have come here to destroy our way of life. The silent MAJORITY is right behind Abbot (Prime Minister) on this issue, we will back him all the way.
Desperate times need desperate solutions.
