A better life, whaaaat….?
Obviously none of These People realise what a wretched country they’re coming to – don’t they listen to Joe Hockey on ABC’s 7.30 and Lateline? Are they not tuning in to Mr Rabbott hashing policy with economic cognoscenti such as Gloria? It’s a well known fact our nation has been trashed and is in tatters, read any News Ltd publication for verification. We’re suffering from a hefty dose of Sovereign Risk and the international mining companies can’t depart fast enough (at least not before they’ve extracted all our minerals).

Bout sums it up, FD. Esp frames 5 & 6 and the plane option. Surely we’re a better nation of people than this? Makes we want to believe karma happens and Scott Morrison’s next life will be spent on a garbage tip in a Manila slum, not as the cockroach he currently is, but as human being desperate for a better life.
Big ups to AJ Crook for the idea.

No political part comes out looking good over the asylum seeker issue. The Liberals see each boat arrival as another opportunity to play politics and reach for the dog whistle. The ALP is now implementing bad policies it knows won’t work, just wishing the problem would go away. Meanwhile the Greens, like the impotent, are pure.

Yeh, save all those “$people smuggler”, buy a return plane ticket (it’s not as though you have to go back).
[In the US we were pulled up each time we went on a plane, I was told “because we had a one-way ticket” (those cheap terrorists). I was going to ask “So if I was intending to bomb this plane, all I’d have to do was buy a return and I wouldn’t be singled out for an individual search?” – but I thought better of that, surrounded by “paranoid androids”.]

For the benefit of asylum seekers, people smugglers and Scott Morrison…
