No he hasn't completely lost it. John Howard is fully aware of what he's doing. In many respects, this is what he want's to be remembered for. I guess it's a life-long obsession, and nothing will stand in his way, not even Barnaby Joyce (the National's senator who holds balance of power in the Senate) or a dissenting public. Hence the associated "information campaign" will probably stay with us well after the legislation is passed (whether or not it changes people's minds). |
I don't mean he's lost it in the sence that he's lost his original goals. I mean he has completely lost it in relation to what the general public are willing to accept. If these laws get passed, the liberal party will be voted out. There is no doubt about that, all the other issues; children overboard, immigration department etc, people don't care about (totally selfish if you ask me), because it doesn't effect them personally. These laws will effect everyone, or everyones children. |

i can understand why the refugees are detained until they can have their applications processed, what I cannot understand is why this takes so long to do. To keep so many people locked up for so long must cost more than it does to employ people to speed up the processing.
Why not focus on these applications? I can see how 7 levels of appeal can take time, and if you get told no 5 times and still keep appealing you don't have too much to complain about if it takes a while.
Does anyone have any statistics on what % get rejected at stage 1, but then approved on subsequent levels of appeal that drag on for years?
as for them getting away from danger in their own countries, aren't they well clear of that danger by the time they reach indonesia? There are refugee camps there that hold people until they get a placement under refugee quotas for many countries. Are the people waiting in those camps to wait further down the queue due to others taking the extra step to force their way into australia? |

I think if ppl want to come here ilegally then they can wait as long as we take!
Ppl from just as bad a situation wait years in the crappy countries they are trying to flee but do the right thing and go through our process legally.
Are u really saying the nobs that come here ilegally should be fast tracked becuase they are already here rather then put to the back of the que for those that are still in the places they are trying to leave because they observed our laws? :conf: :conf: |
