All we hear about is boats, but there's a bigger immigration problem the Government doesn't talk aboutWhat is clear at this juncture is that government policy on asylum seekers is not being driven by national security concerns, but rather by a desire to continue using them as a political wedge. I really get pissed of when we here only of Boats , not Airline s , why is it Journos do not Belt politicians around the head with the 99 % Plus Illegals who arrive by Air , Boat s Boats Boats , weakness of Journo s MichaelPascoe01 Mad_Morris mjrowland68 The LNP does not have a problem with legal refugees and Asylum Seekers. They have a problem with people getting on dangerous boats and dying at sea. Being tough on ‘boat people’ to discourage them taking this risk does not mean that they are anti immigration or ‘racist’. Illegal Immigration is never ok.

If people smugglers think the doors are open, they will come: Dutton | Sky News AustraliaHome Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has compared the medical evacuations bill before parliament to opening Australia’s doors to a flood of people smugglers and ‘14,000 people in Indonesia ready to hop on boats now.’\n\nMr Dutton has told Sky News there’s no sense in being big-hearted ‘only to find that a boat turns up the next day to refill the places with new arrivals’.\n\nHe says it’s exactly what they did after former prime minister Kevin Rudd won the federal election in 2007.\n\nThe bill, brought forward by Independent MP Kerryn Phelps, would give doctors the power to transfer ill refugees and asylum seekers from offshore processing facilities to Australia for medical care. \n\n\n\n\n This is what you have done. Are you telling us this victimised human being, someone’s beloved son, brother, husband is a threat to our nation. No one believes you

Morrison's historic humiliation could have damaging consequences for ShortenBeneath Bill Shorten's legislative victory in the name of humanitarianism lies a gamble that the boats won't start up again. If they do, the Coalition will castigate the Labor leader. So if ScumMo and Potato Dutton allow some boats through.... the worst possible outcome for billshortenmp . i can guarantee a boat arrival before the next election.

'You can't lie' to people smugglers: Angus Taylor | Sky News AustraliaEnergy Minister Angus Taylor has dismissed endorsing Labor's rhetoric that the medivac bill would only apply to current detainees on Manus Island and Nauru, telling Sky News 'you can't lie' to people smugglers. \n\nMr Taylor has told Sky News the Labor Party will likely extend the same treatment to future refugees and asylum seekers.\n\nThe controversial bill allowing faster medical transfers of refugees has cleared parliament after gaining the support of key crossbench senators.\n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison fears the changes will restart the people-smuggling trade and trigger an influx of asylum-seeker boats and deaths at sea. \n\n Herr Dutton just agreed it is for current detainees. Apparently lying is reserved for the Australia people....it's in the legislation Taylor you fraud, MedevacBill only applies to current detainees. If out right lies is all the LNP have they are unfit to govern (no surprise there) and should call an election. But the LNP can LIE to Australians
