....so....definitely an election later this year then! We will now see lots of ‘repairing’ of Coalition damage, and actions previously vehemently rejected, to **fool** the public which is exposing his/Coalition’s 7+ years of corruption.

Now look what the tennis has done! Millions of people around the world finally looked at quarantine and heard how real people feel. GREAT work AO. These refugees would still be there without you. My take. Too much of a coincidence!

Wonderful news

About time.

60 more people we dont actually need

What the hell? Why? 😡 These men have been proven NOT to qualify for refugee status. Send them home now!
