australian who gives a toss about boats. successive governments have crammed millions and millions more people onto Sydney & Melbourne roads & public transport (latter changing little since the 1930s). Interstate highways are crowded & the interstate train services, down the toilet.

australian

australian Who wants to pay tax towards supporting people who illegally try to invade and then expect priority form first class medical treatment at no cost. Offensive, outrageous and stupid to think they can queue jump our own citizens waiting for public health treatment !

australian

australian When they start again then, let’s take the refugees off and put Mike Jeffries and company on it and tow it to Indonesia, Nauru or Christmas Island.

australian the oz is like a doll you pull the cord on and it says 1 of 5 different lines

australian Hahahahaha Murdoch mafia running scare campaigns for the pathetic Liberals again! What a joke. 😂

australian Wonder how much the combined salaries of the pollies is? Then I wonder which is more value?

australian This is all the Libs have to campaign on. “The boats will start up again!” That and the “Retiree Tax” (not a tax).

australian So now brown lives don’t matter , it’s a callous comment , typical right wing racist commentary

Shorten acting recklessly on boats: Dutton | Sky News AustraliaFULL NEWS CONFERENCE: Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has urged Labor to withdraw its support for independent MP Kerryn Phelps' bill to give doctors more of a say over whether a refugee or an asylum seeker can be medically transferred to Australia.\n\nMr Dutton has accused Labor Leader Bill Shorten of ignoring advice given to him by security agencies about the negative ramifications of the bill.\n\nLabor claims Mr Shorten never received security briefings about the proposed legislation, which is due to be voted on in the House of Representatives next week.\n\nMr Dutton told reporters that Mr Shorten is behaving 'recklessly' when it comes to border security.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Or Dutton could recall Parliament and bring it up there. It's what y'all are being paid for instead of mouthing off. You forgot to mention Dutton also told lies at that news conference Shorten must but stopped at all costs. Riding a perceived wave of populism but seriously deceived. Phelpsism must be eradicated. No place in Australia for such uprisings of visions of grandeur and idealism. Labor is finished. Do not doubt civil war is on the far horizon
