“Put yourself in their shoes” is wise advice whenever opposing parties can’t agree. It’s a good way to try to understand each other’s point of view. Unless you have made up your mind and there’s no point in discussing it further, then considering “the other person’s shoes” is often an eye-opener.
When I hear people saying “end this heartbreak now” I can’t help but wonder if people mean just for this family. Is that the new rule we want – when someone stays and is really sad they lost, let them stay because they’re sad? We are our own worst enemy in this respect. Decent people that we are, we don’t like to imagine someone has been hard done by the system. Thus some Australians take up the cause for rejected would-be Aussies without knowing the whole story. We do, after all, love to support the underdog. It gives a sense of purpose and puts a spring in our step. It’s just so easy to believe all the sad stories that are peddled.
amandavanstone Need to go back home they are not refugees
amandavanstone Wait a second. What if the First People had said that about the First Fleet?
amandavanstone This could only be written by a former liberal member. What about the fact they were decent hardworking human beings, loved by their community, it’s not like they were drug dealers or people traffickers like some of our ‘legal’ immigrants...
amandavanstone Why not get of border security all together. Let everyone in. Thieves, rapids murderers and terrorists. When there are only a few of us left at least we can say we welcomed everyone. Please that believe like this should be shipped off the country they are most keen of.
amandavanstone Thousands of people apply legally. But have to pay thousands. Most are refused but if accepted receive no welfare. Illegals pay nothing and receive legal aid. Housing . Medical .etc. Obviously it oay to come illegally.
amandavanstone 'Letting people who are here stay is just the politics of proximity winning out over principle.' Sorry, but what was the principle again? Oh that's right: human decency. Gosh, what *were* we thinking...? HometoBiloela
amandavanstone It will destroy Australia. If the govt cannot prevent entry to this family who failed to be classed as refugees will mean all illegals will have to be given the same option. Especially pregnant women who arrive just as baby is due.
amandavanstone Very principled defence of our 'decent' immigration system. That'd be the same decent system that almost let a little girl die? Spare me your principled claptrap.
amandavanstone These are such ugly views. Utterly vile and appalling.
amandavanstone There’s hard core criminals that have done less time than these people. Time to let them get on with living their life. Hell, let’s do a straight swop with Scomo and his family. Dutton, Hunt, Dan Andrews, all welcome to their own private island off the coast of Australia!
amandavanstone If you are correct why does the legislation give the power of a decision to the Minister? According to amandavanstone the law is always right! In this instance there is an opportunity for compassion.
amandavanstone The mother is deliberately making her younger daughter sick... Look at the history
amandavanstone Mandy needs to get an actual life. bitter twisted nastypastie sociopathic childabuse
amandavanstone Great article and balanced and objective view.
amandavanstone Is this you being a “sucker” Amanda or just a corrupt hypocrite?
amandavanstone As Ms Vanstone is dealing in hypotheticals in her column, imagine how you’d feel if you were an Australian citizen who had a mental illness and was found after being bashed and then the government decided to deport you because you were born overseas?
amandavanstone Enter the country legally and you won’t have an issue.
amandavanstone that’s some pretty evil shit, must have been hard to write
amandavanstone The old stopping the boats makes refugees safer argument. The kind of ignorant argument xenophobic racists make to justify their selfish lack of humanity & compassion.
amandavanstone Disgusting...revolting toilet paper at best
amandavanstone This is a real shit opinion piece
amandavanstone Dear Amanda 🖕
amandavanstone Opinions are like arseholes. I bring you..... The opinion of an arsehole in the Age today.
amandavanstone This Amanda Vanstone? Or another one?
amandavanstone Please remember it was Vanstone who kept Aus citizens in detention when minister. Heat got too much and they shipped her off. Her 'principle' is tainted by her bitterness. Hopeless minister, hopeless ambassador, hopeless contributor.
amandavanstone Let them stay.
amandavanstone It’s just being kind. Fuck politics. And politicians. All of them.
amandavanstone In which a heartless women uses lots of 'p words' in a sentence, that somehow justifies torturing brown children.
amandavanstone Well said Amanda. People fail to accept the husband went back to Sri Lanka after getting the protection Visa, which was voided for that reason. Then deliberately had children in an attempt to stay here. They broke their visa conditions, therefore must go
amandavanstone Filthy “journalism”.
amandavanstone What principle is it which locks up Australian born children?
amandavanstone amandavanstone - another heartless conservative. You bring shame to our country.
amandavanstone Says the minister who sold visas to the mafia
amandavanstone Surely the principle is question should be 'how can we help people who are suffering?' and not 'Well it would be unfair to all the other refugees we deported back to the places they fled from.'
amandavanstone It’s not fair to the others who are there! They saved money, he’s working, has a car n doing fine. They hv plenty to start in life in their home country! Don’t be sucked in. Send them back, they escaped twice this time do it! Enough of bullying us Ozies.
amandavanstone - they had ample time to leave, did wrong n using the media to pull at heart strings! Why can’t all at Xmas Island be given the ok? Why them- trying to manipulate us?they should go back ASAP to teach others a good lesson. He has a job, a car they’re not needy! Send them bck.
amandavanstone If you have temporary protection visa, would you have children That’s the logic huh? I didn’t know when you are on a protection visa, you should always use a condom, or are they not allowed to have sex either or even better, not entitled to family planning?
amandavanstone They have proven to be good citizens
amandavanstone As Minister you would have exercised discretion to grant a visa in the public interest several thousand times a year. The Act gives the Minister discretion and it worked for two white European au pairs. The system isn’t broken and we have not been overrun with au pairs.
amandavanstone Your cruelty knows no bounds. You are such a leaner.
amandavanstone Let's ask the Queen to intervene. This is a debacle. Sepsis is life threatening. That Dutto doesn't mind using imprisonment on citizens for his own pleasure. These are free Australian citizens.
amandavanstone This isn’t quite the French au pare principle. The LNP and principles are like oil and water
amandavanstone Just when you think Credlin’s honour is the absolute nadir of decency, up pops Vanstone.
amandavanstone “Walk a mile in their shoes”, and note also “The Continuing Tamil Genocide in Sri Lanka” by author Charanja Thavendran (article by Paul Gregoire, 5.5.2021). Some Tamil asylum seekers must be deported for reasons such as posing a threat to society. In this case, it does not apply.
amandavanstone What a toxic, nasty person she is. Thank heavens she has drifted off into irrelevance. How about you stop publishing this rubbish.
amandavanstone Love how Amanda twists the truth. The rules are constantly bent her cronies, but that never counts, does it? Porter denies natural justice to thousands, but cries poor. Amanda with her snout in the trough, doesn’t want anyone else to be given special treatment etc lnphypocrites
amandavanstone Actually, we think they should stay in recompense for unnecessary psychological torture of unjust imprisonment of Australian born toddlers and preschoolers, the malnutrition, the community who wants them. The millions of $ wasted in cruelty. BiloelaFamily
amandavanstone No, we should deport them, it’s not fair for those legal migrants
amandavanstone Letting the Biloela family NOT stay in Australia, simply because they are brown, is the politics of cruelty and fearmongering winning out over what's humane and empathetic There I fixed it for you
amandavanstone Humanity does not = sucker. Suggesting a principled position through name calling doesn't really work.
amandavanstone Exactly.
amandavanstone Can someone tell Amanda Vanstone not to be a heartless cow?
amandavanstone Rather than saying ‘what about people who have gone back’ how about talking about the many people who have had dispensation to stay, just like this family should. The analogy of having children is a spurious statement and apply to many scenarios not necessarily asylum seekers.
amandavanstone Appeals seem to hold up the intent of the law.
amandavanstone Utterly ingenuous. Insiders asserted it is Morrison's decision. It is Morrison that has incarcerated the Biloela family. They are incarcerated for Morrison's political advantage. They are Morrison's political prisoners. Morrison getting closer to phone call from The Hague
amandavanstone Let them become Australians please
amandavanstone No, because it’s fucking inhumane to do otherwise. Are you serious with this shit ?
amandavanstone They have to go elsewhere...letting them stay sends the wrong message
amandavanstone When you can get ‘business’ passports for $150000 ... give passports to a family loved by their community
amandavanstone Umm what?
amandavanstone Ninefax proving yet again, if it was ever needed, that they as low in the gutter as Newscorpse.
amandavanstone Cornelia Rau sends her best wishes, Mandy!
amandavanstone We're taking morality advice from Amanda Vanstone now?
amandavanstone Just who’s paying for the protracted legal claim after claim after claim.
amandavanstone Aside from everything else, isn’t being a terrorist/terrorist supporter illegal in Aus? Why would we want them here? 🤔
amandavanstone No! It’s the politics of democracy over lack of principle!
amandavanstone Good to see Vanstone is still true to her principles of being as cruel to the disadvantaged as possible.
amandavanstone Principle?
amandavanstone But they ar3 still here, in prison for years and going nowhere. Let them have a life. This is despicable.
amandavanstone Yes the fairest decisions have been made so far, all the best to the family, everything will be ok 👍
amandavanstone Morrison is no Christian
