so significantly more come in via plane and did prior to the whole Boat people thing.

yet significantly more of the one that arrive via boats are found to be genuine cases of asylum seekers.

oh and the boats have not stopped...there is just a new policy of refusing the media any information on it so you don't know the boats have arrived...

this

All these reduce significantly when they get the hint that Australia isn't the place to sail to

this isn't going to happen.

Actually they have been shown to conduct themselves horribly to get rescued.

Aside from that why is it hamish they have no other way to get here? It's undisputed they spend thousands, tens of thousands to get here via this risky way so you tell me why don't they just get on a plane and come here like everyone else who is legitimately able to? Because they shouldn't be here that's why.

Why destroy documentation? We don't want disease and welfare drains on our society. There's a right and a wrong way to do things, boat people are wrong.

It costs more to come by plane, not only that but planes are where the majority of your "economic refugees" come from. There are also far more people arriving by plane than people in boats, they just don't look as salacious when splattered across a PR campaign so the gov't doens't bang on about it.

"tens of thousands" is a maximum figure and is not representative of what all people pay. The people that arrived on the only boat to hit Australian shores last year (yes, it happened) paid ~$1000 a head

It also affords greater security as a nation to be discriminant about who enters our country, which is a key issue for me.

Are you saying we will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come?

Pretty sure that doesn't work lol

Whether it happens or not is a better scenario than the message that the alternative will deliver when you open the floodgates - give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses etc,

[dezz]

that be ice these days not booze.

it's cheaper.

you know your government has done a great job when illegal drugs are significantly cheaper than legal things.

Lol

A basic right of national security, you would think. But Hamish wants to give these people the power to vote for the greens.

did lol recently when someone told me how much it cost to obtain acid, extacy, mushrooms, etc. immediately though WTF why bother drinking?

Even $1000 for an unsuccessful attempt is a lot of money and still does not explain why they don't go through legitimate channels

You've also ignored the point of why they destroy all documentation??

Sweet red herring

I was in fact staying on point by quoting my man Johnny

Saw Scott Morrison yesterday actually. Should have thanked him, not least for having the decency to wear a suit and tie when out in public

Some of them do that... some.

Most of them cant afford legitimate channels or are unable due to the persecution they are fleeing... that's why they are called assylum seekers

Even if every asylum seeker that came via boat was allowed to vote and they all voted green, it still wouldn't touch the side of the ALP/LNP vote

Because it's legal and small quantities won't cause you to crash your car into a house because you thought it was a gateway into another dimension

Drugs have always been cheaper for thrills per hour vs cost

Weed was a $20 affair when I was in high school, that would last you all night while mates pissed away $50 on premixers

One less green voter in Australia is one less fk wit idealist that I have to encounter

now where's the fun in that

yeah... those gad damn idealists...

I find that hard to believe. Turning a boat away is a one off cost.

[UNR33L]

Not all drugs are cheap, cocaine is pretty expensive compared to drinking

acid/e/weed though yea I guess - but has always been cheaper than drinking I'd assume?

[Mohsen]
