yes i do, and even if i didnt, if they were fleeing in fear of their lives , it would be better than where they came from.

You do Bushy and you think that it represents a reasonable way to treat people (including children)?

Personally I think we should be aiming higher than "better than where they came from". the fact is that the standards on Manus Island are horrendous and have been described as such by people with far more clue (and compassion) than you. So if it is all the same to you I will take their words for it rather than yours.

Doing anything under duress is likely to foster unpredictable, muddled thinking, so no, I don't agree.
so you think taking yourself and your five kids to syria with your jihadist husband whilst passing through the multiple security checks that are mandatory before boarding any plane could possibly be put down to unpredicatable, muddled thinking ? you post some sensible stuff on here , but this is making poor excuses and bedwetting of the first order.

Abbott played a blinder in opposition and capitalised on Labor's disorganisation. he rode in on a wave of a decent hatchett job which, with the help of his mates blindsided everyone in to not actually considering what his policies might be (or what a grade 1 wally he is)

he is far from a wally mate...the sad truth is that since keating hobbled off to his antique encrusted abode labour has had the political nous of a sea cucumber........Abbott , as unlikeable as he is , is no numpty.....he is actually doing what 60 % of the population want doing , he willwin the next election because labour are a pack of idiots.......fat lot of good rudd did with his fluent mandarin....**** off,if you want to do business on these shores , learn our language and adhere to our ways....its a global thing...!!

Betwetting? Not really. It's just a normal reaction to your poorly thought through Mr Angry nonsense as far as I'm concerned.

Sadly i agree, much of your post is correct.

labor have serious PR issues and allowed the Libs to dictate the discussion away from the decent policies that Gillard got through a hung parliament. Still like i say he played a blinder in opposition but has been proven to have been talking shite on many of his election promises. Still he did stop the boats (well he passed legislation that meant that he didn't have to make it public when a boat arrived).

Although Abbot is a numpty and it is no coincidence that the Libs do better in the polls when he keeps his mouth shut. My guess is that he will not be the leader come the next election.

Nope, bedwetting it is , and a poorly thought through, wishy washy liberal response to my call for a politician to show some balls for once

Really it is one of many possible examples that demonstrates why this policy is poorly thought out and will not make the blindest bit of difference to anything. Showing balls is only useful if it is backed by some logical thinking.

i agree....he is an unlikeable character and i hate to think of him burying his snout in the political pensioners trough so the longer he stays there taking it in the boat for the party the better...imho.....i met troy buswell and colin barnett in a boozer about a year ago..right pair of goons, but unfortunately for us ...the right are smarter than the left and generally more cut throat which you need to be to get ahead in politics......it's a global thing....:thumbsup:

Thats probably because your a provincial nobody , with little direct experience of immigration, and are lacking the imagination or wit to see beyond your own poorly conceived prejudices, and no , there isnt the slightest trace of irony in my post.

It's not though, is it? I highlighted a situation where revoking citizenship might be an unfair thing to do. Moreover, there would be plenty of situations in the future where revoking citizenship could be seen as pandering to popularist sentiment, but ultimately not the right or fair thing to do. It doesn't really matter whether or not you think I was making poor excuses or betwetting in that particular example, the point is that there could be other real borderline examples that are open to abuse.

But ultimately, this is all about you getting all angry about nothing - as usual. And of course, if anyone had pointed out the outrageousness of it all, you'd have accused them of being "busy". It seems that it's perfectly all right with you to comment on irrelevant foreign policy from countries that are thousands of miles away, as long as that policy is completely intolerant and poorly thought through. If not, then according to you it is an example of being busy.

Could be

Or it could be that despite coming from a very poor/rough background myself, I took every opportunity that came my way, worked extremely hard, took responsibility for myself and my family and did very well for myself. That, in turn, meant that I didn't have to look to blame everyone else for my inability to progress and my shortcomings.

It's probably one of those two.

right wing politicians who govern countries that makes most of their income from fossil fuels and minerals do not generally spout off about global warming i'm afraid.......sad fact of life.

The mistake you make is portraying me as unsuccessful and blaming my poor life on immigration and everything and everyone but my own shortcomings, you couldnt be more wrong, i too come from a working class background and have taken every opportunity offered to me and despite some very major setbacks and have done very well for myself , i however , do come from an area of very high immigration, and realise that not everybody has the ability or wherewithal to leave these places behind , you can sit there all day long expounding the benefits of our wonderful multicultural melting pot, but until youve experienced first hand your home town turning into a place that resembles karachi more than it does the area you grew up in , then i wont take you seriously in any way shape or form .

Because your experience of multiculturalism is the only true experience and the only one that allows a valid opinion on the subject. If you don't like provincial nobodies perhaps you should take your own earlier advice and **** off back to London.
