Boat People Warning

So Mr Rudd, who is not a genuine asylum seeker? I am sure you will let them all in. The Navy is welcoming them with open arms and more than willing to provide humanitarian assistance so these people can reach Australia. When will the Navy start intervening and send them home? Oh yeah I forgot, this is not Japan. We are 'obligated' and have a duty of care to these people. Right. Well after safely housing them why can't we send them to Nauru? Oh yeah.....your feel goof lefty buddies think it is nice if they stay here.

Warning on wave of boat people

INDONESIAN authorities are bracing for a huge influx of boat people, anticipating as many as 10,000 asylum-seekers are waiting in Malaysia to transit through the archipelago and on to Australia.

This estimate was backed by a Malaysian group that deals with unauthorised immigrants. An Australian Government source warned of the potential for a similar influx to the thousands who began arriving in Australia from the late 1990s.

About 1500 asylum-seekers have arrived in Indonesia this year and registered for refugee status, almost all travelling by boat from Malaysia. Another 1500 are believed to have arrived and have not registered.

Indonesian police intelligence suggests between 7000 and 10,000 more people are waiting in Malaysia to make the journey once their passage is organised by people-smugglers.

"It could be 10,000," said senior commissioner Eko Danianto, head of the people smuggling unit at the Indonesian National Police.

As I predicted, Labor is soft on immigration, and getting softer, alarmingly!

Biggest boatload to stretch detention centre

Australia is having increased amounts of arrivals of illegal immigrants and all because Labor abonded TPVs (temporary protection visas) and the Pacific Solution from the Howard Government. When Australian politics encountered the 'children overboard' affair, I knew then that Labor and the Greens (and Democrats which are no longer) would all support an 'open immigration policy' for Australia. They forget those who have come legally and followed due process.
Instead we have lawyers and communists subverting our system (and Government) in order to allow potential terrorists into Australia. These people pay to come here (economic 'refugees'). Now Labor rewards them.
Stop the Labour scourge. Let's have a double dissolution and end this pathetic example of 'leadership' Rudd professes to. Kevin Rudd wants to subjugate Australia to China and the UN.

What a lot of people do not realize is that the huge cost involved of processing these people, using our Patrol Boats to pick them up and ferry them in, and then handing out money to them here. This is not about 'feeling good' because you are taking care of those who can pay to come here illegally, but about the huge cost incurred because of the Government's soft position, and getting softer. Isn't the getting softer policy going to equate to getting expensive? Yes, more will come, and expose us to more costs as the Government votes to remove 'burdens' on those who come here.

White Paper Released

I haven't really posted much on here since the A330 issue where Kevin Rudd has been tearing up our military. They even knocked the 4th Air Warfare Destroyer on the head and won't build a nuclear powered submarine that could stay under water undetectable to satellite.
But it seems that Labor is going to cut Defence spending by simply forcing Defence to make cuts to 'save' money. Bases will close, and maintenance and equipment will be mothballed. Its the only way, as in the Clinton years, that the military will be able to save money. Kevin Rudd and his Government are very sneaky, saying they will maintain 3% growth in Defence spending, but unfortunately it seems that Defence will have to 'save' money. If I find an article that deals with this funding lie in more detail and explanation than I have I will post it, or let me know.
