it comes as immigration expert says most asylum seekers coming by boat to Australia are not the most needy or desrving refugees. it was obvious that most boat arrivals were not poverty-stricken people fleeing persecution "You see these very well nourished, well- dressed people". Its becoming almost normalised. YOU NEED $10,000 USD TO GET ON A JUNK SHIP BOUND FOR AUSTRALIA. FACT. THE AVERAGE INCOME EARNER IS ON APPROX $5 A WEEK USD |

AFL...instead of sticking up for the boat people who are queue jumpers, how about defending the poor souls who are legally applying through the proper channels to become australian migrants.
or were you one of those filthy rich who can afford to buy a seat on a junk boat and wants to defend the rich? |

MYTH 6
ASYLUM SEEKERS MUST ARRIVE THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS, THE ‘FRONT DOOR’, AND BE ACCEPTED IN AN ORDERLY FASHION Those seeking asylum onshore in Australia are applying via the ‘front door’. By definition, you cannot be a refugee unless you are outside of your home country. That means all asylum seekers must cross an international border to seek asylum. Applying for asylum after entering another country—rather than lining up in a ‘queue’ to be resettled elsewhere—is the standard way to seek asylum and is how the vast majority of the world’s asylum seekers find protection. This is also the only path protected in international law. Australia is obligated by its commitments to the Refugee Convention to provide protection to those who arrive on its shores or at its airports. It is not obligated to resettle those waiting in overseas camps — that is a voluntary program undertaken by Australia because it recognises that it receives so few asylum seekers onshore and has a responsibility to share more of the international burden. Irregular people movements are—as the term suggests —inherently disorderly. Refugees must often flee their homes abruptly or else suffer persecution. They have to go somewhere, and fast. Consequently, the vast majority of asylum seekers, some 75–95%, cross a border into a neighbouring country and stay there. Because most asylum seekers originate from the developing world, crossing a border means entering into another developing country. Consequently, those with the least capacity to assist refugees have the burden of protecting the vast majority of them. Most developing countries do not have the luxury of an orderly migration program for refugees. They must accept the millions of refugees spontaneously crossing their borders without prior authorisation, or they would be placing those asylum seekers at risk of imminent persecution or death. If all the nations of the world were to heed the call of those who insist that refugees fleeing persecution must wait in a queue for authorisation before entering, there would be mass genocide. As most nations are unable to force refugees to wait in overseas camps, it would be hypocritical for Australia to unilaterally end its practice of providing protection to onshore arrivals. Such a policy would not create equitable outcomes for all refugees but succeed only in transferring the costs of reception and processing back to the developing world, which is where our rejected asylum seekers will ultimately be made to wait. This would also force asylum seekers to wait for years in intolerable conditions without basic human rights. Ultimately, ‘orderly migration program’ is code for shifting Australia’s responsibilities to developing countries which already take the greatest burden for this international problem. Australia needs to accept that, as long as there is war, poverty and political unrest, there will be irregular migration flows. Whereas, as long as asylum seekers continue to be processed by authorities upon arrival where they undergo identity, health and security checks, there is little to be concerned about. |

ASYLUM SEEKERS DESTROY THEIR DOCUMENTATION; THEY ARE TRYING
TO CHEAT THE SYSTEM |

MYTH 3
ASYLUM SEEKERS DESTROY THEIR DOCUMENTATION; THEY ARE TRYING TO CHEAT THE SYSTEM The vast majority of asylum seekers do not arrive with- out documentation in an attempt to cheat the system. Not only are most boat arrivals found to be genuine— typically between 85 and 90%—but arriving without documentation only delays legal-status resolution, prolonging their stay in detention. So for a genuine asylum seeker, of which the majority of boat arrivals are, there is no advantage to arrive without documentation. The Refugee Convention and the Australian Government recognise that asylum seekers are not to be punished for their illegal entry or irregular travel because they have good cause (see myth 1). This is because asylum seekers will often have to flee quickly and are unable to obtain the necessary documentation before leaving; especially if that requires approaching the very government responsible for their persecution. At other times, asylum seekers will destroy documentation because they fear being sent back home or, for this reason, are instructed to do so by people smugglers. It’s often argued that boat arrivals who leave from Indonesia intentionally deceive authorities by destroying their documentation because, having originally flown into the country, it’s assumed they must have had a passport and visa to board the flight. However, many asylum seekers obtain false documentation in order to gain entry into Indonesia by plane and, unable to seek adequate protection there, later escape to Australia by boat. Furthermore, many asylum seekers initially land in Malaysia where people from Muslim countries are not required to obtain a visa. They then make their way to Indonesia before boarding a boat for Australia. Non- Muslims, such as asylum seekers from Sri Lanka, are forced to bribe Malaysian immigration officials in order to gain entry into the country and—if they can escape detection and incarceration by authorities—will then attempt to make the dangerous journey to Australia by boat via Indonesia. |

77% of Australians, um, agree with John Howard's actions on the Tampa
What happened to the others? The thing is, to use military force against refugees, isn't that a little overkill? A spokesman for the line that owns the ship says that Australian SAS troops are in danger of breaking the laws of piracy. Undoubtedly this is the most popular decision, as far as the Australian public are concerned the Government's made during it's reign The captain, before entering Australian waters, he had sent out a distress signal Clearly our solution was, um, well it wasn't only farcical it was, um, it was immoral I wish that this problem were not ours (Cheers) Well I'm left sitting here staring into a beer shaking my head at the same old loathing and fear Stranger in my own land, can't understand How the very word Australian has just been damned I ****ing hate myself, take 'Aussie' from my name Erase this endless shame, forever casting blame If you don't act the same will I destroy you? Everyone looks the same beaten, black and blue So I've had enough of these red-neck prciks When fact is the only real **** that sticks Watch as I tear the very skin from my face So no-one'll see my race, my deep disgrace You're not even from here in the first place And those that are you wanna further debase Nup, no more, never again whether by fist or pen I will defend, cos I'm at a loose end The shattered remnants of Aussie dignity I'm a skip, whitey, round-eye surprise me By using your shrivelled brain to please explain How the clever country just went down the drain We rode the sheep's back now the sheep ride you If this is how its gonna be don't call me 'true blue' I denounce my ancestors, wounds still fester If you say 'it aint so' I suggest ya' wake up Chorus Wake up - this country needs a fcuking shake up Wake up - these ****s need a shake up Wake up - this country needs a fcuking shake up Wake up - these ****s need a shake up Wake up - this country needs a fcuking shake up Wake up - these ****s need a shake up Wake up - this country needs a fcuking shake up Wake up - these ****s need a shake up Talk-back squawking hacks won't relax Until Jonesy, Zemanek and Laws are all axed 77 percent of Aussies are racist And if you're here, I'll say it your faces Rich red-neck prciks still hold all the aces So I'll buy ya a beer, with an arsenic chaser Better off dead? Is that what I've said? Tempting to take for all the blood you've shed No doubt you're as bad as your dads and ya mums Mainstream media making me so fcuking glum Anglo reality, intellectual cavities Channel 9 fostering prejudiced mentalities I won't be a casualty, just mention casually That I can't stand for you sh*t-eating bullies Preying on peeps without a mainstream voice Most of you stay silent but I've got no choice Chorus Well I've yelled my lungs out but to no avail Well I've yelled my lungs out but to no avail Well I've yelled my lungs out but to no fcukin' avail But you're a stranger yourself now that's the sting in the tail Captain Cook was the very first queue jumper It was immigrant labour that made Australia plumper Enough is enough, whiteys go pack your stuff Don't wanna live in England? That's fcuking tough I'm sick and tired of this red-neck wonderland Most've you stay silent and I can't understand I just can't understand (understand) Chorus |

and these sort of afghans are getting on the boats alone or with a son. did our forefathers fight wars for this to happen? watch the video, i seen the full length of it before it was removed.and it made the hairs on my neck stand.
the 22 yr old female acused of adultery and killed an hour later whilst 100's of men watched on or video taped it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uYs9zXsFT8&feature=related then i read this in todays herald sun. VICTORIA'S largest mosque has been forced into an embarrassing back-down after women were told they must "fulfil the rights" of their husbands and share him with other women. In a move that has outraged local Muslim women, at least one Preston Mosque committee member authorised a post on its official Facebook page instructing women that polygamy was a better alternative to divorce and husbands were "someone you share". "It is very important for a wife to fulfil the rights of her husband. Why? Because Allah commanded her to, after marriage Jannah is through her husband, and also the husband is your partner. A partner is someone you share with not someone who does things for you," said the post. "If a man is saying to his wife I will marry another woman, this is far better than saying you are divorced every time he is upset. |

One post by a single person who was on a committee.
You failed to post the condemnation that other Muslims across the broad range of representatives of the Muslim faith have come out and denounced his views as totally unrepresentative and factually incorrect. That video was shocking and carried out by the Taliban. Equally as shocking as the video released by Wikileaks of the Americans who flew above a group of 7 or 8 unarmed Irak's as if they were playing Video Games in a helicopter gunship and shot them dead. Yet we let Americans into this country. |

and the LTTE, Tamil tiger rebels controlled most of the smuggling of Tamil people to Australia . It had largely benefited from this. The prices charged by LTTE was extremely higher than the normal cost to travel. In addition, money had to be paid to obtain "exit visas" to leave LTTE controlled areas.
they are famous for destroying their passports and other doceumentation being suspect as tamil tiger rebels in many cases. these rebels are responsible for Ethnic cleansing of muslims, war crimes and the ally in arms supply was north korea. and these people are getting into this country !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I've just read through all 300 posts in one sitting and I've just one thing to say. I know it requires the patience of a saint but thank christ we live in a country where we get an opportunity to pass judgement on a govt that ignores the will of the majority (and the bleeding obvious). AFL and his ilk we really have something to bleat about once the adults are back in charge!

Refugee admits people-smuggling push
Date July 27, 2012 - 12:20PM Andrea Petrie An Iraqi refugee has pleaded guilty to involvement in an international people-smuggling syndicate aimed at helping multiple people enter Australia illegally. Ali Haidari, 37, formerly of Thornbury, today pleaded guilty in the Victorian County Court to several breaches of the Commonwealth Migration Act 1958. Chief Judge Michael Rozenes heard that in Indonesia between 17 and 26 November 2009, Haidari took part in helping an asylum seeker to enter Australia illegally. He also pleaded guilty to one count of facilitating the proposed entry of a group of six non-citizens during the month of March 2010, and in doing so, was "reckless as to whether the said six people had, or have, a lawful right to come to Australia". In addition, he pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated people-smuggling between 14 September and 5 October 2011, and also admitted that on or about 6 July last year, he imported a marketable quantity of a border-controlled drug, methamphetamine. At the time of his arrest police estimated the drugs to be valued at $750,000. The offences carry a maximum penalty of 25 years' jail. Haidari's involvement in the people-smuggling ring was exposed as part of Operation Rasbora, which Australian Federal Police said at the time of his arrest had been operating for 10 months. Investigators said those involved were allegedly charging between $4500 and $10,000 for asylum seekers to enter the country. The scheme is understood to have come undone after undercover operatives struck a deal with Haidari to smuggle a fictitious family of six to Australia. Following his arrest, it was revealed that Haidari arrived in Australia on an unauthorised vessel in 2002, settled in Melbourne and got Australian citizenship in 2007. Judge Rozenes heard today that the defence disputed several aspects of the prosecution summary, therefore more time was needed to resolve the issues before Haidari's plea went ahead. He remanded Haidari in custody and adjourned the matter for a plea hearing on August 14. http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/refugee-admits-peoplesmuggling-push-20120727-22xyu.html |
