Abbott's "token" woman

[IQS.RLOW]

The more the fuckwits whine about what Abbott does, the more it means he is on the right track.

[Jovial_Monk]

Wait till Live Exports stop, then you’ll hear whining!

[IQS.RLOW]

You mean live when the ALP insulted the Indonesians over a TV program and irreversibly screwed up the live export trade? Thats what happens when you nepotists parachute a fucking mungbean like Billy Ludwigs little boy into a mans job.

How about the reversal of the approvals for the super trawler after it already got here? Thanks to ALP fuckwittery, that little fuckup will probably cost the taxpayer $25 million and increased the sovereign risk of international industrial investment

No, I mean when the mob of idiots get too gung ho about “turning back the boats” and really upset the Indonesians. This time when the live trade is stopped—by the Indonesians—it will not resume.

The happy clapper Morriscum will reintroduce TPVs. Only result of that will be—the boats will contain mostly wives and kiddies. that is what TPVs did before, that is what they will do again.

yeah that's what TPVs did before all 4 boats of them

How do we know there were only four?

[Jovial_Monk]

I guess the moron forgot TPVs were in use long before the Pacific Nonsolution.

[Rorschach]

Oh dear what short memories we have... after the Pacific solution was brought in 4 boats were turned back after that there were ostensibly no more boats to turn back...

In 2000, the year after TPVs were introduced, the number of asylum seekers arriving by boat dropped by about 800 to 2,939 people. TPVs prevent people being granted a permanent visa... Indonesians call this the sugar on the table.

The Pacific Solution (2001) and was made up of a series of policies which excised islands around Australia from the migration zone, turned boats back to Indonesia and processed asylum seekers in offshore detention centres on Manus Island and Nauru.

Four boats in total were turned back by the Australian navy under the Howard government. No doubt they had lots of women and children aboard according to monk.

The year after the policy was introduced, arrivals dropped from 43 boats carrying more than 5,000 people, to one boat carrying one asylum seeker

Out of respect for Mantra, the least we could do is keep this thread on topic.

Hint- Read the introductory post.

If you want to discuss the boats or NBN, how about you start or contribute to another?

You are always complaining others rail-road your threads Monk, so how about you stop rail-roading threads yourself?

[Rorschach]

yep
well done mel.

I guess they stray off topic because their arguments and mantras have failed.
