Is Nauru going to be good enough for the refugees?

[IQS.RLOW]

You idiots are forgetting one big difference between the 2001 and 2012 policies. That one big difference allowed Howard to hoodwink even his supporters into thinking the Pacific Solution worked.

You mean where JH solution worked?
Where they didn't get on boats?
Where we had 4 people alone on Nauru?

Jeezuz you are a fucking numpty

The Pacific Solution is costing us now in compensation - millions - so hopefully the govt. will close the loopholes for detainees seeking compensation once they're released. Apart from that - it seems like the more economical solution in the long term. The refugees are also given freedom in Nauru to walk around and help in the Island activities. I could think of worse places to be.

Rubbish. Most people I know who voted for Howard weren't hoodwinked at all. Whilst they were unhappy about increases in immigration, they were happy the boat smuggling stopped.

Rubbish. The Pacific Solution stopped the boats, processing on Nauru was done under the auspices of the UN. You wanna make claims, be more specific and accurate.

You're not related to xxxxx are you?

Are you denying that compensation is being paid to many dozens of refugees who were detained under Howard's Pacific Solution? If you haven't kept up - don't expect me to do it for you.

Bloody hell, where'd my post go?

mantra, I've looked.
I suggest you put up or shut up.

mantra, it's put up or shut up time.
I've looked I can't find anything backing your original statement.

JM, I don't always agree with IQS, but here he's 100% right and you just spout nonsense.

Do you remember Cornelia Rau and Vivien Solenge? That was only the beginning.

By late last year, the federal government had paid $18 million in compensation to asylum seekers for unlawful detention and $5 million for negligence to former detainees.

It didn’t work but it won Howard the 2001 election. Gullible as!

So, morons, what is different about Nauru/Manus Is now and the failed Pacific Solution?

[Rorschach]

Ta da.......... JM labor stooge.

You do understand what stopping the boats means don't you JM?
