Yes...yes I do.Do you routinely go around blaming the Left for random shit?
Seriously, let me fill you in.
Previous right wing govt started to have problems with unauthorised arrivals in the form of boats packed with 'asylum seekers' leaving Indonesia in hired boats who ditched their passports and papers around 2001. Worked very hard to introduce a range of measures to stop the trade and copped a heap of flack from the left in the form of protesting tie died, dreadlocked, ring through the nose professional unemployed protestors.
The change is Govt to a minority of a socialist leftist govt (ALP) and a far left bunch of wackos (Greens) saw them abandon all the introduced measures that worked to stop the people smuggling trade so that the leftist govt can appear 'humane'.
Like most leftwing ideas, it has managed to kill over 1300 people so far with drownings due to attracting people smugglers (normally expatriate Iranians in Indo) to start up their trade again, promising a trip to Australia, citizenship, dole money, housing, medical and all number of free shit that taxpayers have to cough up for.
Here's a graph of the number of boat arrivals over the years. Note the graph doesn't have 2013 figures but it has increased this year compared to 2012
