The solution to boat people ... are sharks.

Here is a link to an incident in which 100 boat people were killed by sharks and the video tape was broadcast to discourage illegal immigration:

Putting our natural resources to good use, and sustainable too.

Scott Morrison just handed Tony Burke his arse on the 7:30 report.
The ALP should crawl back in their hole in shame.

About bloody time!

over 50,000 people have now arrived illegally by boat since Mr Rudd dismantled our border security policies.

This is a terrible milestone.

50,032 people on 798 boats have arrived under Mr Rudd’s failed policies, including over 1,900 who have arrived since Mr Rudd launched his ‘PNG solution’.

This will be forever remembered as one of Mr Rudd’s worst decisions.

It has cost over 1,000 lives.

It has also resulted in over $11 billion in Budget blowouts.

It has damaged Australia’s international reputation and weakened our borders.

The Coalition has a clear, consistent plan to stop the boats.

Mr Rudd is just talk and has neither the will nor the competence to secure our borders.

At least he doesn’t borrow slogans from the US government the way Labor has and still does.


Original?

Perhaps not, but at least it's theirs.

Fuming Greens Senator Sarah Hanson hangs up on 2GB host Ben Fordham

GREENS Senator Sarah Hanson-Young has angrily hung up on Sydney talkback radio host Ben Fordham during a tense interview concerning asylum seekers.

The senator fumed after an aggressive Mr Fordham said her refugee policy "stinks" and was a "laughing stock".

"I don't know why you bother to invite me on to interview me," she told Mr Fordham. "You can have your own opinions. Don't invite me back on your show just so can sit on your soapbox.

"You can do that without inviting people on your show. I'm sure you do it day in, day out." Obviously she spends too much time hanging around with like minded people who don't challenge her opinions.

Click. Ben is a dick and if you can't handle him you might as well give it away.

Tension mounted after Mr Fordham asked if Ms Hanson-Young took responsibility for the deaths that have occurred at sea since the Rudd Government dismantled John Howard's immigration policies.

Ms Hanson-Young said no one who understands refugee policy believes more people came to Australia just because the Labor Party were elected in 2007.

But Mr Fordham argued it was not the change of government but the Labor Government's change of policy that had seen the number of boats arriving on Australia's borders.

"You supported a policy which has led to 50,000 people arriving here ever since and 1000 plus people drowning to the bottom of the ocean and dying," Mr Fordham said. "They're not on the earth anymore."

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott declared "this is our country" when he announced a harsh asylum seeker policy this morning.

It would see future arrivals and asylum seekers currently awaiting processing by Australia placed on three-year temporary protection visas if they are found to be genuine refugees.
