    "They" have already learnt their lesson mate- illegally smuggle yourself in to the 'soft' countries to gain residence there. The odds are in your favor.

    It's 'We', ie Australia, that needs to learn our lesson- and i hope we do. These people are not de facto refugee's, and most of the sob stories invented are bullshit. The first thing they do in the boats, well most of them, is 'lose' their identification overboard, as they are coached to do. Strangely enough not their gold though, they seem to be able to hang on to that through all of their faux tribulations.

    They're playing the system- so it's up to us to change that system. Thats the lesson.

    Very good, Mid. It seems you are quite aware of the Rohingya problem, having made many informative posts about it.
    Have you, by any chance, done anything for them ? I don't know anything about your personal situation.....

    Good on you, Harry !

    It's amazing what you come up with in a search ! Apart from finding out something about Harry (posted above), I had a good look into Terry's fridge...It's quite revealing. He did a thread on healthy pizzas. Seeing into someone's fridge really gives a human perspective on posters who would otherwise be mildly anonymous. And I find it very funny that I can just peer in there....
    Sorry Terry.....I just can't help but post it here. After all, it's available to everyone, already.

    Firstly we go hunting in the fridge to see what we can find.

    Mid's coverage of the Rohingya, and Burma in general, is sterling. But Middy, I think your compassion can be more gainfully employed than on our Australian boat people mate. They are gaming the system to our, and real refugee's, detriment.

    Yes, and worth noting that it's their parents that abandon them. Presumably to skip back over the border, produce a few more, sneak back later in search of work and repeat the cycle by dumping yet more unwanted kids on Thailand if it's inconvenient to take them back with you.

    This insane desire to procreate is what's causing all of these problems. Uneducated people having kids when they can barely afford to feed themselves. It's a never ending cycle.

    Some of these people have kids like others have puppies, with the same result when they get bored with them.

    Best thing is that the U.K, U.S or other european countries never had the balls to make a move like this, I was proud to think that we did.
    But who knows what will happen now, if they get away with this, it will absolutely open the flood gates and they will be coming here like heads on mice.

    No probs mate, keep searching and you'll come across some of my great travel threads. Theres plenty to choose from.

    Anyway, I'm in the process of necking the Scotch and then I'm going to skull the fuk out of that Vodka.

    I'm into recycling so I'm off to hunt down that fucking Lawyer, firstly I'm going to insert the Scotch bottle followed extremely closely by the Vodka bottle fully home deep inside that bastards arse.

    When the pigs come and get me I'll tell them I've just come off that last refugee boat and claim Asylum.

    I'm foking lost for words. The mind boggles that a Lawyer can ride shotgun over a Prime Minister.

    I'll bet that Lawyer wont be fronting up at the Pub for the rest of the term of his natural life.

    This sort of shit could motivate the public to riot.

    The Scotch was good but the Vodka was shit-house, I only bought it because it was on special, wont happen again as I don't even like the shit.

    My home brew is tops, Coopers lager, stout and dark Ale.

    If you don't mind me asking; why are you storing a bottle of Scotch in the fridge?
    I believe that in some parts of Scotland that may be a hanging offence....

    I do fully approve of the brand though and usually have a bottle or two of it around the house....but never in the fridge...

    Not at all mate, your welcome.

    I always keep my Scotch in the fridge as I have it with Ice and dry ginger ale.

    The scotch is going over Ice so why not keep it in the fridge ?

    Anyway, works for me.

    Good idea, I'll jump inside a Illegal refugees hand bag and they can drop me off in KL when they deport them.

    If those bastards can get a freebie plane trip on my tax dollars why cant I ?

    "The human element" after some bitter bickering, mate.
    Mid suggested I do a search of his posts, and in the process I discovered Harrybarracuda is a decent human being (which we knew anyway) and it amused me that I could accidentally find and take a peek into Terry's fridge.
    Somtimes I forget there are real live people behind the personas here. Oh, we all know it intellectually, but seeing these 2 things about Harry and Terry brought it home for me.

    Very good point, If the Authorities considered people smuggling as Important as importing forbidden fruit we would never of ended up in this situation.

    Amazing when you look at it like that.

    A synthetic Cannabis called " kronic " has been big news in Australia, the Kiwi's where importing it legally but the government could not bare the thought of people sitting at home skinning up and having a nice time.

    What happened ? They passed a new law virtually banning it over night but at the same time could not raise the balls to hit the Illegal Immigrants head on.

    Bunch of piss ants and smacks of hypocrisy.

    Mr Manne said the injunction dealt with "life and death matters".

    "It is about very vulnerable people asking the court to rule on whether the Australian government really has the power to expel them to a situation in Malaysia where they fear they will not be protected and where they feel there is a real risk they will be harmed," Mr Manne said.

    "Malaysia has a longstanding record of very serious mistreatment of asylum seekers and refugees - arbitrary arrest, arbitrary detention, arbitrary beatings, whippings, canings and even deportation," he said.

    He said his clients had made strong claims fearing that they would not be protected in Malaysia.

    Malaysia solution to be tested in court

    This whole thing of great movements of (young-ish) people from the developing world to the developed world, abusing the "yooman rites" religion installed by the bleeding heart statists is a much bigger problem than just one country. The treaties and conventions have to be scrapped and the people sorted out in their own countries before we start seeing the problems they've fled from being transferred to the developing world as well (...perhaps too late in some blackspots).

    all over the news this morning david manne bleeding heart self appointed refugee lawyer. has managed to secure a hearing before the federal court, hopefully the judge is not a weak piss ant like the mabo debacle that caused most of our local drama with the indigenous refugees.
    But judges before in federal court have stopped refugees being deported out of australia after immigration refused them visa to stay in aus
    The worst part is the gov picks up the lawers tab so he is self employed acting for these refugees.
    keep fingers crossed hopefully he will refuse the stay , as another 55 have just arrived and been picked up and some have already reportably gone on a hunger strike as they have just found out going to malyasia.
    welcome to the land of bleeding hearts. will be interesting we are having an australian census on wed night will be interested to see how many people are in australia and how many by religion

    High Court puts Malaysia deal on hold
    Paige Taylor
    August 08, 2011


    A teenage girl is taken to the medical centre on Christmas Island after apparently drinking a toxic substance.

    Picture: Stephen Cooper

    THE first step in the asylum seeker swap deal today was scuttled by the High Court which questioned whether the human rights of those bound for Malaysia could be protected.


    The Government was set to transferred 16 boat people this morning but they instead will wait on Christmas Island for at least two weeks when the Full Bench of the High Court will consider the matter.

    The Government could find itself drawn into a complex and embarrassing legal battle over whether Malaysia could guarantee the human rights of transferees would be looked after.

    At issue is a ministerial statement, or declaration, by Immigration Minister Chris Bowen that Malaysia had adequate human rights standards and protection for refugees.

    Lawyer David Manne representing 42 asylum seekers successfully lodged an injunction preventing the first flight of asylum seekers, who had been bound for Malaysia where they would have joined some 90,000 people waiting for processing as refugees.

    Justice Kenneth Hayne said there were serious questioned to be asked over whether the human rights of asylum seekers sent to Malaysia could be upheld.

    Liberal immigration spokesman Scott Morrison said the Malaysian agreement had twice been rejected by the Parliament and now was being questioned by the High Court "in what is a serious rebuff to the Government's policy".

    "Once again chaos continues with Labor's asylum policy," Mr Morrison told news.com.au.

    The Government had hoped it had ended electoral concerns over the arrival of boat people with the Malaysian deal, which would see 800 asylum seekers who landed here sent to Malaysia, while Australia would take 4000 documented refugees now in Malaysia.

    It has been a damaging political problem for the Government and the ALP generally, which was underlined today by polling which showed a big majority of voters believed the number of boat arrivals had increased.

    Some 62 per cent of voters said the number of asylum seekers to reach here had increased over the past 12 months. Just 7 per cent said there had been a decrease.

    Some 51 per cent of Labor voters said there had been an increase, and 74 per cent of Liberal voters.

    However, the numbers have fallen by more than half over the past year.

    When told that, 58 per cent of voters said they still were very, or somewhat concerned by the tally and 39 per cent said they were not at all concerned or only a little.

    The aircraft that will take them has been under 24-hour guard due to concerns it could be sabotaged, while AFP officers have been boosted to 109.

    Stick mines along the edge of Australian waters and maybe they can blow up a few Indonesian pirate boats and illegal fisherman as well.

    You want to come to Australia then take the risk of being blown up, or they can do the right thing and apply as millions of new Australians have and by filling out Immigration application documents.

    You will find that many of the Indonesian Sea Captains won't take the risk....matter closed.
