Stopping the boats

[Smokey]

       

[Rampstar]

Now thinking outside the square, the only reason why Boat People are choosing Australia is plain and simple....Christmas Island. Why don't we flog off Christmas Island to Indonesia? Then their boat trip to Australia would change from 186 Nautical miles to about 1100 Nautical Miles. A distance that is near on impossible to take for any of the craft that the smugglers are currently using.
We've already sucked all the super-phosphate off the island and all that is really left there now are Asylum seekers and red crabs.

You are forgetting Ashmore reef as well.

And the problem is that us owning Christmas Island gives us control over a whole lot of ocean that we don't want to give up.

What we should do is evacuate Christmas island, make it unliveable but keep it as our territory.

An "accidental" nuclear explosion maybe?

 

Good point 65. I forgot about Ashmore Reef. A suggestion that does not involve a half life, We could turn both into free range Maximum Security Correctional facilities ala Papillon. These sorts of facilities would instantly make these islands "no go" areas.

Christmas Island should be like the greek island in the Guns of Navarone. Stick a couple of massive cannons on their and give them some target practice to do

Dem boats just keep on a coming.


Boat carrying about 60 asylum seekers arrives at Christmas Island

A boat carrying about 60 asylum seekers has arrived at Christmas Island.

Fairfax Media photographs show a boat carrying men, women and children who appear to be of Middle Eastern and African descent arriving at the island on Thursday.

Under a new communications regime imposed by the Coalition, the government no longer announces or confirms each boat as it arrives.
 
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison instead provides a weekly update on Operation Sovereign Borders, with the next briefing expected on Friday.

According to the last official briefing on October 11, five boats have arrived since the Coalition was sworn in.

What an absolute dick this moron is.

Minister wants boat people called illegals
Date October 20, 2013

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison has instructed departmental and detention centre staff to publicly refer to asylum seekers as ''illegal'' arrivals and as ''detainees'', rather than clients.

The directive has been criticised as a ''profound'' shift by a leading asylum seeker agency, which says the new terms are designed to dehumanise people.

In an email to detention centre staff, obtained by Fairfax Media, a department official writes: ''The department has received correspondence from the minister clarifying his expectations about the department's use of terminology. Accordingly we as [sic] that our service providers also adhere to the below instructions.''

These include calling all people who arrive in Australia by boat ''illegal maritime arrivals''.

In 2007, Labor changed the Howard government's wording on asylum seekers from ''illegal'' to ''irregular'' maritime arrivals, in recognition of the fact it is not illegal under Australian domestic law or international law to claim asylum. The new directive reverses this.

That's a great idea, call them for what they are.

"Clients" LMAO I wonder who came up with that term.

Hands up who voted this prick into office.


Scott Morrison defends calling asylum seekers 'illegal'

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison says he is simply calling ''a spade a spade'' by directing public servants to refer to asylum seekers as ''illegal''.

''I'm not going to make any apologies for not using politically correct language to describe something that I am trying to stop,'' he said.

Mr Morrison has come under fire for telling immigration staff that boat arrivals must be called ''illegal maritime arrivals'', and asylum seekers in detention must be called ''detainees'' instead of ''clients''.

''I'm not going to engage in some sort of clever language to try and mask anything here,'' he said.

''I'm going to call a spade a spade.''

Mr Morrison said his directive simply concerned the way asylum seekers arrived.

''People who have entered Australia illegally by boat have illegally entered by boat,'' he said.

''I've never said that it is illegal to claim asylum. That's not what the term refers to. It refers to their mode of entry.''

[Diocletian]

Yes what a prick for suggesting we call people what they actually are instead of incorporating the Orwellian newspeak devised by the far-left.

[Rampstar]

Scott Morrison is 100% correct on all these matters. 

[Judge Roughneck]

Orwellian newspeak devised by the far-left.

Like 'stop the boats' 

[Chuck17]

Still LMFAO over "client"

[1965]

Still LMFAO over "client"

So what do we call them?

[Judge Roughneck]

* using terms like  ''illegal' to dehumanize people merely using their human rights of seeking sutiable conditions to live
* not giving the public infomation in regards to people comming to the country on boats / incidents in 'detention centers'. giving infomation once per week or not at all
* pepper spraying people on trains for not having a ticket
* removing foriegn aid for water/food
*raising debt ceiling to 500 billion
*not forcing ASADA into banning EFC ASAP
*going to fight a fire instead of running the country

its all looking worryingly nazi-ish
