Promote shark infested waters instead of, "oh by the way, they've relaxed the laws".

Six "Boat People" have died today.
This could have been prevented if Tony A had stopped playing politics for a minute.
And don't even pretend that this is Julia's fault.
RIP six citizens of the planet

Asylum seekers drown on way to Australia
Six asylum seekers including two children have drowned after their boat bound for Australia sank, Indonesian authorities said.
The West Java Anti-People Smuggling Task Force says about 18 asylum seekers are missing after the boat, carrying about 70 people, sank off the coast of Java.
Dubstep Dookie:
Perhaps the adults who in all likelihood paid for themselves and their kids to be placed in the dangerous situation, should take responsibility for their deaths. Why is it any polititians fault?
Modern Australia is the 'soft touch', and all taxpayers are getting taken for a ride.
I'd rather pump that money into the Heath system, increasing pensions or putting homeless people in homes.

i don't care who is at fault.
But clearly Tony A could have prevented this if he wasn't so power hungry.
I wonder how many liberal voters out there are feeling just a little remorse at his actions.
