Hopefully now people will stop dying trying to get to Oz on leaky boats.

And it will put this issue to bed.

No carbon tax disaster and no more boats, people might actually start looking at Tony Abbott.

You dont honestly believe that Gillard has any chance at the next election. She's no hope. I know Labor Party members who have been members of the party for years who are gonna vote for Abbott. Gillards the worst Prime Minister in Australian history.

All about minimising the damage.

You lot deserve Abbott.

I will bring this thread back to life once Abbott shows his true colours.

I still can't understand how intelligent people are sucked in by his BS.

Forget the boat people what are we going to do about the bloody Kiwis?

 

54,000 refugees, no questions asked

August 22, 2012

AUSTRALIA is facing a flood of economic refugees. But the big numbers aren't from the north, they are from the across the Tasman where Statistics New Zealand yesterday announced the biggest exodus to Australia on record.

An extraordinary 53,900 New Zealanders moved to Australia in the year to July - around the entire population of New Plymouth, New Zealand's 11th biggest city.

We won't help Abbott turn back boats: Indonesia

Date June 1, 2013  David Wroe
 

Indonesia has said in its clearest terms yet that it would not work with a future Abbott government on the Coalition's vow to turn back asylum-seeker boats.

The country's ambassador to Australia, Nadjib Riphat Kesoema, said in Canberra on Friday that, as a transit country, Indonesia was also ''a victim of the situation'' and would probably not collaborate with the Coalition on such an approach.

''So I think it's not possible for the Coalition to say that it [the flow of boats] has to go … back to Indonesia, because Indonesia is not the origin country of these people,'' he said.

''We don't know the situation ahead of us right now but I think … no such collaboration will happen between Indonesia and Australia … I don't think that it will happen.''

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has steadfastly maintained that a key plank of his asylum-seeker policy would be to have the navy turn back boats when it is safe to do so.

Present and former navy officers have warned that such an approach could be dangerous because asylum seekers might try to scuttle the boats on which they were travelling. And Indonesian officials have also consistently taken a dim view of the proposal.

No one likes Gillard. She just irritates people. Too many mistakes and too many fiascos by her government. The last 6 months have been better ie. DisabilityCare but overall her government is a failure and her Prime Ministership has been farcical.

How about the NBN?

[Gigantor]

meet the new boss same as the old boss

[Francois Jackson]

NBN yeah great idea that. Wasting billions of dollars feeding into homes that don't need it.

The latest thing with gambling has been one of the the best things she has done, forcing flogs like Waterhouse to pipe down with his in ur face advertising.

Waterhouse says "I listened to the people" absolute BS it was because of Gillards government that  forced him into culling his TV crap.

Good on her but sadly for her it's too little too late.

NBN yeah great idea that. Wasting billions of dollars feeding into homes that don't need it.

a report just released by cisco expects australia's usage to be 755 Petabytes (1048576 gb) per month by 2017 . the biggest forecast increase is in video usage, but not so much homes downloading movies. Health, education and security are expected to see the bulk of this increase. there is so much more to internet usage than pirating movies and slagging off on interweb forums.

The NBN will future proof Australia's communication network - at this point in time we cant send enough data to reach fiber optics limit. It's not so much about speed, but bandwidth. Mr Rabbit himself admitted, actually he complained  , it would be 50 years before the NBN reached capacity. Theres a good chance it may even be longer, as no one is really sure what the limits are.

The coalition on the other hand want to spend millions building the equivalent of the old South Eastern - Mulgrave freeways, and like that debacle, it will ultimately cost more to fix the bottlenecks than the original project, much more.

That is the serious waste of money. In all honesty, they would be much better doing nothing than spending millions on a half arsed job.

Well said Al

Australia cant afford it. Gillard and her mates have left us in mire of national debt. Its a disgrace. We are $350 Billion down the crapier because of them and facing enormous budget deficits well into the future. They peeed the biggest commodity boom in the history down the dunny. Absolutely shameful.
