Dear leader expects this, Michael, he said so to Bolt. He expects it for months and months.....

Meanwhile the Ruddster improves his position in the polls apparently because of his tough immigration policy. Either 50% of Australians are complete bogans, or there has been next to zero publicity on the fact that his policy has made no difference what so ever.

Broken down and taking on water eh? Seems to be a recurring theme.

Are there not maritime laws that can be enforced for setting to sea in an unseaworthy vessel? Or alternatively, but probably harder to prove for deliberately scuttling the vessel to cause a rescue and transport to Christmas Island?

Labor is now using the excuse that the crew will do this deliberately if Australia attempts to turn the boat back to Indonesia to discredit the coalition's policy.

Or are we just content to offer bounty's for trolley collectors who the AFP are only to happy to see leave the country before they might have to do something about it.

It is totally unacceptable for Rudd to expect Australia to wait months to see if his election stunt will have any effect, thankfully Scott Morrison is across his portfolio. It was a pleasure to listen to him on One-siders this morning.

Again the Sunrise do gooders are at it again. They simply refuse to acknowledge that most Australians are fed up with this Governments miss handling of our border protection. 
I hope most Australians have sympathy for true refugees and are happy to accept them. As John Howard said however "we decide who we take."
What the do gooders won't admit is that very, very few if any of the "illegal queue jumping boat arrivals" are actually refugees. 
Not one of Dr Karls examples were illegal boat arrivals. All of them arrived in Australia legally, brought here with our agreement, with the will to make a new life for themselves, and never expected a massive hand out. When will Australian MSM Journolists report acurate accounts of the situation rather than the Left wing Labor spin of Krudd.
Who is Dr Karl anyway? A tree hugging left wing socialist global warming alarmist. Enough said. He had the nerve to suggest he arrived in Australia as a refugee in a boat from Sweden. Someone needs to smack this idiot in the back of the head to remind him a Luxury Ocean Liner is not a boat!!! And that his examples are absolutely irrelevant to the argument.

Mayday..Dear God l pray to you to keep these people safe in there hour of need.

Rudd claims that he had to dismantle the Boarder protection because the voters gave him a mandate ( in 07) to do it .
( source Interview A Bolt )
He washed his hands of any culpability and lays the blame at the labor voters of Australia as the ones responsible

claims if he had not dismantled the Pacific Solution , Conservatives would have held him to account .

Wonder how his supporters feel about this revelation

One of the best performances of any politician recently!
Here is a link to the show: http://www.abc.net.au/insiders/content/2012/s3812598.htm

Yes it has.

Not one single refugee who has arrived by boat since the agreement was made will ever live in Australia.

That's the difference.

Strong performance from Scott Morrison ... had Barrie Cassidy on the run. Also a fairly strong performance from Rudd on the Bolt Report I thought. Both interviews were in hostile territory!!

Albanese has appeared on the Bolt Report recently also ... it must be time for TA to step up to the plate!

If the boats continue to arrive/sink at the current rate the authorities will be hard pressed to keep fishing them out of the drink ... there may be a lot of drownings in the next few months.

Great news and an excellent interview. Watch it here >

Ah, Hoax, what an appropriate name! Time will tell.

I have real concerns about these 'polls'. Yesterday I answered my phone to an automated voice poll regarding my voting habits - no identification of the company's official name. I had no idea who I was listening and no opportunity to query as the voice track did not allow any interruption - in fact I could not get rid of the call. I hung up, annoyed at the lack of authenticity, and several minutes later picked up the phone to dial out and the voice was still asking questions!!! I'm 57 and resentful at this anonymous intrusion - had it been a 'real' person I would gladly have answered. My kids (25,22,19) on the other hand would happily have gone along with the automated message and when asked, they said it would not have occurred to them to query who was calling. So my question is- are only Gen x/y/z actually answering these calls and therefore skewing the demographic?
Michael do you know what the guidelines are re phone polling?
