    Look....it seems to me that Shortens advisors are daft. He should have just shut up and voted down this legislation. Then he would still be sitting pretty. I'm stunned that the CFMEU have not advised him better as he does their bidding anyway. I guess it just confirms that he'll cave to the left once elected.

    But, I may get what I wanted, which was to see which big lie they trot out this time. Last time the Mediscare lie was very successful, especially the unsolicited sms messages to us pensioners (where was all that legislation by the way?). Maybe they'll try it again, although I suspect their propaganda arm GetUp is too clever and organised for that.

    It's one of the reasons the activists and their supporters hate Abbott and Morrison. They STOPPED the boats AND the drownings at sea.

    Surprised us all really, but it happened.

    transfer to nz means as soon they get a nz passport they then have entry into this country,it is never going to happen and the boat polices are the same for both labor and the libs as for the plane arrivals they claim refo status as soon as they arrive the problem is how to stop it happening when international agreements mean they cannot be kicked out until verification is carried out.They have woken up it is probably cheaper for them to come by plane than to pay the people smugglers and with more chance of success

    Correct on all accounts with this statement. As has been stated further back, these asylum seekers t least still have their passports and their identity is, at least, verifiable,
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

Yes, go there! great place, give you everything and the aussies and their gubbermint is so stupid you can get away with anything. They even have laws that say they can't say they don't like you and have to do whatever you want. You can go there and never have to work another day in your life and they pay you and give you free medical and every thing you want.

    You can break into houses and business and steal things, bash and rob people and instead of being shot or having your hand cut off, they let you go to do it again and again! It's true, my Couzin did it loads of times and is rich now . Even their jails are so much better than our houses. Food, TV, hot showers, clean bed. It's like paradise.

    If you thought Americans were Dumb, you won't believe how stupid the Australian Gubbermit is!"

    Iranian refugee ‘poster boy’ and ‘model migrant’, Hamid Ranjbarian, has been charged over allegedly conspiring to import up to 40kg of the drug ice from overseas.

    It was only last year that Mr Ranjbarian, 37, starred in a national TV campaign to encourage migrants to start small businesses.

    The father-of-one was arrested yesterday at his North Parramatta home and was refused bail. Another man, Saeed Bakhtiyari was also arrested for his part in the alleged plan.

    NSW Police said the drugs had an estimated potential street value of $36 million, after a series of inquiries led detectives to uncover the alleged drug conspiracy.

    Grit. Hard Work. Resilience. Hamid Ranjbarian, small business owner is #AustralianAsItGets. Watch Hamid's story.
    Posted by CGU Insurance on Thursday, 25 January 2018

    The CGU Insurance advert he appeared in used the slogan “Grit. Hard work. Resilience … Australian as it gets” and highlighted Mr Ranjbarian’s new life in Australia, where he established the painting business AAA Quality Painting & Decorating.

    In the campaign on the CGU website, Mr Ranjbarian said he wanted to give back to Australia by “employing people, growing my business and paying my taxes.”

    “In Iran it’s all about experience, but here I needed a qualification to practice herbal medicine … and I had been working in the industry for 15 years,” he is quoted saying on the CGU website.

    He will appear in Parramatta court today.

    How come we can send NZ crims back to NZ and stop them re-entering Australia but can't stop NZ re-settled asylum seekers from entering australia
    surely aussie politicians can easily draft legislation to suit?

    Absolutely!

    The NZ PM really seems to want them. Simple deal, you can have them but they can never enter Australia all encoded in the RFID chip on their passports.
    What was the point of ScoMo going to NZ just to say no to everything they discussed. Totally incompetent, not capable of negotiations.

    I think you can make better deals with a sheep or even with Trump if you ask nicely and write 'beautiful letters', LOL.

    Despite her offer, the NZ Government has made it clear that no single males will be accepted.

    Why don't Libs grant voluntary euthanasia to asylum seekers much kinder than keeping them locked up indefinitely especially the singles?
    Obviously they'll never let them go to New Zealand and euthanasia would be better than going to America. Hell no loss they could have drowned on a boat anyway
    they are the walking dead.

    After the Libs win in a landslide over border protection the increased majority could repeal medivac law and implement euthanasia as the alternative or put up.

    crims have committed a offense here hence they can be booted,but asylum seekers with a nz passport have not so they would be free to travel to Australia an attempt was made to get nz to make known they were former asylum seekers but nz bulked at that and said no,probably something along the lines that was once in force here,any one that had a criminal record there passports were apparently lettered KP which informed any country they travelled to they were a Known person [criminal]

    Hmmmmm....I reckon they might have chosen that rather than miserably drowning at sea in countless droves under the last Labor/Greens government which didn't give a sh!t about their plight.

    Boat turn backs are the only thing good the Libs have ever done everything else they make worse and takes years of Labor to repair.
