    Read again: there was no enough evidence for the arrest. Dot.

    He sits at his keyboard full of grog posting waffle. You can put any amount of proven fact in front of him and he wont accept it, so there isnt really much point in replying to anything he says.

    I'll bow to superior judgement....

    Oh...as a last gasp, at least someone has a clue....

    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    Opposition toughens refugee policy - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
    Typical, create a problem and come up with solution. Nice.

    Something as per pdf I posted in this thread:

    Tactic #10: Create Straw Issues
    The Bush campaigns manufacture minor (but emotionally loaded) issues in order to divert the attention and allegiance of voters. Paul and Elder explain,
    Suppose that a manipulator can't refute the reasoning of his opponent. He doesn't bother trying. Instead, he throws in an emotionally charged issue that will distract the audience from the reasoning of his opponent.

    Manipulators know that a good way to distract most people (if
    it looks like they are losing the argument) is to insist loudly on some
    minor point. Because most people think superficially, few will notice that the point is minor, especially if they are emotionally attached to it.
    Faced with a raft of problems in 2004, including the economy and the war in Iraq, Rove raised wedge issues, including same sex marriage, gun control, and abortion. As Nicholas D. Kritof points out, these red herring issues divided people who would otherwise have been united in their opposition to Bush:
    (The Democrats) should be feeling wretched about the millions of farmers, factory workers and waitresses who ended up voting -- utterly against their own interests -- for Republican candidates.

    One of the Republican Party's major successes over the last few decades has been to persuade many of the working poor to vote for tax breaks for billionaires…Democrats peddle issues, and Republicans sell values. Consider the four G's: God, guns, gays and grizzlies.

    “The Republicans are smarter,” mused Oregon's governor, Ted Kulongoski, a Democrat. “They've created ... these social issues to get the public to stop looking at what's happening to them economically.”

    Must be the first one in Canberra then, certainly the feds have no clue.

    I assume now all those portrayed as "victims" who paid money of their own or on behalf of others to these smugglers and confessed to it on national television will be rounded up by the feds and kicked out for funding these illegal activities?
