Immigration Minister Scott Morrison hit back after the regional representative for U.N. refugee agency UNHCR said that Australia's policy of sending asylum seekers to third countries for lengthy detention might violate its treaty obligations.

    Good show Australia. If more first world countries that are under assault from idiots like the UN Refugee Agency had the balls to turn back the illegal immigrants, the rest of the UN might get the idea of just how irrelevant they really are and shut down shop and go the fuck home.

    Which, would leave us to run our countries in peace without outside interference from special interest groups bent on turning our first world countries into 3rd world shitholes that they champion so vehemently in the name of equality.

    The UN refugee charter has run it's course and is now being used a tool to bully countries into taking immigrants that have no intention of benefiting their new homes unless it includes making them as bas as the place they left.

    The Detention Centers in Papa New Guinea creep me out, but is the situation in Indonesia so bad that Australia should grant Indonesians refugee status?

    They aren't Indonesians.

    They are illegal immigrants from Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, and sub Saharan Africa.

    They go to Australia for the welfare benefits.




    If they were real asylum seekers, well the rules say they need to apply at the first 'safe' country, where they would not be 'persecuted'.

    There are a lot of countries between Syrian and Aussieland, funny how those
    illegals never apply in other countries, like India, or Thailand, or Indonesia.


    The whole system is now a joke.


    Good on the Aussies, they at least try, and telling the UN to fuck off
    is always a good idea.


    The boats don't need to be towed back.... they need to be sunk.

    If they are refugees, going to the first available Australian embassy or consulate seems much safer than sailing across an ocean.

    The ones who make the dangerous ocean voyages, are the ones who can't get in legally, are the ones who offer the least to the country of asylum, are the ones avoiding their own countries justice, are the ones spreading a radical idea either religious or political or, are the ones who just plain think they shouldn't have to apply and wait their turn like everyone else.

    The Aussies should send all of these refugees back whence they came from and they should do so by sending these poor people back in the safety and comfort of Malaysian Airlines.

    We should do the same with the boatpeople we get on the west coast. Let's see, the nearest island from another nation is...Hawaii. No, wait, it's probably the Aleutians.

    When we got them it made headlines... haven't heard anything on that issue for a while.

    We're probably too far away.

    Let's hope so. Some of the ones charge with people smuggling are still here appealing their convictions.

    Actually some of the appeals are in Ottawa at the Supreme Court right now.

    Hopefully someone on the Supreme Court grows a pair and sends these three pieces of crap packing but I won't hold my breath because there's probably another avenue of appeal like a Ministerial one for them if this one goes south.

    You can be sure all 500 are happily in Toronto, and you are paying for it.

    Although I don't disagree with the Australian turn back policy but still they have no right to be beating the shit out of the detainees at detention centers.
