hamish you cant be serious? its not Australia problem these people get in shitty little boats and try to illegally enter another country, do you think if you hopped in a little rusty dingy heading to China they would give two shits about you? no it would be your stupidity. Same applies for these economic refugees. (possible terrorists)
Its factually correct that Liberal has reduced the amount of boat people and the policies have deterred people from trying as opposed to the record number of arrivals under Krudd, Gillard & co.
