How a Labor Government Handles Immigration

Paul Sheehan, in a very well written article in the Sydney Morning Herald sums up what the Rudd Labor Government is doing to destroy Australia.

Just the asylum seeker and immigration aspects of Labor policy and action are painful enough without reading the whole article, but if you have the stomach for it, I encourage you to click the link above and read the whole litany of stupidity that has or is occurring.

Here's two excerpts regarding asylum seekers and immigration:

"Asylum seekers. Unless the government can show otherwise, it appears that about 98 per cent of asylum-seekers are getting Australian residency. In contrast, the latest figures from the United Nations refugee agency show most asylum applications worldwide are rejected. The bulging Christmas Island detention centre has become a grossly expensive sham and a mockery of a core election promise.

Migration. Permanent migration to Australia surged 550,000 during the first two years of the Rudd government, the highest two-year increase in history. This is at odds with the government's rhetoric on reducing Australia's carbon footprint. It was also never mentioned before the election."

Add those to the rest of the failures Mr Sheehan mentions and it's clear that we have a government as destructive as the Whitlam Government. What I need to ask is why did you vote Labor, knowing that they incur massive debts, let the unions run rampant, bend at the knees on immigration issues, and couldn't manage a budget to save their lives?

I sure as hell didn't vote for them. Someone must have.

When they get the boot, the new Liberal Government will be back doing the hard yards again to keep the country going.

Government Buckles To Tamil Refugees' Demands

In one of the most gutless backdowns I have ever seen by the Australian Government, 78 Tamil malcontents from Sri Lank will be granted permanent residence visas.

This makes me incredibly angry. The government has betrayed the Australian people. Those of us who pay taxes to support immigrants and hundreds of thousands of other people who rely on the welfare system. We, who vote for governments we think will carry out our wishes.

What kind of government allows a group of people to hold it to ransom? A spineless government ... the Australian Labor Government.

The 78 Tamils have lived in Indonesia for months. They paid up to $15,000 USD for a boat trip to Australia so they could enter our country illegally. When the boat sank, the Australian Government's Customs vessel "Oceanic Viking" rescued them at great expense to the Australian taxpayers. After being decent enough to rescue them, they then refused to leave the vessel and return to Indonesia. We fed them and provided medical attention for the past four weeks and rather than force them off (which would have made the government look bad), or take them back to Sri Lanka, where their own Prime Minister said they are economic refugees, not asylum seekers, the Labor Government will give them permanent residence visas.

They'll receive Centrelink benefits, Medicare Card, and assistance we don't even give our own people, many of whom will have paid tax for decades. Some of whom are pensioners struggling to get by from week to week.

The Australian Government stinks. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd stinks. Gutless. Spineless.

We need to win back our country. We need Referenda to determine some of the critical issues facing Australian society. Such as:

1. Whether we should ban muslim immigration and try to offload those muslims who are already here (pay them to leave)
2. The need for a Human Rights Act
3. Whether we should cease our alignment with the United Nations Convention on Refugees
4. Means testing of all government benefits, especially those given to descendants of the First Australians

Please write to your local Member of Parliament (check the phone book) and object to the backdown by government in relation to the Sri Lankan illegal immigrants.

The longer we fail to do something, the worse it will get.
