Interesting that Abbott "distanced" himself from Bernardi's comments about abortion. Smart move politically, but everyone knows what he really believes about that issue. He's obviously being really closely advised and well-briefed before any public comments. Can he manage that for 3 years? I think not.

Only if it means less redneck banana benders.

Tony is doing an awesome job. Stopping the boats is becoming a big industry.

Cory Bernardi hints at legal action against fellow Lib:

The conservative senator Cory Bernardi has hinted at the possibility of taking legal action against a fellow Liberal party member who questioned his “obsession” with gay people.

On Monday the prime minister, Tony Abbott, sought to distance himself from Bernardi after the South Australian senator used a new book to argue that abortion choice advocates were "pro-death", that children raised by single parents were more likely to be promiscuous and law breakers and that alternatives to traditional marriage would cause “social chaos”.

But the north Queensland Liberal MP Warren Entsch, who has a record of advocating on behalf of same-sex couples, has since offered a more vigorous response, raising concern over Bernardi’s “obsessions” with gay people. He asked whether Bernardi would advocate sterilisation if a member of his family turned out to be gay.

I wonder what would happen if I went into my place of employment, and expressed the same views as Bernardi?

Given what you've said in the past about your work, I'd say everyone would scratch their nuts, sniff their fingers and go back to work.

From the past discussions of this issue, and other reading, I believe arriving in a country without appropriate documents, and any visas required, is technically, "illegal entry". However, I understand the UN convention we have signed requires us to not punish people for "illegal entry" if they claim to be refugees, but to examine their case instead.

They would become illegal arrivals if their claim for asylum has been rejected, not before that
