Jimmy why would these people be making decisions we couldn't even consider.?
Afganistan? Iraq? are we at all responsible for the plight of these people????

And how is running for your life selfish? 90 odd percent of boat arrivals are assessed as genuine refugees

I'm not sure people understand there is a difference.

Do they open an atlas and go: "Gee Australia looks nice - let's go there"
Jimmy_041 wrote:Indonesia's foreign minister takes swipe at Australian policy
Indonesia's foreign minister Marty Natalegawa has again expressed concern over the boat turn-backs policy.
"This kind of policy of transferring people from one boat to another and then directing them back to Indonesia is not really helpful," he said.
Not helpful to them - what a laugh
Means they have to start looking at the problem instead of turning a blind eye to it

If all nations that accept Asylum seekers got together & helped the UN, surely they could make the Refugee camps safer. Of course there would still be the need to accept some Asylum seekers and we should IMO.

Don't know about that one Psyber. Might be a good idea for some first world countries stopped wasting food and lost some weight.
