    Do people really imagine that asylum seekers are jumping on the internet to see which political party is in power?

    Of course they are....and I'm sure they are checking to see if mP has paid his tax so they will be able to bludge off him.

    Make sure you keep paying your taxes mP...don't want to waste money dropping bombs in the coral reefs and funding the American army having a holiday at your expense...I mean supporting asylum seekers.

    The American military, another form of corporate welfare on a collosal scale.

    im more disappointed they are importing aresholes who sucked the blood dry of their fellow countrymen. There are no humble farmers from Afhganistan on those boats. Those guys dont even know Australia exists.

    As I said before asylum seekers could board a plane and fly to Sydney without problem because the Australian visa wouldn't be checked at departure. At Sydney airport they would ask for refugee statis and Australian officials would have to investigate to determine refugee statis. The reason this approach is not popular is because at departure their passport and boarding pass would be checked nothing more. An asylum seeker holding a passport is at a great dissadvantage because checks can then be made of that persons claims.

    Australia has a refugee policy only if we accept genuine refugees because our government decides how many refugees we will accept each year and when the quota is met we have fulfilled our responsibility as part of the world community and one of the few countries such as the US , Canada and some European nations. Thats Why it's important we are very sure who we are giving refugee statis to. Amanda Vanstone said in a TV program it's very hard to go to a refugee camp in other countries with meager facilities and tell a 12 year old girl that has been there all her life that Australia has allready taken its quota of refugees and there is no room for her.

    What's your source of information about asylum seekers? A comic book?

    What makes you imagine that all asylum seekers even have a passport?

    It takes long enough to get one in Australia. Do you really think it would be easy to get one in a warzone?

    Jeffro , I was writing in the context of asylum seekers boarding a boat from Indonesia where they fly into Indonesia because to fly there a passport is required to board a plane.

    And no I don't believe a genuine refugee would have a passport in most cases
