Slippery Rackets of Labor Tuesday 13 December, 2011 - 3:00 PM
The people of Australia demand this Juliar Liebor govt do something immediately to STOP the thousands of bloody unidentified boat persons flooding OUR country.
Liebor are NOT acting in OUR interests to allow this to continue.
Liebor STOP all the lies.
Liebor STOP all the blame.
ENOUGH!
Australia has the most woeful, untrustworthy disgraceful self serving power hungry govt in history and the people want them OUT.
NO amount of reshuffling will change the facts of a rotten arrogant dictatorial party hell bent on destroying our economy with fraudulent carbon tax policy, $80 $Billion NBN, $billion dollar wasteful incompetence & utter morons in charge run by the self interest unions.
Stand down, with Juliar, Rudd and Thomson at the front and GET OUT and allow a new election.
Liebor are NOT fit for office and must be removed immediately.

Slippery Liebor Rats Monday 12 December, 2011 - 8:06 PM
Julia signs up with The Greens & several Irrelevent Independents, granting them all their silly wishes,even selling us TAXPAYERS out, just to get into Power !!!
But now, she is demanding the opposition to help out with her Disastrous Immigration Issue & blaming them for the influx of boatloads of criminals !!
Under the Liberal Party , THE BOATS HAD STOPPED !!! We had Border Protection !!!
Why can't the PM DEMAND from the "FRIENDS" who put her in power, and blame THEM for the
OPEN FLOODGATES !!! How about rolling BACK the Red Carpet & removing the Silver Platter Service !!!

"GET THE SUGAR AND THE CREAM OFF THE TABLE"...
These very suspicious, brazen, lazy and ungrateful $15K pseudo-refugees are blatantly jumping the legitimate, genuine, very long, 3-4 years, U.N.H.C.R. refugee queues. They are merely dubious $$opportunistic, unidentifiable $15K country shoppers-hoppers. These clever, cheeky, [ditched-passport] schemers have clearly just left a very safe haven in Indonesia and were absolutely safe there in an Islamic and friendly Indonesia and should of course be immediately returned back to safe Indonesia!
They are flagrantly infiltrating, breaching our borders with the unbelievable approval of the hopeless, arrogant Labor-Julia Gillard-Green-Independent dictatorial, despotic Government. This diabolical, dreadful situation has gone too far now! The electorate are demanding action.
Parliament clearly needs to be urgently re-called for an emergency, national security meeting to immediately re-open the inappropriately, Labor-Gillard closed, very successful Nauru with T.P.V.'s issued once again. Otherwise an Election must be called.
Furthermore, those lazy sneaks already here should be deported, repatriated back to Afghanistan etc under the watch of Australian/US troops.

Refugee supporters dont love people .They love the power to dictate Australias destiny.

Labor and the agenda setters are using immigration to push out anglo Australians .There is a deep hatred and loathing for us all around us .Anyone who denies this is either totally stupid,"useful idiots" or lying through their teeth .
