This defacto Ausie government on the Oceanic Viking should be given the opurtunity of getting off in Indonesia without conditions or going back to Sri Lanka on the boat. We do not want terorists or extortionists allowed into Australia.They should forever banned from recieving social services or from evntering Australia, no matter how they try to do so in the future. ie not to New Zealand and then into Australia. Their behaviour is totally unacceptable.

1. As a devout South Australian, Mr Price you would recall during the Howard years, the Plane Loads of Serbian refugees broght into the contury with full Legalities, why did'nt majority of Australians mind this?
2. If the current arrival of boat people seeking asylum in Australia ar ILLEGALS, then, I am sure our Indgienous Australians would justifiable hold the view The First Fleet of Captin Cook also to be' unauthroised illegals' & Arrivals?
3. Recently I heard via one of the media (radio/TV/Newpaper) that it is Infact a Factual statment to say that, Only during Hawke Erra Austraia did not have boat arrivals, this comment made me think why is it so? Cause Australia's Immigration system was working well and it upheld sound Intergrity!. Moreover it was during Howard Years the entire Immigration system became a shamble, (ie lots of 457 visa, student visa being automatically approved to PR etc)
4. The current handling of this whole issue is a total discusting and our current PM is just living up to the notion of his 'beloved QLD red-neck values. Have beeing a laour supporter for he past 30 years, and in recent times, I have become totally disallousinoed with Kevin Rudd on not just this issues number of other issues, come next election Greens Seem like a good alternative for me and my family!!!Morgan Kumar Thursday 29 October, 2009 - 1:03 PM
