How to stop the boat peoples while saving face for KRudd and make some money out of it

The current delemma involving Alex (the fake scum) and his 70 odd boat peoples stuck on an Aussie ship off Indonesia, while they refuse to take them and KRudd refuses to let them have Christmas on Christmas Island, has given me a great idea of how to solve this ongoing problem and for everybodie to [...]

The fence sitters delima

Now this is a turn up for the books, who would have thought that the spokesman for the boat load of Sri Lankians detained by the Indonesians is not what he claims to be?
You can bet the Latte Sippers who want to insist that every claimant is Kosher will be trying very hard to avoid [...]

Take them at their word

I “love” the way that my Latte sipping friends want to insist that Islam and its nutters do not want to conquer the world . Mainly because it seems to me to be a valiant imitation of the ostrich’s defensive head burying behaviour. The fact of the matter is that among the motivated believers  a [...]

Drink driving

When I was active in the Apex Club one of our members worked as a delivery driver for a lagre soft drink company and his name badge proudly proclaimed that he was a “Drink Driver”, The double entendre of that badge made all of us laugh most heartily. Of course driving while pissed is never [...]

Down and UP

Although I enjoy the security of owning my own home I have a great deal of respect for the idea of public housing that is available to people at a reasonable rent and with secure long term tenancy, If you leave aside the investment potential of home ownership the most important thing that everyone needs [...]

“CSIRO managers had written to the journal’s editor demanding the paper not be published.”

When I first heard that the government of Brother Number One was planning to tackle “Global Warming” with an ETS I immediately had a vision of the great leader trying to control a very large bus from the back seat by tying a couple of strands of soggy spaghetti to the steering wheel and [...]

Double or denial

KEVIN Rudd is preparing to double the size of Australia’s Christmas Island detention centre in a stark confirmation that his government expects a continuing flood of asylum-seekers from Sri Lanka.
The multi-million-dollar upgrade, sparked by a sharp increase in boatpeople arrivals in the past month, is expected to lift the facility’s capacity to as much as [...]

A glimmer of hope that the opposition will actually oppose

As a life long atheist I have had a very long-standing interest in the religious faith of others . No belief in the supernatural out shines the nuttiness of the Warministas these days.The chock-full-of-nuts believers in AGW are amazing because they just seem to believe in  “solutions” that do absolutely squat to change anything, [...]

“They don’t need to integrate if they don’t want to or find it difficult.”

While the world burns under the pressure of mass migration the Latte sippers chill out believing in a “we are all one ” paradigm that will be laughed at (with more than a few tears) by the future generations who will face a world where  Europeans become a minority people  in their own countries…

How did [...]

In the Egyptian river

When I wrote a piece denouncing Brother Number One’s faux indignation the other day some commentators expressed disbelief that Tuckey could have a point. One even suggested that Tuckey deserved “ to be punched in the head” for his quite reasonable suggestion that it was possible for a would be terrorist to hide [...]

An outburst of contrived indignation

If there is one thing that anyone given the task of protecting this nation from the terrorist threat can not do it is to rule out any way  that a would be terrorist could get into the country. However if you are a minion of the left the appropriate response to the quite reasonable [...]

Just fronting up here in a leaky boat does not make someone a “refugee”.

I have argued that the definition and administrative treatment of such claimants is far too simplistic and that if they ultimately succeed in getting residency here after a relatively short period of time it will be like putting up a large neon sign saying that Australia as a destination for people smugglers is THE [...]

Brother Number One proves that he is a “lite” version of John Howard

There is no doubt at all that Brother Number One has been caught on the back foot on the issue of illegal boat arrivals. His obvious softening of the treatment of the status of “asylum seekers” who arrive here illegally is a most obvious “pull factor” that encourages both the people smugglers and their clients. [...]

Thinking inside the (big) boxes for indigenous housing

Reading today’s Oz finds  Mal Brough decrying the decision to use the ‘dongas”, surplus from the now closed woomera detention centre, to provide extra capacity in the nearly full  centre on Christmas island, rather than as housing desperately needed for indigenousness communities as he had planned before the change of government. This  brought back into [...]

Smiling wryly

When I heard Brother Number One  utter these words on the radio yesterday I could not suppress a very wry smile:

“I make absolutely no apology whatsoever for taking a hard line on illegal immigration to Australia,”

I smiled because this little statement says to me that he must now realise just what a political  demon he [...]
