“I have no fear,” a boat captain, tells the reporter.

I am amazed that so many “Open door” Latte sippers don’t hang their heads in shame for their  support and encouragement the criminal disregard for the lives of “asylum seekers” that is clearly evident in the admissions from these people smugglers.

“I have no fear,” one man, a boat captain, tells the reporter.
“I heard that when [...]

Refugee processing, at “mates rates” or how Brother Number One can’t negotiate and win

The whole sorry saga of the “Asylum seekers” plucked out of their stricken boat, at the request of the Indonesian government, in the Indonesian rescue zone has been a disaster fro the government of Brother Number One. And You can bet London to a brick that future aspiring immigrants will take what has happened on [...]

“Three drug method” vs thiopental sodium

Any one who updates a blog on a daily basis for a long time will probably find that their posts tend to have clusters that cover related topics, I expect that this happens because you tend to be focused on a particular issue over those days or even weeks. Thus I [...]

The only realistic penalty for such a crime has to be death.

I have often argued here that there are some crimes for which there is only one adequate penalty . Well what could be a better case in point than the cold-blooded murder of more than 3000 people on 9-11?

Mohammed and his four co-accused will be brought from the controversial prison at Guantanamo [...]

The health benifits of pancakes and Facebook

As a regular user of Facebook I  tend to notice stories like this, maybe its just some sort of keyword recognition that sets off my radar or maybe its just my unquenchable interest in the modern communications environment. But any one interested in the interface between the online and “real” worlds has to take note [...]

“The Philippines solution”? Oh yeah that will work

This has to be one of the most sadly desperate bits of politicking from Brother Number One that I have seen in a long time: “The Philippines solution” Now won’t the Latte sippers have a field day with this one!

The Australian government is still working to broker a solution acceptable to the Indonesians and the [...]

The Latte sippers idea of Justice

Rape is a terrible crime on so many different levels, to its victims it is devastating, in some instances they feel that being murdered would have brought them less suffering. Victims are forever scared by this horrid crime. Prosecutors hate the crime because the evidence upon which they must act is far too often only [...]

Recognise the problem

Instances of Muslim-on-unbeliever violence inspire the victim school to dig up new and imaginative excuses. Colorful examples (drawing on my article and weblog entry about denying Islamist terrorism) include:

1990: “A prescription drug for … depression” (to explain the assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane)
1991: “A robbery gone wrong” (the murder of Makin Morcos in Sydney)
1994: “Road [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Leftist Social Engineering stuffs the Poms

The lesson in Melanie Philips’ piece is that you deliberately try to re-engineer a whole country at your peril.

In its 1997 election manifesto, Labour promised ‘firm control over immigration’ and in 2005 it promised a ‘crackdown on abuse’. In 2001, its manifesto merely said that the immigration rules needed [...]

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 [...]
