The opening line of this piece from the OZ strikes me as the best evidence yet that changing the way that we treat those who arrive by sea in those infamous leaky boats is the key to the solution.
We’ll risk death – but not if door is closed’, asylum-seekers say

The answer is clear. We must close the door and if we want to make a better life for these would be immigrants then lets divert some of the the money that we save when the numbers in detention decline to helping to create economic opportunities for those in places like Cisarua.
makes sense to me Comrades

Iain Hall's SANDPIT 
Ahh Ian, more of these ‘foreign devils’ you so fear come in through the airports and overstay they visas than have ever come by boat.
Guess what the second most spoken language is in Australian homes? It’s Mandarin.
By the time Phoney Tony and the NO Coalition have turned us into the ‘poor white trash of Asia’ they won’t have to bother with coming on boats, they’ll just walk in and take over.
OH Gee—the original white trash the settlers of Australia, also came by boats in the name of the British Empire—an Empire built on slavery, racialism—now what can I say–f*ck the British Empire.
Hi again richard – i see you are still wandering about the intermong self falgelating.
Dear richard, you do realise that this site is for people who have had ‘relataions’ with your mother.
It has been a bit weird since you showed up.
Is there something you would like to share with the group?
Just been over on Bolts blog—-sent a message to davo of The Red Empire, to go f*ck himself, hangs on to Bolt, like a dag on a sheep’s crutch. He gave me a serve yesterday, so I’m returning the favour. Notice Andrew is plugging The Bolt Report—with a 160 comments today, but little or nothing on others.
so that was you, Richard, over on Bolts’ blog. Oh dear, you should really lift your game over there if you want to be considered anything more than an idiot. Over here, we like you, sort of like a pet rodent, don’t change a thing.
GD who blogs under a screen name, why not come out of the closet— (I just don’t understand people who have to blog under screen names) you and your mate Carpe, it’s not hard to do,I have for years—- what are ye lot afraid of? The only one who has the guts to use his name is Iain Hall—–the rest of ye lot are gutless lot of whimps, who probably have to sit on the toilet to have a piss. As for rodents you have more front then a rat with a gold tooth, calling me an idiot,—f*ck-me-dead, look in the mirror—you repulsive, thick failure, with no redeeming features, with a face like a bag of spanners. No wonder they call you 50/50 pretty ugly, behind your back.
Dear richard
AAAAAAAAAAAAhaahahahahahahahahahha
I own you.
Do you post as “Richard Ryan” on Bolt’s Blog Richard?
I did last week, I had one comment—-from davo , but mostly I use screen names, otherwise they don’t see the light of day. Maybe when Bolt asked to name 10 children of the stolen generation, and I in turn asked him to name 10 innocent children of the Holocaust all hell broke loose, some years ago, that was the first I had a reply from a blogger to F.O.A.D.I also had a reply on Bolts blog to go f* ck myself uncensored. Piers Akerman posted my home address on his blog—–I like that, I’m not on their blogs site to make friends—-I am there to rattle them.So this is the only blog site, where “free speech” is practiced, and tolerated. I also write letters to the editors of newspapers, and receive hate mail in turn, when letters are printed, unsigned, I like that also, as I am getting to someone, when you fire the missiles, you must be prepared to have some lobbed back at you,my wife does not like me writing letters, as she is frightened by the threats of some of these letters. Hope that answers your question, Iain Shalom, Richard Ryan
well If you use screen names elsewhere for any reason at all then it makes you a total hypocrite to complain abut the likes of GD or Carpe Jugulum using a screen name here. I know precisely who GD is because he is my friend BTW.
AS my mother use to say: ” tell me who your friends are, and I will tell who you are” I suppose Andrew Bolt is your pretend friend also.
AND then maybe GD is your wife, or maybe your “gay lover”!
You are losing it Richard!
You don’t rattle anyone Richard, you are the laughing-stock of the blogosphere.
btw, you’ve got a wife? Good grief….
Dear richard – please stop listening to the voices in your haed.
I watched your mate Dopey Sophie on Q&A last night—-I hear you been having a few ” wet dreams” over her lately Carpe—-she looked like a stunned mullet there last night—-a pig with lipstick, arf-arf. No wonder the Greeks are f^cked.
Oh Richard you poor sad fellow do you mean this?
Well what did you expect? You never know what terrible diseases that you could catch from a falling Lattesipper
So cruel Iain—–you make me look like one of Cardinal Pell’s altar boy.
On the other hand, imagine Sophie giving you the kiss of life–yuck-yuck, would rather die.
Dear richard does that mean you would rather be tongue kissed by emmo?
At least you and the red dalek would have a talking point.
