Most of it is an act though. He chosen to take on the role of a bomb-thrower, and he's pretty effective at it (at least in print).

He was smart enough to see the opportunity, and smart enough to be good at it (compare him to Blair or Devine).

Not threatening?

But how much family, if it was only 8 or 9 people then welp, too bad :v:

Seriously though, I would love to see a crowd of (10+) people who personally had history with the Stolen Generation just marched down there in his face, except for the fact that shitheads like him just clutch harder to their factually wrong opinions the more you present them with actual evidence of how loving wrong they are.

Discuss.

Not the worst idea but much like communism this relies on people being different from how people are. Anyone benevolent would not be a dictator you may as well say what if we were governed by a unicorn

You also cannot dictator away all political issues. A dictator cannot make more jobs or better schools through tyranny. Even a kind dictator would be deposed by the people.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS
lol seriously?

quote:

A refugee's visa application would be fast-tracked if they paid a potential $19,000 fee and their family in Australia promised to cover health and welfare costs, under proposals the Abbott government is weighing to cut resettlement costs.

Refugee advocates say the measures, based on a pilot established by the former Labor government, would shift the cost burden onto desperate families in Australia and prioritise people with financial means over those in greater need.

The Department of Immigration and Border Protection rejected suggestions migrants could "buy" a visa, and said the program offers the government another way to reunite refugees with their families.

A government discussion paper outlines a proposed community support program whereby refugees and those in similar situations could apply for a humanitarian visa if family or friends in Australia provided "significant financial support" towards their resettlement.

It would expand a pilot set up in mid-2013, in which a $19,124 fee is charged to the first refugee and $2680 for subsequent applicants - or about $30,000 for a family of five.

That is a piddling amount compared with what it takes to keep a offshore camp running, maybe they could stop spending money on those and spend it on resettling people instead?


It should surprise no one that Labor came up with it first.

Bolt can keep pandering to his old white farts and they can keep dying, slowly and steadily.

hey remember when negligent or craig or whoever the cretin of the month was were going on about how it was immoral for refugees to try to come by boat because they were using their 'wealth' to 'cut in line?' lmao

Actually this is basically an acknowledgment that I've been right all along.

Cashed up supposed refugees are able to self select by consorting in a joint criminal enterprise with people smugglers.

The government has just decided the money is better in the Treasury than in the hands of rapists and murderers.
