    The Aussie taxpayer has become a sucker, as more and more 'welfare shoppers' are allowed and encouraged to push and barge their way into this country, so they can suck of the teat of Government welfare, to which they have not made a single contribution.What a pathetic and stupid Federal Government we have installed in OZ!

    They are coming "through the proper channels". All perfectly legal and legit.

    Article 14 of the Declaration of Human Rights states that 'everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution’.

    Plus, there are no queues for Iraqi or Afghan refugees. Australia has no diplomatic presence in those countries and maintains trading sanctions imposed on Iraq by the United Nations Security Council in 1990.

    No queues.

    We need to keep it just the way it is.

    "Any person who owing to a well founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his/her nationality and is unable, or owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself/herself of the protection of that country."

    Perfect definition of a refugee.

    Perfect description of billions of people on Earth, if they happen to be outside of their own dung heap.

    There are queues everywhere. Anyone who can't see them, like Blind Freddie, does not want to see them.

    Heres' a hint. It helps to open your Politically Correct eyes, even once in while!

    So you keep saying.

    However, you never provide any evidence.

    Alternatively, when I say there are no queues I provide lots of good evidence.

    "There is a view that asylum seekers, particularly those who arrive in Australia by boat, are ‘jumping the queue’ and taking the place of a more deserving refugee awaiting resettlement in a refugee camp. The concept of an orderly queue does not accord with the reality of the asylum process."

    http://www.aph.gov.au/library/pubs/BN/sp/Asylumfacts.htm

    "Fact: In Iraq and Afghanistan, there are no queues for people to jump. Australia has no diplomatic representation in these countries and
    supports the International coalition of nations who continue to oppose these regimes and support sanctions against them. Therefore, there
    is no standard refugee process
    where people wait in line to have their applications considered."

    Yes, it most certainly is. It's evidence to any reasonable person.

    Scroll back through the entire thread: I've provided many more pieces of evidence.

    Now, how about someone provide evidence that there is a queue.
    Something. Anything.

    Well, I issued the challenge yet no one can provide any evidence.

    I think that pretty much closes the case on this one: no queue exists.

    It's a long a winding queue stretching ever so far, but so easily manipulated by those with the right connections and,most if al,l MONEY! It is the lubricant by which these 'illegals' jump the ship so to speak, and barge and push their way into OZ!

    Boy aren't we suckers!

    If something does not exist then there is a lack of evidence for such. The fact that there is no evidence that there is a queue means it does not exist. I dont think you or your mates understand this simple logical concept too clearly.

    Then provide evidence that one exists. If a queue does exist, as you say it does, you should be able to show us.

    You have just been shown that a queue doesn't exist. Why do you persist in claiming there is one?

    To all those that keep saying there isnt a queue


    Please explain the UN verified refugees sitting in camps all over the world waiting for there chance to come here? The may not be a "queue" as such but there is a waiting list... Stop being foolish about it and move on.

    So you admit that there is no queue.

    Good, glad we have that out of the way.

    They are UN verified refugees, not asylum seekers.

    Asylum seekers and refugees are two completely different things.

    There are no queues for asylum seekers.

    100% correct.

    No, not for asylum seekers.

    No, not for asylum seekers.

    You're confusing asylum seekers with refugees.

    Two different things.
