Certainly must have been bad

Certainly must have been bad for the residents of Christmas island to watch women,babys and children etc die in front of them while feeling helpless to do anything except try and throw life jackets etc,,what they saw will stay with them for the rest of their lives,,

 

Customs knew they were coming but did not go out to meet them apprently,,

cant blame them shorty,

the number #1 rule when it comes to first aid and rescue, is to not endanger your, or anyone elses life.

 

who would want to go out in a massive swell and strong winds?

Yeah thats right Scotto,,but

Wed, 2010-12-15 14:52

Yeah thats right Scotto,,but half the time customs get them after they arrived,,a month back the papers said they intercepted a boat load,,truth was they rolled into town and were at or near the local jetty,,probally getting ready to hit the local pub and get a counter lunch,lol

 

The navy helped rescue these folks,,should have got them earlier instead of waiting to get them on the beach,,

sayinging oh i have 50 of my mates on board weve come to stay

there is a process of migration they should stick to that process

these people come into our country after PAYING GOOD MONEY TO GET ON THAT BOAT!! and expect the world they get internet phones cheap housing loans more dole money than our pensioners who worked there whole life! whilst joe bloggs whos workin his ass off but cant pay for his house loan doesnt get any help and loses his house! the government needs to wake up and start looking after the people who keep this country running!!!!! so in my opinion if there willing to pay that money and jump on a boat trying to screw the system then they got what was coming!

they do not deserve this country!

im a plumber who has done work for a afghan who has only been here for 5 years. he has a 2 story home in landsdale, he is a taxi driver and still owes me $5000 8 months later.  he says he knows our law and there is nothing i can do about it.  why did my taxes even pay for this punk to get processed?  there are plenty of poor people who cant afford the $13000 boat ticket here so they wait in line whilst the rich punks get the first benifits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   fuck them!     Australians work hard as fuck to get nowhere fast and the government doesnt care if they go broke and loose their house. These fu..ers dont even get checked for hiv or TB!   <lung disease>

I don't want to sound racist but I'm with you...

I'm sick of ordinary Aussies getting fucked over by their own government while these so-called 'refugees' come here illegally, get well looked after, and on top of that, demand that their culture be respected!

Now they're protesting because of the boat crash...you're not Australian yet!!! You don't have the right to protest anything we do, besides, you weren't F**king welcome here anyway!!!!

-rant over....sorry

all the way!! its not racist at all!! its called common sense!! look after the people who are keeping this country running!! these so called imigrants get better care than the pensioners who worked fought and paid taxes for this country for many years! how do we know alkida is not putting a few terrorist on each boat and slowly building there group over here! before we no it theres going to be many aussie casualities because the government has let them into our country provided them with funds and set them up nicely!! WAKE UP GOVERNMENT YOUR F###### UP OUR COUNTRY!! we need to act now before its too late!
