Right now there is a boat load of ex Sri Lankans , docked in Indonesia, that were rescued by Australia Customs. The majority of whom have admitted to having lived in Indonesia for the last 5 years. Now that the Australian Government immigration policies have softened, they have taken the opportunity to pay tens of thousands of dollars each to illegally migrate to Australia.
Now these are people that left Sri Lanka before the turmoil over the last few years. These are people that have passed by 34 other countries to get to Australia. The have lived in another country for 5 years, and have not developed businesses or a life in the community in that time frame. Given this, why would you expect that if they came to Australia, they would be beneficial parts of society?
In the 5 years they have been in Indonesia, they have had plenty of time to apply to become immigrants, they choose not to, they choose to jump the queue and come anyway.
They have committed a crime against Australia before they even get to Australian land. This should be enough for them to automatically be rejected. They have now hijacked a rescue vessel, refusing to get off. They are now black mailing Australia, that if they are not allowed to come to Australia then they will starve themselves. Sri Lanka has already provided intelligence that some of them are known criminals.
How many more crimes are they going to be allowed to commit before they are physically ejected from the Customs vessel?
These ex Sri Lankans make the legitimate refugees look bad.
Australia should be taking refugees, we should be accepting immigrants, but this boat load are criminals in their own country and Australia. We should not be accepting them, our penal colony days are over, we live in the greatest country. People that want to come to this country should treat it with respect. These attempted illegal immigrants / blackmailers do not deserve to be part of this country.

Australian Refugee V’s Aged Pensioners
Are you aware of the following?
The Australian Federal Government provides the following financial assistance:-
BENEFIT
AUSTRALIAN AGED PENSIONER
Weekly allowance $253.00
Weekly Spouse allowance $56.00
Additional weekly hardship allowance $0.00
TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT $16,068.00
OVERSEAS REFUGEE LIVING IN AUSTRALIA
Weekly allowance $472.50
Weekly Spouse allowance $472.50
Additional weekly hardship allowance $145.00
TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT $56,680.00I don’t know about you, but I think this stinks.
If I was a refugee, why would I look for work?
Maybe all of the pensioners should apply for refugees status claiming persecution from their government.Please forward to all your contacts so that we can lobby for an increase in the aged pension.
After all, the average pensioner has paid taxes and contributed to the growth of this country
for the last 40 – 60 years. -
