i see it as a very real possibility. then we have "first world" people, who are nothing more than economic refugees, coming to Australia. which is amusing, because those against "boat people" seem to think that if they're on the boat for economic reasons, then it's not on and theyshould be...

i see a worrying trend. we start with this attitude of "too bad so sad" for a reasonably developed (i say reasonably because the sewer system is 2000 years old and you cant even put paper in it) country with 11mil people. we then get a domino effect across the already indebted parts of the...
