Comments on: An asylum seeker saw no way out of Australia’s immigration purgatory. The numbers paint a bleak picture https://www.crikey.com.au/2024/09/03/australia-immigration-waiting-times-mano-yogalingam/ On politics, media, business, the environment and life Mon, 09 Sep 2024 23:23:40 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.5 By: Psycho https://www.crikey.com.au/2024/09/03/australia-immigration-waiting-times-mano-yogalingam/#comment-751241 Mon, 09 Sep 2024 23:23:40 +0000 https://www.crikey.com.au/?p=1172707#comment-751241 These figures are shocking and distressing. Why can’t our politicians do a better job of looking after asylum seekers, our finances and our international reputation as well as our sense of guilt and shame in allowing this to happen? How do we change this, when no-one is offering a solution instead of all competing to show how tough they are.

I can barely understand what’s written there, but I can tell from the bits I do understand that there’s a lot going on inside your head that has only the most tenuous connection to reality.

Dr Trolly LOL

You claim to know so much about demography, population and immagration, guess who in your Tanton mob said this in 1970? 

They also masqueraded as a right on centrist or progressive environmentalist, when in fact more a Madison Grant style ultra conservative ecologist, viewing humans as animals.

‘There is no reason blacks outght to be concerned with saving a world they don’t have a piece of’

Maybe better not to guess (correctly) as you will not be popular blowing a 2+ generation astroturf post white Australia and similar in the US.

LNP and bipartisan bigotry, for a proxy post white Australiampolicy?

LOL. Refugees are an immigration rounding error.

The majority of immigration for most of the last LNP Governments has been “not-white”. So, safe to say they haven’t got any white Australia policy, proxy or otherwise.

However, you blame or dog whistle international students for slow or no processing of asylum seekers and refugees ie. a pathway out of this ‘hostile onshore environment’ informed and nurtured by SPA and your friends at Tanton Network who promote ‘social-Darwinism, border wars and population control to & through the RW MSM & politics? See Fox News as the mothership?

This is false.

All great research and concise information. But it is too traumatic and shameful to read and absorb. That we deliberately task and finance whole departments to administer this institutional cruelty is a moral stain on all of us.
