A Restriction on Bringing Relatives Here Is Needed for Unaccompanied Boat Children

Privilege given to asylum minors must be changed. Australian immigration is giving priority to unaccompanied children so that they do not have to face the hardship of being locked up for years. However, this is being used as a stepping stone to get relatives here. The number of children on their own coming here by boat has sky rocketed. One sixth of new arrivals from Afghanistan and Iran are unaccompanied children. This is way ahead of one twelfth for Pakistan.

Like the Afghan man in Indonesia who boldly instructed Australia to hurry up and let him in so he can bring his wife and six children here, this nation is being taken for granted, as easy. Some boat people are plainly arrogant. This man had no feeling for those drowned in the recent boat sinking near Christmas island. All he could say was "at least the survivors are here now while I am stuck in Indonesia."

A restriction of say five years needs to be put on new permanent residents before they have the right to bring out other family members. Considerable time is needed before a wife can follow a husband here. We need such a deterrent. Sure there is a war in Afghanistan but not every disenchanted Afghani can come to Australia.

Australia Has Done the Right Thing in Delaying Processing of Boat People

With Christmas Island bursting at the seams the Government had no choice but to say stop, that is enough. The six month delay in processing of boat people from Afghanistan and Sri Lanka will make potential boat people think again. Unfortunately, those already here are worrying about being processed, but the Government has said it will do checks on those soon. "Genocide" is being used in relation to Tamils. Using words like that will only make the situation worse. Tamils have not been killed indiscriminately.

ASIO has become involved with processing. It has placed some people on a "danger" list of possible activists. If they are militants they will be sent home. ASIO must be allowed to do its job. That is what is was created for.

Tamils were not put into "concentration" camps. In fact, people wanted to stay in the camps. They were forced to leave. Tamils have arrived here believing what people traffickers had told them - that it would be easy. They are surprised when they are not given access to Australia. Obviously, there will be disappointment.

With the UN report on refugees showing Australia was the only country to have an increase in refugees, the Government had to do something. With the door now closed to Australia, albeit temporarily, maybe some will choose to go home.

Anthony Bergin Is Trying to Stop Whaling Protesters by Banning Them at Australian Ports

Anthony Bergin of the Age is completely wrong when he condemns protesters, calling for the Australian Government to ban them from Australian ports. He is not living in a fascist country where any sort of protest is stomped on smartly. He would like everyone to accept the deceitful Japanese - Yes the government of Japan is deceitful, knowingly breaking international law. Anthony Bergin likes to portray himself as the know it all which he is not. His articles have a photograph of him staring wistfully back at you with an air of comfort and righteousness. He is a researcher giving advice to those who act. Consequently, his talks can be totally ignored.

For the Australian Government to be even handed it either leaves both sides alone, which it is doing, or takes legal action against protesters and Japanese fishermen alike. Since when is protesting piracy? The dictionary definition of piracy is "an act of robbery on the high seas". Protesters are not taking anything from anyone. they are preventing the Japanese from stealing whales from the rest of us.

I do believe that continuation of the protest action is vital to keep the spotlight on the killing of whales. If people do nothing then the Japanese get the green light to carry on as usual. It can only be hoped that China invests more money than Japan with developing Islander nations to get the votes reversed at the Commission meeting in Morocco. It would be a good thing for the world if the rogue country of Japan went into economic crisis and did not have the money to invest with small nations.
