Tough on illegals? Who’s he trying to kid?
Kevin Rudd unwinds the Howard Government’s tough but highly successful measures against boat people and almost two thousand illegal immigrants find their way onto Australian territory.
Afghan boat people rescued from a vessel which police believe was deliberately set on fire””resulting in five deaths””get residency.
Criminal people smuggling gangs reportedly have thousands of new customers lining up for entry to Australia.
Yet somehow Rudd is able to get away with promoting himself as being tough on illegal immigrants – saying “The Australian government makes no apologies whatsoever for deploying the most hardline measures necessary to deal with problems of illegal immigration into Australia.”
What a joke.
The “most hardline measures” involves nothing more than a phone call to the Indonesian president.
Rudd is not prepared to make the really hard decisions the Howard Government took, decisions that made it deeply unpopular with large sections of the media and the elite commentariat, but decisions that actually stopped the flow of illegal immigrants and stopped the tragic loss of life at sea.
The man is a joke and many in the media are his stooges.
To the concerned citizens of Australia:
There will be a protest on Monday, 16th November, to be held at Martin Place at 12.30pm. This protest will be against Krudd and his hopeless border protection. Come down and support us in protest against the tyrant Krudd.
