I should also add that I am so disappointed that people are buying into the no refugee argument and stopping the boats (that's how most of our refugees arrive - as you can probably imagine if you have half a brain) and looking after Australians first etc. Same bullshit your right wing idiots sprout over there and everywhere else in the world.

Australia has been condemned by every international humanitarian body over the last few years for our vicious policies associated with refugees and illegal immigrants, and I am ashamed that our politicians continue to allow it to happen, but it seems there are more selfish bitter arseholes in this world wanting a hand out than there are people who actually give a shit about children being raped and molested in refugee camps, all at the pleasure of our politicians.

Australia is a country that can help its own citizens if they care to ask for it. We have a pretty good social services system which is available to every citizen whether they pay tax or not. The real issue is the breakdown of the family unit and loss of trust in our neighbours, which is constantly eaten away at by stupid slogans, biased media reporting and a right wing government who only benefits the wealthy and financially independent.
