Re: The Health and Safety can be alittle strange at times
Brian, $10,000 Dollars isn't much when you and your family and descendants are going to be living the rest of your lives on benefits! Wonder what stories they are told to induce them to make these kind of payments, when in their own country with that amount of money they could live like kings. But then again they cannot change their own rulers ways of ***** but they can change our rulers to their ways, resulting where-in the minority rules the indigenous majority

Naughty beginning with " I " - could it be " In Blackpool " ?

Re: The Health and Safety can be alittle strange at times
With that sort of money what is to stop them from catching a flight at a fraction of the cost. Is it because they don't have a visa for their passports which they should have kept as proof of what nationality and who they were that they were probably advised to destroy. These are mainly what they are called illegal immigrants and not refugees. By their selfish and unfeeling greed they are keeping genuine refugees who are sitting in camps awaiting their turn to be accepted in the quota of the country probably for years longer than necessary. They are mostly greedy and selfish, people who obviously have no qualms about putting their childrens lives at stake, on a gamble that they know in the past has every chance of being pulled off. They have continuous contact by phone to previous illegals now living in Australia advising them what to do, most of these people should not be here either. Let them go through the normal channels the same as everyone else who observes the customs and laws of the country that they hope to settle in. What sort of citizens do you think they will be starting a new life with a to me a criminal record. John Sabourn

Re: The Health and Safety can be alittle strange at times
John, here is a thought for you regarding the matter of sick birds.
To get into Indonesia now ALL arivals must have a visa, so if they can get one for there why not apply for a tourist visa for Oz and come in the front door and claim asylum??


Happy daze John in Oz.
