Regarding the final article in Backlash from your un-named correspondent.
As usual, Backlash is the repository for fake news and this article on Peter Dutton is no exception.
It should be pointed out that Mr Dutton was not responsible for illegal immigrants held in offshore camps. That was the brainchild of Messrs Rudd and Bowen, aided and abetted by Ms Gillard.
During both Dutton’s and Morrison’s tenure in government, they were able to stop the flow of illegals.
Between them they spent six years endeavouring to fix the Labor stuff-ups.
Perhaps your correspondent could do the decent thing and apologise to Mrs Dutton.
Refugees seeking assylum are NOT illegals.
From 1946 to 1966 over two million refugees came to Australia. They did NOT come on leaky boats or drown at sea. We paid their fares on cruise ships. They worked hard and made this country what it is today.
We didn’t spend billions locking them up on some hellhole and torturing already traumatised people.
Today refugees today are the collateral damage in an effort by some disgraceful, desperatel politicians to win elections, as they have little to offer Australians.
The challenge for Australians is to stop these awful pollies from desntroyig the joint. DON”T VOTE FOR THEM.
