Asylum Seekers

[Artie]

I don't know if many of you are aware, but we are being inundated with illegal boat people who are trying to enter Australia by boat from places like Indonesia. These people are claiming refugee status. They come from countries such as Pakistan and Afganistan. They use their ID papers to travel to Indonesia and then destroy them before paying smugglers to ship them to Australia. The Australian Government (God bless them) has put its foot down and is refusing to allow any more boat people into Australian waters. We have a number of navy battleships patrolling the waters between Indonesia and Australia trying to turn the boats back. The latest trick the asylum seekers are doing when faced with Australian navy ships is to throw their children into the ocean with the hope that Australia will take them. This is one of the latest episodes.
