Rowan Dean has told Peta Credlin "the story of Australia is the story of post-war immigration ... but it has become a business model for asylum seekers who know how to play the media game." A Tamil family-of-four is currently on Christmas Island awaiting the outcome of an asylum request for their youngest daughter, after being torn away from their home in Biloela, Queensland when the mother’s visa expired in 2018.
"Although this story looks terrific at face value, the key thing is it makes that decision making in government so much harder ... we elect people to make those tough decisions and not pander to the emotion of the crowd," Mr Dean said. "We know there's a real sob-story here ... we'd love to have them in the country, but if we give in on this it opens the floodgates," because the people smuggler business model just needs "one success story," he said.
rowandean And here's me thinking the ' story of australia ' is about boat people OH , you only mean WHITE boat people Got it
rowandean The new business model is a cheap flight into mascot. 64,000 & counting under morrison. You would need several thousand asylum boats to match that. You kids just keep repeating those Lib press releases though. Keep focused on those non existent boats. Your doing great!
