hundreds escape detention, page-11

DaveR - if you are taking it over 10 years, there were almost none from 2002 to 2008 due to the efficiency of the Pacific solution.

Most of these arrivals have turned up in the last 3+ years, so it's pretty silly to average it out to include the successful years of the Pacific Solution.

In any case, it's not so much the quantity as the quality. When the likes of Captain Emad can slip in so easily with a bit of deception, how many more smugglers and terrorists are also coming in?

If we had the same number of GENUINE refugees who have been waiting in squalid camps for years, I would not feel so concerned. Boat arrivals are coming in without ID. Bit hard to believe they ALL had no papers.
