australia accepted 200000 boat people, page-29

Interesting points of view...Im always caution when I read such extreme views.

If you are able to post here (have internet access) you can at least afford to be a bit more charitable in your views ....being an island we will naturally be insulated and if the people of this country start to have insular/extreme views as opposed to balanced views Australia cant continue to grow and prosper.

Indeed, I noted with interest how this is expected to cost Aust $80M next year from Indian students not taking up their placements in Aust Universities.

Moreover, a few posters could be a bit more practical in their respective points of view. Can I suggest something along the lines that we start will have a balanced and implementable policy.....otherwise you'll continue to expose the rest of us (wider population) as being a bunch of racist!!!! We'll all pay a bigger price than imagined.
