Kenpitt, according to the latest Lonergan Poll, they are listening:
"... Survey reveals 57% of people believe Australia should increase numbers of Syrian refugees, but 54% also think PM’s approach has been poor. ..."
"... Asked by Lonergan Research whether Australia should increase its intake of refugees, 57% answered yes and 43% said no.
Asked to rate the Abbott government’s response to the refugee crisis in
Syria and the Middle East, 54% said it was poor and 46% rated it as good. ..."

Let's hope that Tony Abbott's latest backflip includes dropping the bigoted statement about taking Christians first. IMO 12,000 is just a start but the message it sends to the World is huge - we're not the inhumane mongrels we appear to be under Abbott's oppressive regime.
IMO that's GIANT step for this man and one giant leap for Australia's humanity!
