the costs of the boats have been mentioned as being sub $100,000 - no big deal really - if a few dozen can be returned in the boats - a lot cheaper than flying them around, and paying for all associated costs.
SWAP THE BOATS - what a great idea. the lefties will be choking, because they like to claim that it was krudds plan which stopped the boats - but according to scotty, it is the whole suite of measures. krudd would never have towed the boats back, turned the boats back, or done SWAPPIES.
preventing boats getting to australia, is simply the most effective option. in the end, words like "they will never be allowed to settle in australia" might sound somewhat hollow, in the fullness of time - stopping the boats in the first place, is the most effective deterrent
