plight of our farmers vs illegal asylum seeker, page-12

"Australia has a population of 25 million & each year there are a few thousand boat asylum seekers"

------------------

When I went to school and university, a "few thousand" equaled approximately 2,000, give or take.

Asylum Arrivals by boat in 2012 = 17,204

Asylum Arrivals by boat in 2013 = 20,587

Benefit of the doubt - Has the definition of a "few thousand" changed? - is a "few thousand" now equal to 15,000-20,000? Is this what they teach in school these days? Then I guess we'd have to pass this off as pure ignorance.

Or, is this just an attempted 'porky pie'?

If so, 20,000/2,000 = 10

So I guess that must be 10 times bad karma.
