there was a report in the australain newspaper, that the rudd government was thinking about sending the boat to the phillipines, to some internationa refugee detention centre (or soemthing like that). watso is not too sure what that will achieve, if the tamils refuse to get of the boat.
this is all a joke - from what watso recalls, the boat that they were in, was in trouble, so the australians send a boat to rescue them - so the people are not remotely thankful that they have been saved - but now hijack the ship.
what should be done next time, is that the boats should be allowed to sink, and a rescue vessel be waiting to pick up the people, but only on condition that they sign paperwork, agreeing to get of the boat, at the first port of call. just see, how quick they would be to sign mmm not sure how that would work, as no doubt the claim would be made that they signed under duress.
it seems that the tamil called alex, claimed to have had a mba - which one would assume would be part of his cover story, when applying for asylum
wilson tuckey was correct, when he claimed that the asylum seekers could be terrorists - as the guy allex, seemed to have no problems in inflecting terror on people when he was in canada.
other refugees have to wait years to be resettled - these people can go to the end of the line - that is only fair.
