Hi,
I am not so sure why the two sides are so entrenched in their views about boats. Maybe the govt should explain this in simple, clear and understandable terms about the impacts the unchecked and unplanned boat arrivals will have on the govt services. For example the labour spent more than $5 billion (than allocated in the budget) on these unplanned boa ties. This amount just happens to be almost equal what the current govt is trying to save for tightening the disability pension, old age pension indexation and age increase, delayed dole for young and so on.
The above works every time. My daughter was a staunch greenie in the uni and since she started working and paying tax, she has understood the implication in no time. She is still a greenie but won't vote for them as long as they paddle policies which will increase tax burden further.

What about the Billions of dollars it COSTS the taxpayers of prop up the mining industry so BHP and Rio can keep the profit margin? While we are discussing what its costing I think we should look at the BIG drainers to the Australian taxpayer.
