Its a very vibrant place. Lots going on. No political unrest that I read or saw.
These "refugees' are purely opportunists looking at the socialist paradise of Australia as being better than their communist paradise.
How dare this government let this happen. MASSIVE pull factors with no attempt to solve the crisis.
This is how you fix it:
Withdraw from the UN convention set in 1948. Times have changed. Install Howard policies of TPV and off shores processing Do not let families of illegal immigrants come in years later. Increase our genuine refugee count by 25 % NO welfare outside of detention centres. Turn back the boats where practical to do so.
More radical
Annex Christmas island from the mainland or even lease it to the USA as a pacific military base.
