It has taken only a year for the report that purported to offer an end to the tide of boat people to be revealed not merely as ineffective but, much worse, as a perverse prescription for the further erosion of Australia's border security  

Like his predeccessors, Brendan O'Connor seems to believe that ridiculing Tony Abbott will stop those boats. And do you know what? Incompetence, incoherence and misleading press release will not stop them either

Even after all the wasted lives and dollars, place no great stock in the Gillard government's embrace of Nauru, where a re-built camp will neither deter the boats nor diminish the shame of four years' incompetence and posturing

Labor doing what Labor does best.

Get Up has mutated into the PC enforcement wing of the federal Labor party.

Gillard’s response to the latest tragedy has been superb to date; she hasn’t opened her mouth and said a word. No sentences with fourteen references to Tony Abbott; no attempt to deny four years of failure.

The latest episode of the left's default position – when in doubt, hate – is the attempt to prevent the Israel Research Forum at Sydney University next week.

Labor does not and has never processed asylum seekers offshore. In fact, they secured government in 2007 on the premise that they would end offshore processing.

The safest way to stop the boats – remove Labor from Government.
