Oh give me a break. It was 7 o’clock on Sunday morning. I’d be surprised if there were thousands, much less hundreds of thousands, of motorists (none of whom are “commuters” under the usual Mon-Fri definition).

And no matter how many (or few) people wanted to cross, they could have done so:

(a) by train; or
(b) by car through the Harbour Tunnel, which follows precisely the same route

with no delay whatsoever.

There’s a lot to complain about with this govt, but this isn’t one of them.

While they use ‘border security” to beat up on refugees they are sending more cops and spies to Asia to track and hound refugees. Not criminals smuggling drugs, or child sex slavers, or labour slave traders, or sex slave traffickers. Just refugees.

Reading Tuesday’s estimates was like plunging into the worst spy novel ever written but the clowns actually think they have the right to do it.

Then we see that they have set up security cameras for the Sri Lankan government to track Tamils through the airports and then they whine if some catch boats to Australia instead of flying here like they used to.

Tamils who could fly had a 80% success rate without any appeals needed.

Meanwhile we claim we have to stop the dangerous boats, but all the boats get here quite safely until we interfere with the rights of the passengers to claim asylum.

We then pack them onto war ships and traffic them across the oceans from 1800-3600 km, lock them up and never tell they why.

Good to see Jessie Taylor’s story finally getting some coverage and the mainstream also showing images of young Afghans in that dreadful prison we have built illegally in Indonesia - what right to our cops have to arrest people in other countries when they have committed no crime?

These are the questions the media don’t ask. Or why it is we are breaching the people smuggling protocols that state clearly we mustn’t punish those who have to use “smugglers” or the “smugglers” for giving them a ride.

O’Connor is now claiming that anyone who gives a refugee a ride is a criminal and Evans is still babbling like a lunatic about “border security” when signatory countries guaranteed they would not close borders to refugees.

Crikey A TOP EDITORIAL — again, thank you Crikey.

An excellent intellegent media contribution to our ‘all of our’ national problem which like all national problems is so totally a global one.
“…In the meantime, though, the media will continue to obsess about symptomatic and ultimately trivial issues like the Oceanic Viking and the political point-scoring that trails emptily in its wake. …”
The media is more than obsessed, its mentally ill (obsession to extremes) about refugees or asylum seekers. Just as it has been about the little harmless pigglet flu, the truely deadly bird flu and just about anything that it thinks it can freak the population out over.
This ‘freak index’ needs to be studied to discover if the terror caused competes for a terrorists title. Related words and concepts Freak - Terror - Terrorist.
