Australian Immigration Daily News

Australia has intercepted another vessel, this one with 67 passengers. 

This means that over 50,000 persons have now arrived illegally into Australia since Rudd got rid of the border protection policies which were in place, and working well under the previous Liberal government.

Over 1000 people have died as a result.

Let's have a look at some raw statistics.  Since Rudd changed Howard's policies, which used to stop the boats, 50,032 people have arrived on 798 boats.  This is quite literally insane. 

Now Australia has implemented the MOU with Papua New Guinea which is being called the 'Papua New Guinea (PNG) solution' (is this something like 'Malaysia NO SOLUTION' - in my opinion - yes!).  Why?  Because now over 1,900 persons arrived since the inception of the 'P.N.G. SOLUTION'

According to Scott Morrison, Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship this has led to AUD11 billion in budget blowouts.  According to Morrison this is money that could be better spent on Australia's hospitals, roads and schools.

It has damaged Australia’s international reputation and weakened our borders.

I guess my question is, does Rudd have the competence to secure the borders?  Or is this a knee-jerk reaction by Rudd to secure last-minute votes before the Federal elections on 7 September 2013.

Operation Sovereign Borders,  is set to be implemented and beled by a senior military commander if the Coalition win the Federal Elections.
