Well it's related to me accusing him of repeatedly pulling the fallacy (or a group facsimile thereof) as a standard tactic of his to avoid the actual issue being discussed.

Yes, but Australia doesn't really exist.

If you have a policy of giving in to blackmail, blackmail inevitably becomes hugely popular.
If people take their kids up onto the roof of a tall building, and threaten to throw them off unless they get resident status, do you give in?
Next week you will get dozens, the week after it will be hundreds, and so on. As soon as someone sees that something works, they go for it themselves. That's why there's a flood across the Med.

In the end, you either give in or stop it. The best policy is to stop it right at the start, before it gets entrenched.

Australia does that, and it works. Is there a flood of boats now, heading for Australia? From what I've read, it's now a tiny trickle.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Coincidentally that is exactly what our Home Affairs Minister, Peter Dutton, better known as Potato, the climate change denialist, told the Murdoch owned national newspaper, The Australian, (of course it's paywalled) last Saturday.
It’s not time to take our foot off the throat of this threat. ...

We are in a danger phase because only a month ago we stopped a steel-hulled vessel with 131 people coming out of Sri Lanka, there are 14,000 people still in Indonesia and there is excited chatter among people-smuggling syndicates about the prospect of Australia being available again.

It's essential that people realise that the hard-won success of the last few years could be undone overnight by a single act of compassion in bringing 20 people from Manus to Australia.

The boats are there, we are scuttling boats, we are returning people and we are turning around boats where it is safe to do so. The boats haven't gone away and if there is a success defined by an arrival of a boat in Australia then the word will spread like wildfire.
In the past five years Australia has issued around 200,000 permanent visas annually. In comparison, no more than 4000 "boat people" ever arrived on our shores in any one year, and 90% of them were determined by the government to be genuine refugees, but by all means, let's not take "our foot off the throat of this threat".

Quite right. Something's working, so abandon it? That makes sense. :funny:

Shooting them would work too. That would probably make sense to you too... :roll:

The people traffickers wouldn't think twice about shooting them, if they don't get their money. That's what you lefty bleeding heart liberals are enabling, by making their trade profitable. Once the mugs get in, they are in slavery for the next ten years minimum, paying off the gangs.
