NZ to take boat people

Powell was a right wing intellectual who had witnessed the religious genocide of the Partition of India. In 1968, he warned against immigration from mostly former colonies of the Brit Empire. To promote his cause, Powell generated racist propaganda about black residents of British cities. Refugees are not immigrants. Under Key's law, boat people, including women and children, will be held (without trial), in detention camps.

Many years ago, a Mr Enoch Powell, one of the sharpest minds and acknowledged better intellects in England, warned against the possible long-term effects of this sort of thing getting out of hand. He was ridiculed by his more liberal colleagues and finally forced to 'fall-on-his-sword' as politicans were expected to do in those days, instead of resorting to 'damage-limitation' as they do now.

Many millions of Britons exist today who bitterly regret that the 'experts' of his time had failed to heed his advice. By the time that Indonesia spills over into any available surrounding country, much more of Australia will have become only semi-habitable, at best, due to 'global warming'. Guess who these people will have next in their sights?

This goes some way to filling the gap left by the thousands that are leaving each year. Not a good thing I admit but it keeps the numbers up and hides the real problem.

While it is a generous gesture, it is an Australian problem and we are now getting these on our plate. All Kiwis in Australia will not be receiving any social services when residing there and they pay the full rate of taxation. No medicare, or unemployment benefits etc. What are these people going to receive when they arrive here? And will this be perhaps a stepping stone for more to come in the future? This appears to be a strange arrangement and who knows what will be the outcome of it.
