Our image to the rest of the world is no longer the friendly  Scott Morrison’s “Where the bloody hell are you” campaign or “We’ll put another shrimp on the barbie”  it’s “Piss off tun around & Go home” Scott Morrison’s latest ad for the ears of refugee asylum seekers coming by boat. Both campaigns intended to capture a world audience. Now the world is watching not in admiration but  disbelief that Tony Abbott our new PM is so anti refugees.The most under populated continent is denying access and safety to the world’s  most needy.
If you listen to Andrew Bolt and Alan Jones we should be vetting and deporting our own nationals to their countries of origin. Abbott and Morrison would love to put their favorite broadcasters on Radio Australia to cement their message.No matter who if you come by boat you are not welcome. Currently our navy has picked up a boat of 41 people heading for NZ. has transferred to a Sri Lankan navy vessel and returned them back to Sri Lanka. Done and dusted in complete secrecy would have been Morrison’s best outcome. Another vessel of 150 was intercepted and the same was about to occur. However the status of this group is now in legal limbo as their circumstance is different from the group of 41 who sailed from Sri Lanka. These are Sri Lankan Tamils but from the refugee camps of India. India refuses to take them back now that they have left. Australia wanted to return them to the place they fled with another quick and secretive transfer at sea. Their refugee status to be determined by 4 questions over the phone in 20 minutes. Currently their is an injunction before the courts trying to prevent that happening.
One wonders if a persons asylum status can be determined by the Immigration Department in 20 minutes why are so many behind razor wire waiting for their cases to be heard? Australia’s  refusal to resettle them on any count  if found legitimate is sheer bastardry on the part of the Abbott government.  As far as Abbott is concerned it’s home, Papua, Nahru  or any other country we can pay to accept them, with a razor wire holiday along the way.  According to Morisson and Abbott they can suck it up because the government has a duty to protect our Sovereign Borders and our National Security from what in many cases are children
Scott Morrison is tortured and in Sri Lanka wondering how his spin doctors allowed the mad monk to open his mouth about issues involving his department of no information. So the world now knows that Tony Abbott is a leader without compassion  that wont be morally blackmailed and  regularly  puts his foot in his mouth. He is on  fast track to trash the countries reputation.
Australian’s are global travellers who are welcomed wherever they go recognized by our Flag,Koala and Boxing Kangaroo. We should be advised to remove these icons from our luggage and Ts in future. Abbott would have flip the bird  as our new national symbol. If we don’t we might be placed under surveillance by national security  along with the 150 Syrian nationals currently os for nefarious reasons like checking on the wellbeing of relatives.
Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi Flip the Bird is not what we’re about.
