UN's Comments - A Boat Load of Danger for Refugees

Tony Abbott has been refocusing his attention to get the message out of late that a Coalition government would turn the refugee boats back.

What I find interesting about this is the that United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, among others, has criticised the Abbott approach.

While we can understand the UN’s position is to remind Australia that they want us to take refugees it is important that the UN and other refugee advocates don’t get so caught up in their own message that they forget reality.


The reality is that people are not only at risk of dying when they get into these dangerous, leaky, over crowded vessels but many have died trying to get to Australia in this way.

Tony Abbott is saying he is going to use every resource available to Australia to protect those vulnerable and desperate people, to protect them, and their children, to keep them safe and protect their lives.

He is saying he will work to stop uncaring criminals from taking their money and sending them out to sea in the hope that Australia might rescue their sinking vessel before they drown.

For that the UN criticises him?

Am I still allowed to have a view or am I now discriminated against for my views?

The issue of gay marriage is one that pretty quickly divides the community.

In one corner you have those in favour.
In another corner those opposed.
Then you have people who really don’t mind either way, and in the other corner there are a few people still trying to work out what they think.

Frankly I’m opposed to gay marriage, I think marriage stands for, well marriage, between a man and woman, a husband and a wife.
While I’m being perfectly blunt I’m not a big fan of the whole homosexual, gay lesbian, bi transexual transgender lobby campaign that tries to guilt trip the rest of the community into not speaking up about their views on what is traditionally called a marriage.


Now a lot of people will tell me I’m out dated and maybe even that I’m wrong.  

Don’t get what I said confused.  I’m happy to speak with, work with, live beside people whatever their views or their sexuality is, and I don’t have a problem with that.

We live in a democratic country.

If I don’t agree with an outspoken group of the community am I still able to freely and peacefully express my views without fear of being hauled before the anti-discrimination tribunal?


Aren’t I?
