The Asylum Seeker IssuePosted in: Newshit, Political Commentary
An ‘I Eat Media for Breakfast Production’.
The ongoing battle between the Australian Government, the asylum seeking refugees and the Indonesian foreign ministry has sparked me to have my say.
My stance: Australia shouldn’t just open it’s doors, nor should we not allow anyone in. We need to develop a policy that deals with this problem in a structured way, rather than the boat by boat basis which is currently being used. It’s inevitable that asylum seeker numbers will increase as the world population grows and Australia remains spacious. Furthermore, although we need to protect our society and cultural values, we shouldn’t be scared of new ones. For many of us, we were part of the new cultures being brought to Australia 10, 20, 30 or 50 years ago, and we have been crucial in shaping Australia into the society it is today.
I hope you enjoyed and feel free to add some scrambled eggs to the breaky (your opinions that is).

Not really sure of what the best policy would be, I don’t have a whole government department dedicated to figuring it out though. What I do know, is that there is a problem!
Thanks for the comment!
