Has Australia Got it all Wrong with the Boat Refugees?
Australia has a lot of problems with refugees arriving on boats from Asian countries. They have tried many costly ways to prevent them coming, and if they get here try to process them offshore to avoid other issues.
The would be immigrants show a lot of courage and drive to even attempt the long journey in small boats and I wonder why Australia would try so hard to deter people that would surely be such good citizens. Obviously we do not want criminals entering Australia but they would be more likely to arrive by plane than risk a perilous boat voyage.
The illegal immigrants are often held for months or longer while the authorities decide whether they are genuine refugees or undesirables which causes a lot of distress to the people and a lot of expense to the nation. Have we got it all wrong?
Maybe we should be attacking the problem in a new way. What if Australia decided that these courageous people are very desirable immigrants and allowed them much easier and quicker access to our country and used other means to protect us from undesirables and criminals.
Perhaps we could prevent these immigrants from becoming naturalised for five or more years and if they were convicted of any crime before being naturalised, immediately deport them back to the country they came from.
There would probably not be any trouble in the camps housing the immigrants as they would be processed quickly and humanely but if there was trouble surely the culprits could be deported on the next plane available. People rioting and burning cars and buildings would not be tolerated and how many would attempt to if they knew the consequence would be immediate deportation.
Many people have used the refugee problem to advance their own causes with over simplified solutions to the problem of the boat people. Statements like “Meet the boats and turn them around and make them go back. ” Desperate people will not willingly turn back and how do you force them. In the past the boats have been deliberately sunk by the crew. Do we let them drown? Do we shoot them?
There could be reasons that some solutions would not work but we need some new ideas on a way to solve the problem as we are getting it wrong now. Australia could welcome these immigrants as people that would assimilate into our way of life, not try to change our ways and customs as some other arrivals do. It would be great if we could deport some of our home grown criminals wouldn’t it.

A Not-So-Brave New World
It is the same with Christians who see their symbols mocked, mistreated and maligned, yet there are no riots. In 2008 a church in the United States raised money and sent a shipment of bibles to Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan. Worried that the Holy books might be distributed amongst the general population, our military burned them for fear of angering local Muslims. Notice the complete absence of concern that Christians would be angered at having their Holy book burned.

What Does the Reign of Terror Have to Do With Revolution 2. 0?
In the course of human events things sometimes get so bad that something must change and everyone knows it. This is what we are seeing play out across the Arab world today. The problem is that a common effort of getting rid of a Mubarak or Gadhafi does not result from the work of a single leader. As we see in Revolution 2. 0, social media are strong in spreading a consensus quickly, but they are poor at identifying leadership.

Delta Gubernatorial Election: Anioma’s Best Bet
The gallant outing of Aniomas for the DPP in the last national assembly election – despite PDP’s fierce rigging here & there & the declaration of PDP Senatorial candidate as ‘winner’ in the Delta North Senatorial election at gunpoint – is most commendable. As we did or voted in the National Assembly election even now much more; as we tried to defend our votes (despite the brute offence from PDP) even now much more: in the gubernatorial election. Let us vote Ogboru to usher in our dream!

Small Cap Shares still Under Priced on the Australian Stock Market
Blue chip shares have mostly returned to their true value as well as many dividend paying shares but the small cap spec shares are still bargain priced. What are small capitalisation spec shares? Shares under 50 cents would be considered highly speculative and small cap. That does not mean all low cost shares are extremely risky and poor value on the contrary many penny shares have great prospects of becoming the “blue chips” of the future and returning bonanza percentage gains.

At 49 he understood that he was killing himself and decided to change his ways.
