dislike isn't strong enough for this waste of space. she complains about everything and everyone, yet she's unemployed, seems barely literate, and left school at 14. she contributes nothing to society and yet thinks she has a right to hate people just trying to survive? what an absolute bitch.

Why attack her, why not comment on the issue, as an Aussie I am worried about the future for me here in this country. We should be looking to other countries that have faced similar unchecked refugee issues and learn from their mistakes and current problems. I personally dont object to "contributing" refugees but we have become a soft target for anyone who wants a new start. My biggest gripe is that when I retire after fifty plus uninterrupted years of service to this country I probably wont even get a pension whereas if I arrive today as a refo I will be on a pension for life and never have to work a day and if I breed like a rabbit I will be living like a millionaire all at the expense of ME the bloody sucker taxpayer who has no say in the matter. So wake up all you do gooders, you are giving this country away in small pieces and I'm not happy about it and I dont think that I am alone.

Australia will go the way England has.
Don't attack her for saying what 81% of what people think.... Don't get personal get logical.

I agree wholeheartedly with imalwaysright and Pbrennan. the japanese in ww11 had it all wrong! all they had to do was jump on a bunch of crappy old boats, arrived here and we would have given the place to them with cash bonuses. the sad thing is all those poor misguided Aussies who died to give us the freedom we have. I was born here and as a taxpayer have paid my taxes all my working life to earn the right to call this country my home. If my home is threatened, whether by direct attack or this malignant drip feeding of so called refugees who will mostly congregate in communities of their own with no interest in Australia other than the handouts we are offering on a silver platter , then i reserve the right to defend it. These bastards need to earn the right to live here. I am fed up to the back teeth with the weak kneed lily livered endless patronising drivel our useless waste of space give ourselves a pay rise politicians keep dishing out to us. When are we going to start looking after our own? Our hospital system, which we paid for, can't keep up as it is without these freeloaders increasing the burden! Soon our produce won't be able to keep up with the population growth because we are either selling our land to overseas interests or mining the hell out of it.
How many of these refugees will have an undying passion for this country? I'll tell you what, just for starters, how about we require them to speak english, become an AUSTRALIAN citizen and register for work for the dole!

Rachel is her own problem, not mine & is irrelevant, refugees are making a difference.At our local primary school, an Afghani boy who has been here less than 5 years has learnt English, learn to read, do maths etc is in line to dux the school, wants to play soccer for OZ & recently played Romeo in the school play that was so powerful that the audience cried
