As I've said many times. Polling really does disagree that there are other options for asylum seekers at the moment.

I know a guy who got fired from his funeral home job for getting drunk and trying to drop kick angry Anderson at their end of year Christmas party.

He made the right choice.

Why was Angry Anderson partying at a funeral home?

We laugh, but it worked for Howard when he redefined what the border of Australian territory was for boat arrivals.

On 30 October 2012, the Labor party resolved to excise the entire Australian mainland from the migration zone, in order to remove any incentive for asylum seekers traveling from Indonesia to try to reach the mainland instead of the previously excised territories which are closer to Indonesia.[4] The legislation to excise the mainland itself from the migration zone was passed by Parliament on 16 May 2013.[5][6] Before the excise, asylum seekers who reached the mainland by boat could not be sent offshore to Australian immigration detention facilities on Nauru or Papua New Guinea's Manus Island for immigration processing.[7]

Yeah he did, just never went so far as to excise the friggin' continent from the migration zone.

Speaking of, remember how Rudd said people shouldn't stand for his removal because it'd lead to a lurch right on asylum seekers, then the moment he ousted Gillard he decided persecuting brown people was actually really cool?
