@alexanderwhite @joshgnosis so where does our ferry service end? One for Africa to Italy? If not, why not? You can't be selective.

@BernardKeane@joshgnosis why not? Are you trying to stop people drowning or is it something else? -
@alexanderwhite@BernardKeane stop people drowning and take people who may not be able to afford thousands to pay a people smuggler. -
@Gay_Alcorn why do you assume the latter are somehow "better" refugees, or that there are lots of viable alts to boats? -
@profsarahj they are not "better" refugees, but the ability to pay people smugglers should not determine who gets in on humanitarian grounds -
@Gay_Alcorn we play refugees off against each other -
@profsarahj there are limited places; wealth should not be a determining factor. -
@Gay_Alcorn there are ridiculously few places in Autsralia. We absorbed many more in 80s with smaller population -

@profsarahj yes, so a good thing IMO Labor is promising substantial increase. - 4 more replies
