        “And they are saying to people on Nauru now you would be better to go to New Zealand or Australia because they have a better welfare system.” They don't want to work, they just want to bludge. Send them home

        He also said Melbournians were "scared to go out to restaurants" because of "African gang" violence. I think it's far more likely that Peter Dutton is a liar.

        Are you from Melbourne ? I’ve noted Melbourne people have a form of Stockholm Syndrome. Total denial they are the most dangerous State. Denial about a failed govt and judiciary. So bad they embrace it as a badge of honour. Weirdos

        Not all Melburnians 😂 just the inner city ones who prove Melbourne is safe by posting selfies of then eating african food. Those of us in the suburbs know whats going on

        Shows how well we are looking after these parasites ... without our hand outs and unlimited medical attention they might have to work for their lifestyle instead of just demanding it be given for free ... funny that!!!

        90days support and that's it. We should adopt the same policy. Very hard to make ends meet on the minimum wage in the US! Cambodia wouldn't have been so bad after all!

        You're a bit old to be worrying about the future of this country love. You won't be around to live with the ramification of letting these skill less peasants into the country.
