        No one wants any more deaths at sea but your paper needs to do better than to just act as the Government mouthpiece on this. It goes without saying that we can’t hold asylum seekers indefinitely.

        They had the options of going home or getting resettled in other countries. They chose to stay.

        The boats haven't stopped. The media has simply been gagged from reporting on boat arrivals.

        The boats haven't stopped. You just don't have the balls to bite your pay masters and report it.
