#1 I've seen Australian sources that said they will be accepting Christian refugees. For example

Ever since that recent hostage incident in a cake shop, the Ozzies seem to be pushing back against the Islamics.

#2 Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
" Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"

#4 Western Nations that take refugees should make it very clear that refugees are not immigrants and that they must return when whatever caused them to become refugees is gone. Also if they break a single law they should be deported.

#5 we dont want them. we have 15,000 west papuan refugees sitting in PNG on our northern border. We should take them first - they are christians fleeing an Indonesian muslim genocide.

We dont take them because they are not in the news and people dont know about them.

they are not in the news because, unlike the US, Australia does not value freedom of speech or the press. We have not got a bill of rights, or a first amendment.

Australia is run by DFAT and the spy agencies - they are now above the law. Its a nominal democracy only.

DFAT and the spy agencies have decided that West Papua is not to be talked about. They do not want to upset Indonesia, a muslim nation of 250 million people to our north with better guns than us and a lucrative trade market.

So neither major political party mentions them and no mainstream media reports them.

But we get news about syria because that is far away.

So the public clamour and because it means nothing and doesnt upset indonesia, the government accepts syrians.

It is a lie that Abbott will take the christians first.

He wont

he will take whatever muslims he is given and he wont even bother to screen out the sharia supporters from the secular.

this is because it is the Department of Immigration that does the processing not him or his party

and the Department has rules which its bureaucrats must follow

and those rules do not allow it to discriminate on the grounds of religion.

so they will not

we will be importing more IS, sharia promoters and fans of the Caliphate to join the hizb ut tahrir that are already here

#6 Australia should build a city up in the swamps up North and let the Papuans live there. Let any Chinese boat people live there as well. Create a little Hong Kong.

But I wouldn't let Muslim immigrants in. I believe ISIS when they said that flooding the west with troops pretending to be refugees, and even if that were untrue they tend not to assimilate and demand the host country bend to their will. Bad guests.

#7 a mini hong kong up north would be great

even better would be removing recognition of Indonesia's illegal occupation of West Papua and referring it to the UN Trusteeship Council for administration until it can stand on its own feet
