    Well, they should have just asked for water.

    “In Australia, free drinking water must be available on licensed premises at all times when the premises are open to the public.”

    The Labor Government want to get onto this quickly and quietly! This is such a culture war risk for them. Also, with the geopolitical way the world has turned, theres a real national security angle to making sure the borders are patrolled adequately, however costly that is.

    Of course whatever they do they have to remember Dutton’s mantra, “We don’t comment on, on water matters.”


    Also, are these fishermen charged with things like illegal entry, and illegally fishing? Surely theres criminal remedies that come into play at some point otherwise theres no deterrent.

      Direct contact with the foreign boogeyman is incredibly dangerous. It has been shown to reduce baseless fears and prejudices. In some cases it can even redirect that anger towards the real problems in the world.

      This must be stopped

        These pieces of shit are out fishing for endangered shark species in another nations waters and you want to moralise about meeting the neighbours?

        Cunts should be sunk on sight.

        I’m more talking about thebpolitical risk, and marginally about enforcement of fishing rights in exclusive zones. As fish stocks are depleted north of Australia, we’ll see more of this, better we can have a predictable, coherent and sustainable policy from the beginning.

        Can’t help thinking of this Sean Lock DERAILS Show and His Career With ‘Nazi Island’!!.


        But in all seriousness this kind of immigration culture war shit was a huge totem hanging around the last Labor government, and certainly contributed to their downfall. I don’t want to see conservatives, of any stripe, come back in federally for a long time. Labor might not be all people hoped for but they’re doing more than almost a decade of Coalition ever did.
