    Another troll..........why do you attempt to upset discussions. At what point do you allow people to discuss topics without senseless interjections!

    Signing this convention is a great idea. Any time some primitive third world tribe is losing the latest ethnic conflict (they have been conducting since time immemorial) they get to all go and live with Whitey. What could go wrong!

    If our money markets collapse, we will simply be in the same boat! Money is our peace keeper.........morality as we know it will be all out the window and that is why we should be focussing on issues on moral grounds rather than completely letting economics rule our decisions! Humanity has to be based on more than a shallow feature that can be lost overnight!

    90% of boat people are deemed genuine refugees, but you wouldn't know it reading the ugly diatrabe here... they want to spin it another way.

    Never let a fact get in the way of a good dose of bigotry and bitterness towards those in abject need and towards humanity in general.

    Yes, refugees are 'scumbags' and 'criminals', take a bow, bigots. It's quite something that when Culldav calls refugees 'scumbags' and 'criminals', that people rally to 'like' his posts. Bigots.

    PMSL. Surely your drug dealer has to run out of that cheap stuff soon. I mean, his super dooper, bottom shelf, stock clearance sale must end soon. FFS, he`ll be selling you clipped shag pile next.

    Of course! The only difference between Whites and third world tribes is skin color and money. Whitey happens to have money and jet engines and computers because of luck. We all bleed red. There is no gene for race.

    If some primitive tribe starts losing the latest machete fest Whitey has to build them all houses next door. Or it's bigotry.

    Remember to hand over your livelihood to anyone in the third world. Otherwise we'll say "bigotry" and you don't want that.

    Yeah, they like John Nguyen now because he's the Liberal candidate for Chisolm...

    But rewind 30 years ago when the Vietnamese boy arrived with his Vietnamese grandparents after his voyage as a boat person on a fishing boat...

    Some of the people here would have been pulling the same bigoted stunts on John Nguyen and his grandparents when he came here back then as they do now with current refugees.

    I think John Nguyen ia a hypocrite because he was a boat person himself... who (now that HE'S here) wants to stop the boats.

    BUT my thinking him a hypocrite is a miniscule thing... compared to the bigoted crap that some of you would have thrown at him when he arrived here 30 years ago as a refugee.

    John Nguyen is not a hypocrite. John Nguyen is saying the Australian state should not accept mass immigration. Since John Nguyen does not constitute the Australian state, any liberties granted to John Nguyen by the Australian state cannot be considered contradictory to the recommendations of John Nguyen regarding the Australian state. Therefore John Nguyen cannot be considered a "hypocrite" on this issue.

    I agree. To try to pin this nasty little label on John Nguyen, without consideration of his motives, with no mention of the reasons behind his conclusions, amounts to nothing better than negative bigotry. This is gutter politics. Nothing more.

    What you've raised are likely attitudes.

    Look, he is clearly a hypocrite. It's a shame he would support such drastic action, knowing full well the real circumstances. He is definitely one individual I WOULD NEVER TRUST, based on this shameless hypocrisy!

    So if a country let's you immigrate, you're morally obliged to support all other immigration. Makes a lot of sense. Not.

    They certainly don`t do much in depth thinking.

    I wouldn't trust him either, he's very low on integrity. It’s stated something like a dozen times on his website that he arrived in Australia ''as a refugee fleeing persecution in communist Vietnam''. Which doesn’t give the impression he’s trying to dissociate from having been a refugee. But clearly a major disconnect going on.

    It’s an interesting conundrum. Some who come through very fraught life situations go on to help others in similar circumstances. Not John Nguyen. It’s ironic though he’s gone the complete ‘opposite’ direction. A bit like “I was a boat person fleeing persecution. Now I want to stop boat people fleeing persecution.”

    But bottom line, I think he likes himself / his status far and above being ‘decent’ and advocating on behalf of the people whose lives are as fraught as his life had once been. An enormous disconnect going on there.

    "he's very low on integrity"...for stating a fact?

    How does your mind work?

    Daniel Nalliah, who is an immigrant from Sri Lanka, recently founded a right-wing party with the slogan "Keep Australia Australian" and it's not rare in Australia to find minority persons with bigoted views. It could be a result of cultural assimilation and Asian immigrants may be under considerable pressure to act and speak like real Australians in order to prove that they have integrated into the mainstream Australian culture like John Nguyen.

    I don't understand why opposition to immigration is "bigotry". Can one of you liberals explain that?

    Interesting question. Regarding "stopping the boats", I find it perplexing that anyone would oppose stopping the boats. Let alone try to pin grubby little labels on people who advocate stopping the boats.

    Since 2007, when the lefty federal government dismantled a system that was working, for a "touchy feely" one of their own, over 1,100 boat people have drowned at sea, that we know of. This figure, if left unchecked, will prove to be the tip of the iceberg, there are billions of poor souls throughout the world, who would do anything to come to this country. The butcher`s bill of stupidity, in this case, will rise to even more obscene levels, if this issue isn`t stopped, urgently. This type of problem is extremely hard to solve, when let get out of control.

    We have a political party over here, the Greens, who want to make it easier / more comfortable / more attractive to, people to come into Australia. In my book, Josef Stalin wasn`t as evil as the Greens, and he is one of history`s greatest failures, as a man.
