Letting anyone in

You won't believe this. Whether it’s letting queue jumpers come into the country –“intercepting” them as the spin doctors put it - or granting citizenship, the Gillard government is a push over. It seems they are letting anyone in. They don’t even check them properly. Instead of a full ASIO assessment the government has admitted the assessment is” lighter touch” That’s it. Lighter touch. We know nothing about these people except that they entered Indonesia, a safe country. Presumably as tourists.
Then most of them seem to "lose" their passports. In other words they come in deceiving the government and the Australian people. After five years most of them are still on welfare. How do we know there are not terrorists among them ? With a lighter touch assessment, which taxpayer funded lawyers are challenging in the High Court, our incompetent government doesn't know.
And it seems once you’re in, Australian citizenship – more precious than gold – is virtually assured. Is this about votes for boats? A federal tribunal has just ruled a convicted foreign paedophile is of good character and should be granted citizenship. Notwithstanding an FBI warning about him. The NSW police were refused a search warrant by another magistrate to investigate that. Too many politicians , too many members of the judiciary are out of touch. With direct democracy, the Australian people would be in charge.
