re: #615 researchok

Politics DU is as much if not greater a blood sport than here.

How is the immigration/boat people debate coming along, for starters?

To be honest shitfull.

The right wing whips up fear about ‘illegal immigrants’, which they are not, as its not illegal to ‘seek asylum’.

The population buys into ‘we being overrun’ cos we have always had a touch of racism here.

And the left are running scared and making poor choices.

Meanwhile people seeking asylum are locked up, and taking over 12 months on average to be processed.

It sucks.
