Youve got to be joking ?

A Multicultural Australia

Dont let the publiscised border control issues confuse you, we are very tolerant and compassionate here.
Multiculturalism is quite literally part of our DNA here

We have a boat people problem, but the core of that is we have people who arrive by boats , not because they are genuine refugees. But because they simply want the lucky country lifestyle we enjoy here.
For every queue jumper that pays thousands to fly to indonesia and then buy passage on a boat to get here in defiance of our immigration and border protection policys, a genuine refugee misses out.

Our policy regarding boat people has everything to do with this

Quarantine: protecting Australia's unique environment - About Australia - Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

And nothing to do with racial intolerance
We are a truly multicultural melting pot and all the richer as a society because of it.

Getting back to your problems though

Doesnt it strike you as odd that you'd rather spend billions on Nukes that can kill millions, than health care that can save millions and improve their quality of life.

Even in the midst of this current crisis
