I thought that Pauline Hanson had quit politics,but it seems that she is alive and well hiding behind a pair of specs,a false smile and a balding head......Mr.Howard I presume.

It's interesting that we spend so much trying to keep out a few thousand boat people that try and get to this country each year yet basically nothing is done to the illegal's that overstay their visa's. I heard the figure is around the 80,000 mark but then the majority of these are from the US or Britain so not considered a problem by our govt given their background.
Considering the US, Britain and a lot of Western European countries have more than between 100,000 and 500,000 illegal refugees arrive on their shores every year it makes ours a small drop in the ocean really.
Given our Naval boats cost about $100,000 per day to operate and the millions of dollars we are giving to other countries to process them off shore (as well as pay the wages to their staff). On top of that the huge costs to run the camps in our country for those that actually make it to Australia.
We must be spending well over $100,000 per refugee that attempts to get to our country with our current policies - surely we have more important things to spend this money on.
