i dont know willow

i know in some of these episodes children were in the water and boats were vandalised and scuttled

i know that since this episode people smugglers preying on gullible economic refugees have all but ceased such dangerous expiditions probably saving lives

i know that i agree with the PM in terms of the quality of these people

For the record, I still think that the fact that children were in the water in the first place is much more relevant...

As howard stated in aninterview with Ray Martin.

"I did not set out to mislead the Australian people"

did not set out, mmmmmmmmmm interesting. Not, did not mislead, but he chose "did not set out". Make your own conclusions ,without your liberal membership over you eyes that is.

Was a swerve or a dodge?

We're referring to one episode. That of the Siev 4 and HMAS Adelaide.

Do you have evidence that children were thrown overboard?
Do have evidence that the Siev 4 was scuttled?

Earlier in this thread, you asked me for evidence that no children were thrown overboard and I provided it.

Does the witness account from the Commander of the HMAS Adeliade stand up to your litmus test?

Consistency is obviously not your strong point if you cant appreciate a link between SIEV 4 and the other SIEVs

I'm still trying to figure out what you want me to say that I havent already said
I've stated my opinion over 18 pages, it hasnt changed and it's unlikely to, so I still dont understand the repeated attempts at persuasion

What happened in this thread was that you disgreed with Howard who after viewing the subsequent evidence, has had to concede that no children were thrown overboard last October.
You still think children were thrown overboard... so you're at odds with the PM.

My guess is that there is a sense of disappointment at the subsequent findings.
It appears that some people would be happier if there was proof that parents were throwing their kids into the sea, such is their dislike for asylum seekers.

WTF were the parents doing putting their poor kids in a position where they could end up in the water?

As the Right get battered they change the goal posts again.

This thread has shown shameless shifting, backtracking and ignoring of facts from the Howard cheer squad.

Probably will get head hunted by the libs to be new MPs.

OneEye can take Heffernan's spot :lol:

I dont definitely know that there were kids thrown overboard
Just like I dont definitely that there werent

I dont really care if there is proof that they've thrown their children into the sea or not
I think they're low human beings for putting their kids on a leaky boat in Indonesia and trying to get to Australia

The boat sank so obviously I have more concern for their kids than they do

So you do concede that no children were thrown overboard?

I'll concede that I don't care. And neither should anyone else.

Do you concede that these people showed horrific neglect of their children?

They showed tremendous devotion to get them to a better place.

Bravo :clap:

There was proof. Read the other thread...

:lol: :lol: How was that proof of children being thrown overboard?

How was it proof that Howard didn't lie about the photos?

SIEV 4 sank after it was sabotaged. 76 children ended up in the middle of the ocean as a result.

'Do you deny this?'

Nope

Do you concede kids were in the water?
So is Commander Banks lying?

But surely this banks fellow, el banko, the communist infiltrator, this socialist criminal...

surely this low down howard hating scum has an agenda to push????

Swimming around in the middle of the ocean is a better place?

Jeez, I'm glad your not my father...

If you lived in say, a province in Afghanistan ruled by the Taliban in 2001, wouldn't that be putting your child in danger?

Stop talking sense!

We are watching conservative politics at work :^o :whistle :blahb: :-# :sleeper: ](*,)

How inconsiderate and neglectful can a parent be. How could they possibly want their children to have a life and childhood they never dreamed of having. One in australia. They must have been extremelly desperate to get on a boat like that and travel so far on it.
