FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda It is significant that the Government is now adopting a ”softer” border protection policy by foreshadowing the use of bridging visas to allow asylum-seekers into the community while their claims for refugee status are accessed. This acknowledges that the boats will start arriving in greater numbers and detention centres will be overwhelmed.
Here lies the chance for Gillard to show leadership to the nation, with a new compassionate policy. Instead of grudging acceptance of the knock-back for off-shore processing, she could do what many Australians want – give protection to desperate people who risk their lives to come here.
At the same time, she could pour more resources into helping the Indonesians crack down on people smuggling.
After all the bungles and stumbles, she needs a game changer, a signature policy that shows she stands for something different to the Coalition.
It would be a big backdown – or a brave frontal assault – if she ignored the Coalition’s jibes that she has ”raised the white flag of surrender” on border protection.
But seriously, what has she got to lose? Well, her job, for one thing.
Labor MPs are increasingly nervous that Gillard can pull them out of the slide and quite a few are doubtful she can survive much longer.
As for Kevin from Queensland, he’s just doing his job. Today he is due to attend a community barbecue on Brisbane’s southside in the electorate of Labor backbencher Graham Perrett.
That was arranged before Perrett’s extraordinary ”suicide bomber” declaration that he would bring down the Government by creating an unwinnable by-election if the Labor Party changed leaders again. But he says Rudd is still due at the event, as the guest of honour.
That’s because the Foreign Minister has mega voter appeal. Wherever he goes, he pulls them in, and they respond with the rock-star treatment for the former prime minister. That’s the thing – for many Labor supporters, the sacking is still raw.
Some Labor MPs are angry that Perrett’s declaration appears to now lock them into no change at the top, even if they had the internal fortitude to do it. But that won’t stop them talking about it.
