Well as an Australian I am pretty unhappy that our government is copying your government's stupid ideas. Which is more disappointing, someone jumping over a cliff or the person that follows them? :(

I can only hope that this won't pass through our parliament successfully, there are a couple of fairly clued in left wing politicians holding the balance of power right now in Australia. But then again this seems like the type of thing both the major parties will rubber stamp with barely a raised eyebrow.

Hey look mainstream Australia look that way, there are people on boats.
