Commenting on "Don't let political opportunism hide an idea that may work"

Another policy on the run by Labor. This is a band aid approach by Kevin Rudd, trying to clear the deck for an early election. This is no difference from having the asylum seekers kept in Malaysia, passing buck to another neighbour to do the dirty job, except that PNG is a UN signatory.
Ethically and morally this is very wrong to hand the boat people to PNG's hell hole where women and children will be abused in greater number and frequency. I can bet my bottom dollar that Kevin Rudd will shed his crocodile tears saying "sorry" again, meaninglessly. I want to state this very clearly that it will be over my dead body to to allow him to say "sorry on behalf of the people of Australia" because he is the one and only culprit, and his action causes it.
