Commenting on "Right has twigged that Abbott may be on shaky ground"

Only if Tony Abbott was more specific with his policies, he could still win brownie points even Julia Gillard or Kevin Rudd copied his ideas, because he originated them. Undoubtedly, anyone can copy an idea which has not been copyrighted.
The asylum seekers or boat people problems cannot be solved by transferring them to another island. The only way is to stop them from leaving the source. If they have entered the Australian water, they need to be expelled by whatever means possible. Asylum seekers, by boat or plane without a legal visa should not be granted asylum.
For those who have reached the shore on whatever designated place, not only they have to be detained in isolation, but also work for their livelihood. There is a twist here though. They have to learn to improve the living condition using their skills such as maintaining the dwelling and surrounding, growing food, teaching, sewing, security, etc.
These detained people are not animals in a zoo. Many have talents that can be tapped, while others have strengths to work on the land or construction. Locking them up is purposeless and waste of taxpayers' money. They will eventually become inapt physically and mentally. When the scale is tipped over like the recent event, they lashed out and revealed their destructive behaviour causing untold cost to property and morale.
In regards to creating employment, no one has ever identify what specific areas or industries can offer employment the willing workers. Paper qualification, encouraged by Paul Keating, helps create the smart dough queue. What most people fail to realise is that Australia do not have the many high end industries to absorb all the university graduates. In the meantime, ordinary Australians keep paying high price to tradespeople, and worse still, the unqualified fly-by-nighters to build houses or fix up problems around the house.
