Comment on "Immigration Minister Peter Dutton vows baby Asha will be returned to Nauru"

I get most annoyed, probably many share my same sentiment, about queue jumpers at supermarket, ticket counter, bus stop, etc. Small matter like this gets my temperature rise. They are many well behaved refugees or "asylum seekers" patiently waiting for their turn to have their application processed, just like well behaved people queuing for their turn to be served.
If the baby is allowed to stay, what about the mother, and the immediate family? If the rest not are allowed to come and stay here, will this separation lead to a case of say a "stolen child" (as opposed to stolen generation) in the future? Is she a ward of the state or a foster child in some good Samaritan's family? Who is that kind to foot the bill to raise this child? I doubt the loud mouth do-gooders will have a bar digging into their pockets to chip in a dollar or two; even if they do, for how long?
I am supportive of the minister's action of putting his foot down. Due to his not listening to the loud voice of the demonstrators and do-gooders, he deserves my writing this comment to compliment him. If he or any minister is lenient and bends rules just to get popularity votes, our laws will soon be worse than a block of Swiss cheese. as soon as practicable.
