Very sad. Bloody people smugglers. I hope the world doesn't blame the "racist" Aussies for this.

How awful 
They were almost at Christmas Island but the seas were too rough for a rescue. May they rest in peace.

A terrible disaster and a horrible way to go. What makes it worse is that every man and his dog will try to milk this for political mileage.

Re: Christmas Island tragedy
This is the Labor governments fault. If they didn't make it so attractive for them to risk their lives to get here this tragedy would never have happened.

A terrible tragedy but ultimately Rudd and Gillard are responsible for this.
Socialists f**k everything up that they touch.

Re: Christmas Island tragedy
No one person is responsible . Its a calculated risk.
I heard on the radio. Australia should personally chaperone asylum seekers to safe shores.
Hooray.
