Can't you just go away? You hit the "unsubscribe" button on your threads list. It's not like you have brought anything to this thread other than trollerisation.

Sounds like a plan to me.

One question though... where you going to get all the lions and tigers from that can man the boats needed to stop all those boat people sneaking in?

To the best of my knowledge lions and tigers are not good in boats.

Now you're just being silly. That top end of Oz is full of bloody crocs and that hasn't stopped 'them' coming.

You lost my vote already.

38141: "Ya but those people from the last 150 yrs were generally of UK/Irish/Euro descent."

What does this mean then? Maybe you can bother answering that. What has their race or cultural background got to do with numerical/resources issues?

So, you're saying that the point of a country is to not invite/accept other people?
