Stop trying to be a smart arse. Your claim that the figures are invalid because they are not updated every time a plane takes off and lands is spurious and hair splitting. The figures are patently not 'nonsense' as you claimed.
My guess is that if the figures hadn't come from Grayling and been supported by myself, two of the supposedly anti-Australian bad guys, then you wouldn't have had any issue with them, but because of their source you have taken it on yourself to see them as some sort of veiled attack on Australia.
Well there not. They are just government supplied numbers that say for every 100 who arrive from the UK, 24 leave. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Do I get a gold star or anything? 
Same here. We took the kids kayaking today and even with a healthy slathering of SPF 30 I'm a lovely shade of crimson. I blame my husband. Not that he did anything, but I have to blame someone.

Last warning before this thread is closed and posters get sent to the naughty corner for a couple of weeks. When I ask nicely for people to knock it off I mean knock it off now.
