Australia is once again proudly a world leader. At the United Nations immigration summit in New York, Mr Turnbull, (not the greatest P.M yet) was enthusiastic about selling the credentials of Australias immigration policies. Suggesting that we had developed a template that worked on the vexed issue of ‘unstoppable waves of mass migration’ he held up the example of Australia. ‘Our detention policies and turn-back policies are an absolute world beater. O.K, we didn’t do so well in the Olympics, but this is where we come numero Uno!’ The immigration Minister Mr Dutton explained; ‘Why would Australia’s immigration system be racist, when at least one in four Australians were born overseas”. Mr Turnbull, suggested other countries may want to follow our example, and protect sovereignty. ‘This mass flow must be controlled’, he said, ‘and if there aint a border, what’s the point in trying’.
Other nation states, particularly European were keen to listen to the ‘Australian solution’ and enthusiastically applauded the PM’s novel idea of augmenting physical barriers.
‘Extend the Mediterranean Sea, so as to make the gap between ‘them’ and ‘us’ more profound. Look what we’ve done in Australia, we could give you the biological barriers, sharks, killer whales and stinging jelly fish, that would reinforce border security. Look at the U’K, they’ve done it. Shut the country off from the entire world. And things aint too hot for Merkel in Germany right now. At the rate were going, with the impending melt down of the planets eco-system, life, civilisation and everything it’s a bloody good thing that the ice cap melt will just make it that little bit harder for refugees to go anywhere. They’ll finally work it out themselves and just stay put. Or if they’re really keen we can offer then three square meals a day in one of our reception centres on Nauru. In the detention centre’s they’ve never had it so good. It acts as a deterrent. and it’s good for business.
We’ve got to send a clear message to the people smugglers, that we only accept wealthy immigrants. They’ve gotta arrive via business or platinum class. And in doing so protect our standard of living’. Asked by a journalist about the recent catastrophic events in Syria as a push to mass exodus as a consequence of the allied bombing of Syrian rebels, the PM, countered; ‘It’s all part of a big plan. By bombing everyone, we set up a level playing field. Whether they’re Isis, Assad’s thugs or rebels, we’ll treat them just the same and ensure that freedom, when it comes, is left to the last man, woman or child standing. And that’s the endgame in Syria. To ensure that the noble spirit of Anzac lives on as an eternal principal of Freedom. To demonstrate that Australia is prepared to do the heavy lifting and punch above our weight.
Mr Turnbull then congratulated Mr Dutton on their principle stand, and was heard off microphone; ‘And besides what difference does it make, the world’s fucked anyway’.
