Looks like Rogers could do the same and solve his problems if he is prepared to put up with the hassle or pay someone to do so. Listening to ABC radio last night, everyone was blaming this asylum seeker crisis on Indonesia. The theory is that since they got upset with Australia about East Timor, they stopped clamping down on these people entering Indonesia as long as they were going on to Australia. With all the corruption in Indonesia I'm not sure that they can stop anyone doing anything there but anyway.... Big article in the Australian yesterday from Helen Hughes expressing the also common attitude that these people pay big money to people smugglers and fly to Indonesia - why should they get preferential treatment over refugees stuck in camps in Pakistan from which we do take refugees for resettlement. They are called "queue-jumpers". Of course the largest number of illegal immigrants in Australia are British tourists who overstayed their visas. If they are found out they'll get sent back but not punished and no-one seems to be hunting them down. David
