Uh Oh! Looks like I spake to soon. It seems I will have new neighbours moving in: nytimes.com <CHRISTMAS ISLAND, Australia, Saturday, Sept. 1 (AP) — The 460 asylum seekers stranded on a ship near here will go to New Zealand and the Pacific island nation of Nauru, the prime ministers of Australia and New Zealand announced today. The agreement breaks a six-day diplomatic deadlock over the fate of the refugees, most of whom are from Afghanistan. "I am announcing today that we have reached agreement with the governments of New Zealand and Nauru for processing of the people rescued by the MV Tampa," Australia's prime minister, John Howard, said at a news conference in Sydney, referring to the Norwegian freighter that picked them up. Australia, Norway and Indonesia had been debating where the refugees should go after Mr. Howard refused the boat entry into Australian waters on Monday. The prime minister said that about 150 of the refugees would go to New Zealand and the remainder to Nauru, a tiny island east of Papua New Guinea near the Solomon Islands... contd...> There will be some fighting to be selected for New Zealand. "You, you and you are going to Nauru and tent city. You and you can go via free transport to New Zealand where the taxpayers will provide you with a house, television set, washing machine and all mod cons together with a dole or other welfare payment, in cash, which will be 20 times your annual earnings in Afghanistan and Pakistan. We will provide you with the latest medical care at no charge and free schools and universities. If you commit any crimes, don't worry about it; not only do we not cut off your hands or your heads, but you won't even be punished the first few times [and a wet bus ticket slap the next few dozen times]. You may bring your family too [who are still in Afghanistan] and we will pay for their accommodation, food and lifestyle as well." I think we will soon have hordes of boat people 'refugees' heading for Christmas Island, wearing little "I Love Kiwis" hats and tee shirts. It will be like Dunkirk [when the British fled back across the English channel during WWII]. Indonesians, Indians, Bangladeshis, Thais and the rest from Vietnam to Turkey will be heading south any way they can move. Mq
