Ex-Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has found a new
vocation since being kicked out of office: refugee crisis expert.
Abbott spent Tuesday night lecturing European
countries on the best way to deal with the biggest refugee crisis since
World War II. During a speech in London honoring former British Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher, he said European leaders should follow his
example: Shut the borders and send boats crossing the Mediterranean
Sea back to where they came from.
That, according to Abbott, was the “only truly
compassionate thing to do.”
Australia's tough border protection policy had resulted
in not "a single illegal boat" reaching Australia in the past
18 months, Abbott boasted, making Australia the only country in the world
to defeat people smuggling. His country succeeded where others have failed
by forcing illegal boats to turn around or by sending the
asylum-seekers to offshore processing centers where anyone found to be a
legitimate refugee is resettled in Papua New Guinea, Nauru or
Cambodia.
The United Nations, human rights groups and leading newspapers have called Australia's
approach inhumane, brutal and cruel. And a new
report by Amnesty International accuses the Australian government of also
paying people smugglers to turn their boats back.
Abbott sees it as a model.
“
This means turning boats around, for people coming by sea.
It means denying entry at the border, for people with no legal right to
come; and it means establishing camps for people who currently have
nowhere to go,” he said. “It will require some force; it will require
massive logistics and expense; it will gnaw at our consciences — yet
it is the only way to prevent a tide of humanity surging through Europe and
quite possibly changing it forever.”
Here's a full transcript of the speech.
Abbott also said the hundreds of millions of people trying
to enter Europe were “economic migrants,” as opposed to refugees, because they
had “crossed not one border but many” and were “no longer fleeing in
fear." Those claims echoed ones made by some European
leaders to justify their hard-line stance on the issue.
“Our moral obligation is to receive people fleeing for their
lives. It's not to provide permanent residency to anyone and everyone who
would rather live in a prosperous Western country than their own,” he
said.
Referencing the Bible, Abbott, a former trainee Catholic
priest, said the “wholesome instinct” of Western countries to “love your
neighbor as you love yourself” was “leading much of Europe into catastrophic
error.”
“No country or continent can open its borders to all comers
without fundamentally weakening itself. This is the risk that the
countries of Europe now run through misguided altruism.”
Abbott’s speech sparked uproar on social media, with many mocking his tribute to Thatcher.
Using the hashtag #ToneCommandments, Twitter users also
lampooned Abbott's reference to the Bible and attacked his policies
on refugees, coal and the environment.
COMMENT:
Any human being would be bewildered to hear an ex
Prime Minister of a country that too of a collection of thrown out criminals from
UK long back who migrated to Australia, said their moral ,obligation is to
receive people fleeing for their lives and not to look after them and give them
shelter.
These migrants do not go to Australia to get kissed by
Abbott on their ass holes.
No son of a human beings could utter such horrendous
obnoxious filthy and dirty sentences for people in life danger.
If otherwise he/she
is not a product of a criminal dynasty of Britain .
What is Abbott proud of? Australian citizenship! he himself is a criminal immigrant. How dare he says Australia is theirs.
Australia is the
land of the aboriginals and Maorris not of Britain’s dangerous criminals who
went there as migrants after being kicked out from UK on criminal charges and then they forcibly occupied the land by killing the original
inhabitants of Australia.
May be
Abbott is a person another Dead pig fucker like
David Cameron. He might be afraid that the immigrants might capture the entire Australia from the
criminals of Britain those who now claim it to be their land.
Ask Abbott to read the history. Abbott a
pig an illiterate idiot that is why
he talks like an animal not Human beings and advised others of the same mentality inhumane
friends in EU block.
