Sunday morning presser @ScottMorrisonMP on @abcnews said
"You ask me 'what is the evidence the govt's border protection policies work? - There have been no boats"

So, that would mean ZERO increases in Illegal Maritime Arrivals (IMAs) right?

Um... no Prime Moron is lying

31 August 2018

Increase of IMAs is ZERO

Zero despite the fact that on 26th August 2018 a boat arrived in North QLD with reportedly 30 people onboard (17 later confirmed), as reported in the mainstream media.

These people don't appear to have been recorded in the data.
#auspol
Two days after @ScottMorrisonMP became Prime Minister after the #Libspill a boat arrived in Queensland.

So, the boats HAVE NOT EVEN STOPPED during Morrison's Prime Minister-ship.

Morrison's lies know no end.

So, either these Illegal Maritime Arrivals walked on water across the oceans or @ScottMorrisonMP is lying when he says 'there have been no boats'.

More lies from Morrison that don't even match up with his own Home Affairs Dept statistics.
#auspol #ElectionNow
And, the Dept of Home Affairs is fudging the figures because 17 people were reportedly taken to Christmas Island in August and yet no increase in IMAs was recorded in on 31 August 2018 & CI recorded a decrease in numbers.

Interesting tidbit... "William Willshire, who became notorious for his skill in “dispersing the natives”

Willshire was once defended by Sir John Downer.

Ancestor of 'nation-builders' @AlexanderDowner & @Georgina4Mayo

A fact they don't mention.
#auspol
news.com.au/national/polit…
In 1891 Willshire's men attacked sleeping Aborigines camped at Tempe Downs station. Two men died and their bodies were cremated. F. J. Gillen, Alice Springs sub-protector of Aborigines, investigated the reported episode & committed Willshire to Port Augusta for trial for murder.
As he was the first policeman to be so charged, and colonists felt their rights challenged, emotions ran high: public subscriptions provided Willshire's £2000 bail and retained Sir John Downer for his defence. Aboriginal witnesses attended, but problems over

Up until three weeks ago I was a #border/ #immigration reporter working in #ElPaso. Let me tell you why President Trump’s visit to the #Borderland is so problematic. Follow this thread for more.
Honestly, @DrToddACurry put it best. #ElPaso has been the President’s “petri dish” for #immigration policies. Let’s take a look shall we?
Starting Sept.2017 @LasAmericasIAC starts reporting parent/children separation, despite legal documents showing relation. There was little I, as a journalist, could do when both parent & child were out of reach for interview & @ICEgov wasn’t talking.

1. On June 18, 1957, after checking with Maulana Kalam Azad and Dr.Rajendra Prasad, Durga Das wrote the following line in his weekly column in The Hindustan Times, “if he (Nehru) is consciously trying to build anyone as his successor, he is building up his daughter.”
More #Evidence Mr. Tharoor-
2. Indira Gandhi went with Nehru to all political and administrative functions and got introduced to all the state leaders of the Congress party 🤔
#Evidence
3. Indira addressed election meetings, presided over Congress women’s committees, acted as hostess when Nehru entertained visitors and he took her with him when he traveled abroad😌

On Sunday between five hundred and a thousand caravan migrants carrying their country’s flag bull rushed the border. They screamed profanities and hurled rocks and bottles at the brave Border Patrol men and women protecting our nation. #2
The Border Patrol was correct to use non-lethal tear gas to break up the horde of invaders. They are defending our nation’s border from an invading force, complete with weapons, (however crude) and flying a foreign nation’s flag. #3

Follow this thread for highlights from the (sure to be remarkable) speech by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on the Trump administration’s Syria strategy:
"The nature of the Assad regime, like that of its sponsor Iran, is malignant. It has promoted state terror. It has empowered groups that kill American soldiers, such as al-Qaeda in Iraq"
"The story of Syria has been one of humanitarian catastrophe. Up to half a million Syrians have died. Over 5.4m Syrians are refugees, and 6.1m are internally displaced persons as a result of conflict between regime and opposition forces. Whole cities have been destroyed."

"Work In Progress"
I began writing on Thursday. It wasn't planned, that's simply when the words started to come. Or put another, more painfully truthful way, when I finally stopped finding reasons not to write.
For almost as long as I've been aware of stories, I've imagined creating my own. And I have, in a way. Ideas, and notes, and countless unfinished drafts. But nothing complete; nothing whole. Not a single thing I could show to someone else.
There always seemed to be a 'reason' of some kind or another. Being uninspired; needing to do research; waiting for the perfect time; saving up my money to buy a new personal computer to write on; wanting to clear the deck of any distractions; having too many distractions;
