Still, that's pretty wacky.

Years ago there was something even more wacky than that here.
If you wanted to be an Australian citizen you had to renounce previous citizenship

Thankfully that's changed now

Because I set them on top of each other at one time and red ring sounds like a venereal disease.
..Yeah, thats what Im going with. Gamestop should have a deal, trade in two dead for one good one....

If I'm not mistaken, they do pay cash for deadboxes, but it's not very much.

Not like they give much for good ones either...

I thought all you had to do to be Australian was float south until you bump into something

If you try that they'll put you in a "detention centre"

Downloading AC:Revelations to a) see how it plays on my non-gaming computer and, b) to finish the story if it plays well enough.

ONOES

Wait. That worked out pretty well for Tom Paris...

Christmas Island detention centre is more than 200 over capacity after more than 1000 asylum seekers arrived in the past two months.

As the Immigration Department activated its contingency plans to deal with the overcrowding, two detainees were being treated for potentially deadly typhoid fever.

One of the asylum seekers has been flown to mainland Australia while a second is in isolation on the island.

Where are they from?

[deadlegion]

Where are they from?

Lots of different places

I haven't been keeping tabs on it lately, but most of the traffic goes through Indonesia iirc.
People from asian countries, probably Tamils/Sri Lankans.....some other places.


Or are you asking about the typhoid people?

I just meant in general. It sounds like a flood of people wanting asylum...I was just wondering if there was something specific going on in some country over there.

I should probably get in bed. I have 2 days worth of work to do tomorrow.

G'night

There's always something going on somewhere.
For the Tamils it's the stuff that happened a while ago in Sri Lanka I guess........plenty of other people come here because of apparent persecution due to ethnicity (minority).
They come here 'cos they're convinced by people smugglers that getting here by boat is easy (well, it is as long as the boat doesn't sink and they aren't intercepted).
But Australia is probably a safe place to go to for many reasons, and the economy is still pretty good atm.


Apparently the two typhoid cases are Indonesian boatmen.
