Taking Out The Trash

Over 200 years ago Mother England was using our Great Southern land as a dumping site for its hardened and petty criminals. This was stopped and Australia was free to move forward as a growing nation. We didn't seem to mind having a few criminals left here, most cleaned up their act upon release and forged our future.

However these days things are different, England keep their criminals and we keep ours, except when they were born there. For a while now we have shipped the paedophiles, rapists and career criminals back to Her Majesty's land because we don't want them released here because we have enough of our own to worry about. Cash poor England is sick of dealing with these comebacks and are calling for Australia to keep them. In most developed countries, if a criminal wasn't born there and the crime was sufficient, then you send them back to the country they were born in. Why should we, as a tax payer, fund the relocation, reeducation and lifestyles of the morally corrupt?

It was deemed OK to pack boats with English criminals and send them here, but it's not ok for us to send them their people. If we were trying to send back Australian born rapists or paedophiles then I could understand their complaint, it's not their problem. However if you bred them and they commit a crime, then take them back and fix their ways (which understandably is never really a viable option).

UK child welfare campaigner Shy Keenan had this to say "It's just not fair, Australia," she said. "In law they do belong here, in essence they are British citizens, but whether they are morally or ethically British is another argument.

What she is trying to say is that Australia turned these British people into the rapists and paedophiles they are today. So therefore they are not the morally sound people who left England for Australia. Yet time and time again it is shown that so many of these tpyes of criminals have these morals embedded in them at the early stages of childhood, usually by being raped by their own family members.

The British MP's are crying out 'unfair' because their laws do not support the sending back of Australians in the same circumstance. Is that our problem? Should we only align our policies with those of the countries we deal with? Maybe we should not let women vote, because in other countries this is still the case, because it's unfair to those who cannot.

The British should change their laws and send them here if it really bothers them and continue to take back the rubbish they gave birth to in the first place.
