Minister says ‘floatels’ are being looked at to house refugees

  1. Right.. they got burned out of their tents and nothing was done

    I refuse to believe there wouldn’t be a successful attempt by a lunatic in a peddle boat with a cordless to drill a hole in the hull..

  2. I’d love to find out just how much he regrets demanding to take over the responsibility for international protection accommodation. .

  3. Can the government just admit that the system is broken, at over capacity and even if they get ten floatels they will be full in a short space of time and just limit number of arrivals so we can actually properly care for those already here and that need help most rather than continuing to welcome people to immediately throw them onto the street to live rough

  4. They did this in Scotland and a big issue is that refugees are then stuck in the middle of a working port. They’re not free to come and go, they have to be bussed in and out for safety reasons so it’s very restrictive on people, especially with kids.

  5. Why can’t we just restrict the numbers?

    Or put priority on certain professions we actually need?

    Or make the process a big pain in the ass to discourage people?

    There is no space.

  6. Any chance minister O’Gorman could look at just removing the 60+% of bogus asylum seekers from the system.
    He’d need no boats then
