Morrison asks us to honor those that went to Afghanistan to help Afghanis and died. Asks us to honour those that went, lived and returned. However does he listen to them no.
For all his rhetoric he doesn’t offer any help or hope. "We can't expect to let anyone on our planes and those that come by boat will never get in." Morrison is quite happy to kick Afghanis off his political cliff. UK, 20,000 Canada 20,000, USA many more even Abbott allowed 12,000 Syrians in.
In fact, Morrison is worried, like French President Emmanuel Macron, about a wave of asylum seekers from a horrifying takeover of Afghanistan. So Morrison revived his rhetoric about stopping boats and turning back asylum seekers. It is a warning sign for an ugly debate ahead of the election. This means the Prime Minister’s pledge to take 3000 refugees has to be treated with caution. It is not clear whether it is even possible to airlift that many in the weeks or months ahead. The notion of an orderly queue is always a fantasy.
The PM’s rhetoric on Afghan refugees has to be treated with caution
Despite its claims to be building democracy in Afghanistan, the US’s War on Terror pushed the country deeper into chaos. The United States should be held fully responsible for this failure by the rest of the world.
