Have you seen the new government ad?

And before you fob this thread off as "humour", I actually do want to discuss the new asylum seeker policy. This is what the official government ad looks like:

The parody I made above is for a blog article I'm writing today. As you can clearly see I had no problem finding the same font that the government used.

That aside, the new policy is to no longer accept genuine asylum seekers arriving by boat into Australia, and instead to settle them into Papua New Guinea. The policy certainly has its advantages, not the least of which being that it should actually work to stop the boats. And that will mean that people won't drown trying to get to Christmas Island on overcrowded Indonesian fishing boats, and it will mean that the huge cost to the government in processing boat arrivals will finally be available for other uses, for instance we could spend it on foreign-aid.

Thoughts?

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
