Love this editorial from The Telegraph: Editorial, The Daily Telegraph, yesterday (July 9): THE New York Times is clearly ignorant of the circumstances surrounding many asylum-seeker arrivals. It isn’t that arrivals didn’t or don’t have visas. It is that the documents were deliberately discarded prior to reaching Australian territory … The Times continued: “The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres, said recently that ‘something strange happens’ in the minds of Australians when it comes to asylum-seekers who arrive by boat without a visa.” On the contrary, there is nothing strange at all about wanting to know in detail the background of potential immigrants … In fact, Australia’s policy is remarkably close to The New York Times’sown policy on office visitors. It is not possible to just show up at The New York Times building in mid-town Manhattan and then stroll around, unknown and unannounced, through the paper’s editorial floors. Anyone attempting to barge into the Times without reason to be there would be swiftly removed by security. It could be said that “something strange happens” in the minds of New York Times security staff when it comes to unknown and unidentified intruders. Australia will retain the same rights for our borders as the Times does for its reception desk. If arrogant New Yorkers don’t respect that, they are welcome to shove it. theaustralian.au/opinion/cutandpaste/oh-the-horror-oh-the-shame-economic-migrants-were-offered-mouldy-muesli-bars/story-fn72xczz-1226983467815
