They've sent those poor Burmese asylum seekers to Nauru. It'll cost a fortune in taxpayer's money: it cost $14.9 million to run the place empty for six months. Whatever you think about asylum seekers, that's just an unbelieveable waste. Nauru seems to be sick of the whole business: they're charging Australia $16,000 just for visas for the Burmese prisoners' first ninety days on the island.

This is stupid. Waste of money and they'll probably be accepted in the long run. Save money and time and give them citizenship now.

I hope Nauru bleeds us dry. It may be my tax money, but at the Nauru people could use the cash. Possibly the only good thing to come out of it is better facilities for the Nauru people, possibly.

This Government's financial creditals must have been blown out of the water by now. The insane waste of money on the Pacific solution is just one. The GST is another. Yet they are constantly cutting things we need like schools and health. That's what happens when you place ideology ahead of practicality.

Nauru are going to need the cash when the island is submerged by global warming anyway - get all the cash while you can! in fact, if you boost your prices outragheously high it'll put more pressure on the Howard government *snorts at the oxymoron* to stop sending there! yay!
