It is a penal colony. Can we send them thousands of recent illegals?

Thanks

Before there was Joint Base Hickam-Pearl Harbor there was Hickam Field and Naval Station (NS) Pearl Harbor.

Thanks, but I got it above. BTW, wasn’t it Hickam Army Air Field? Could be wrong.

[MercyFlush]

Hickam Field was the vernacular because after WW2 the field did double duty as a civilian airport.

[A Navy Vet]

Thanks for the correction.

The Aussies should be rioting in the streets demanding immediate new elections and hounding government officials pushing this tyranny. Government officials should have angry mobs outside their offices and homes demanding their resignation. The country should be shut down with massive strikes until new elections are called. Remember how the Poles defeated the Communist regime.

Australia is still a penal colony? I didn’t know that.

Why would anyone want to leave the California of countries?

[Fred Nerks]

The ongoing closure of Australia’s borders means that most Australian residents require government permission to travel overseas – and for many applicants, getting that authorisation hasn’t proven an easy task.

While some requests have been processed promptly, other applicants say they've received no response at all from the Department of Home Affairs and the Australian Border Force, even after the international flights they’d booked had long departed.

Over 1,000 people have shared their ‘travel ban’ experience with Executive Traveller since the restrictions took effect in March 2020 – a hefty number, given less than 3,000 exemptions had been granted by the government as of mid-May.

And here I was thinking that I should be living on the Gold Coast! LOL

[P.O.E.]

Same here. A while back I had a decent job offer in Sydney. Decided to stay stateside because of family, friends, etc.
