It seems the left would much prefer to see boat people continue to drown rather than accept that the governments policy is working. -Never has the ABC campaigned so furiously against our border policies as now, when the Abbott Government has shut the gate by turning back boats and sending every arrival to Nauru or Papua New Guinea. Same with the Greens and many Fairfax commentators. When the first scores of boat people drowned under Labor, most in the Left turned a blind eye. Later, they pretended Labors weak laws werent to blame. Tragedies happen, accidents happen, Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said. Finally, when the death toll grew too horrific to ignore, they argued the Coalitions plan to turn back the boats would never work anyway. Said Hanson-Young: Turning boats around ... will not deter desperate people from making dangerous journeys by boat. It never has and it never will. Prime Minister Julia Gillard, likewise, predicted those Coalition policies cant and wont work. In fact, many in the Left simply dont want them to work. Jack Waterford, of Fairfaxs Canberra Times, wrote: There are many people, including me, who want to see our shameful policies fail.- heraldsun.au/news/opinion/truth-founders-in-a-sea-of-bias/story-fni0ffxg-1226816080340
