Asylum Seekers in Australia

    * Unthinkable: Execution on arrival
    * Radical: Immediate return to origin
    * Acceptable: Reduced turnaround for cases.
    * Sensible: Improved conditions and monitoring for mental health.
    * Popular: Off shore processing
    * Policy: Mandatory Detention on arrival.

Am I doing it right?

Didn't Little Johnny once get the SAS to put a hole in an asylum seeker's ship?

I don't think execution upon arrival is necessarily that radical at all, considering...

I haven't heard that in particular, no, but there was a ship sinking that led to the 'children overboard issue'.

I saw execution as being impossible for our government to implement so I threw it in unthinkable.

Apparently Glenn Beck is part of your fan club.
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

No, assasinating Glen Beck is quite thinkable, I'd put it at the "radical" stage at the very least, personally I think it would be sensible.
