criticalmass,

There was no mention of costings at all.

However as an Australian taxpayer I think it would be money WELL spent.

Surely a lot of the operations could be instead of other less important operations, or instead of some of the regular exercises that they hold?

Of course assuming it works, it MAY pay for itself........ there would be a massive saving in the area of all the things we provide for these illegals when they arrive here, (housing, food, social security, costs of defending the endless court cases etc etc)and remember they were going to build more detention centres for them at a cost of millions of dollars, those would not now be required.

Best regards,

"lame"
