Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says Australia needs to do everything it can to keep out Palestinians fleeing war-torn Gaza, unveiling a plan for a 18,000 km, $550 billion wall that will be paid for by Hamas.
Announcing the project today, Dutton said that Australia had to be more alert than ever to outside threats, particularly the threat of unexpected humanity. “If we are not diligent we are in real danger of inadvertently allowing compassion to creep into our country without us noticing. That could have disastrous consequences for Australia, and certainly for my personal mental health”.
Dutton said work on the project would start after the next election and be complete at an unspecified time in the future after everyone has forgotten about it. “We expect the wall to be complete around the same time that the nuclear reactors are. I haven’t spoken to Hamas yet, but when we send them the bill, they will have no choice but to pay it”.
He said the wall would include special skin-colour-recognition software to ensure that some asylum seekers could still get in.
