Default The Romans Tried Aquaducts

everyone else got over the "yellow peril" idea decades ago.

No Kylie, its not paranoia. Its just a rational suggestion. I mean, whose
going to stop them? The Indonesians walked into East Timor in the 1970s. And
no one stopped them. The only reason they got pushed out - was because of
their economic and political problems

But give them enough time, and they will have the numbers to not just walk
in, but stay and create a nation of their own. Its just demographics.

Sure you could put a few thousand in detention. But you can' stop 1% of
Indonesia from coming over. Right now, they're population is at 200 million.
In 30 years time, apparently it will reach 278 million. If you were an
Indonesian, it would make sense to come over to Australia by hook or by
crook. It'd be a much better life for them.
