Good on the PM! When CHCH quake hit, some refugees demanded that they be rehoused and it was their right! What about the rights of all who were affected? Did they get rehoused?

Simply send them home. Living in Australia Im hearing almost everyday how yet another boat of asylum seekers have turned up, its a joke! Once the door is open they will come in droves! Half dont speak english, they treat women like shit, they are a burden on welfare and enough of them in a community and they make that community look and smell as disgusting as there own country in no time! That is what has happened in Australia! Not to mention the racial tension that goes on here between sudanese and asians... not Australians! Send them home, No asylums, no problems!!

it is best to send them back to Sri Lanka - NZ is facing a recession and the government simply does not have the funds for looking after refugees - the Tamil war is over and there is no need for them to seek asylum here as refugees - it would have been acceptable to consider this proposition if the war was still on but the war is over. It is understandable that these people are seeking a better life for themselves but they can come into New Zealand if they wish to do so through a proper immigration channel where thay will be able to contribute to society not burden it - not as refugees.

Come now you dimwits, "value carefuly and treasure" what we have here in NZ.
It would be outrageous to let scumbags such as these people have easy advanageous access to our land.
Thes people have paid large sums of money to smugglers in order to circumvent the legal entry proceedures.

Obviously going on the blogs, most people support John Key's comments and so do I. It is time to block all back door attempts to enter NZ by interlopers such as Zowie and his ilk who make a mockery of legal entry into this country and who then invite all their family members to join them here at our expense. ................................................................................................................ Boat people are the same type of illegal alien who also think they have rights greater than those who do things the legal way. However, I am optimistic the ocean distance and weather on the way to NZ, will take care of any who attempt to get here that way.

poor wittle mouthguard, saying they are not welcome is not racism. NZ has procedures to follow to get entry into this country even as a refugee, paying a few thousand dollars per person to board a boat and illegally enter a country is not one of those ways, that isn't racist, I suggest you learn what racism is.
