To support what?
The fact that he was a ten pound pom and came to Australia by boat on the assisted migration scheme?
Yeah I have facts

Migrating legally with all the correct paperwork and travelling by boat to Australia (as my family did in the 50s) is a LOT different to travelling as an illegal immigrant, claiming to be a refugee, by boat to Australia from Indonesia, after country shopping your way across south east Asia, and stopping off for some plastic surgery along the way, paying a corrupt Indonesian for a trip on the SS Notgonnamakeit and dropping all documents in the ocean on the way.

Abbott came here by boat.

He paid his fare to come here then once here he settled into the community by getting a job and a home.

. AFAIK level of wealth or health status aren't really considered that much in the refugee screening process.

They get here and are given an initial payment from DHS and a bank account set up for them with the process of how to draw benefits including bonus payments Australians don't get. This is within 24 hours of being processed. They then network amongst themselves and find cash work and continue to draw benefits. If you attempt to remove benefits for non compliance they pull the old racist card, pretend they didn't understand their obligations and use the torture/trauma trick also.

I know people who have tried to migrate to this Country who are skilled workers and would purchase their own home and never go near Centrelink who are denied access.

Yet if you float in on a boat you are welcome with open arms and shown how to and supported on ripping us off with DHS benefits.

Like I said. Perhaps you should broaden your reading. It would appear you are way off the mark:

On your advice I broadened my reading and came up with this

Abbott came here by boat.maybe we should put him In a lifeboat and set him adrift in the middle of the ocean

So what??? The pertinent fact here is weather he had a valid immigration visa or not. Are you suggesting he didn't?

And what have you concluded from this?

 

[gopher]

And what have you concluded from this?

That the claimed 80% reduction since OSB started is complete and utter bull ****
Rudds solution was working as well

Most of the claimed reduction took place before the election
