Actually he probably did us a favour. Turnbull is a spineless jellyfish hopelessly in thrall to the far right neocon faction of his party, which is actually a two party coalition. His polls are declining faster than a punctured balloon and his failure to stand up to Trump (he's the only free world leader who hasn't criticised Trumps immigration unpolicy) has accelerated that decline. I think and hope that with this bit of help from Trump Turnbull has cooked his own goose.

Why is Australia rejecting them? Why can't they stay there? Are they trying to send the one's they don't want to the US?

There are lots of unanswered questions.

Because Australia's neocon right wing government is just as callous as Trump. Most of these people have been vetted and found to be genuine refugees, but they are all boat people and that is why they are being rejected. Like Trump, absolutely in defiance of UN refugee conventions.

Australia is rejecting them because their Prime Minister, Turnbull, is an asshole. America is thinking about rejecting them because your President, Trump, is an asshole. It's not because the refugees are rapists, criminals and mad bombers like your homegrown types. They're just folks who were that terrified for themselves and their families with the situation in the countries they escaped that they risked their lives in open boats on a long and dangerous sea voyage in which almost as many who made it didn't. Gutsy people -- usually make for good, solid citizens.

Almost 100%, James. Australia is rejecting them because 2 previous neocon Prime Ministers (Howard and Abbott) were/are assholes. Turnbull doesn't even have the guts to be an asshole. Abbott and his far right rump are still pulling Turnbull's strings, and he does whatever they tell him to do. All Turnbull ever wanted was to be Prime Minister. Sadly he has no idea how to do the job.

OK, Paul -- well, that's closer than I come on most things, so I'm content.
