I hope I’m not diminishing the obvious humanitarianism of the ALP proposal to accept refugees from pacific islands affected by sea level rise by pointing out that it’s also smart business. If we take in those 175,000 people we’d get with them about six million k2 of exclusive economic zone. That’s 36 k2 per refugee, giving every Australian another quarter-k2 of room – enough to give Peter Ker his own exclusive lap pool and stop him wingeing about us other users.
