You are meant to be the leader of our government, not the compere of a comedy channel.

I appreciate humour as much as the next person, but I do not appreciate the sick jokes that appear to be the major part of your routine.

When you announced the introduction of the titles of knights and dames, I seriously thought it was an April Fool's joke.

Investing yourself with the power to create four new knights and/or dames each year has caused many of your most implacable supporters to ask "has he gone mad?"

Some are blaming Peta Credlin, as your own ministers are asking themselves "how come she is the power behind the throne when no one has elected her?"

To move on to your latest sick joke when after visits by our Foreign Affairs and Immigration Ministers to Cambodia, you have thanked the Cambodian government for any assistance it was able to provide in the resettlement of refugees/immigration detainees.

I think irony is a concept that is missing from your lexicon of concepts, but I will provide some facts that might cause you to appreciate the irony of your statements in the light of recent Australian history.

In 1978-79 under the Liberal coalition government of Malcolm Fraser, Australia accepted 137,000 refugees from Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, as did Canada.

I suspect that the majority of refugees/immigration detainees for whom you wish to abdicate your humanitarian responsibilities are of the Muslim faith.

The Muslim populations in Indo-China are: Cambodia 2 per cent; Vietnam 0.08 per cent; Laos 0.01 per cent.

We have seen recent examples in Myanmar of lethal conflict between Buddhists and Muslims.

If you have any conscience at all, please reconsider using our financial and military might to coerce poor Asian countries into putting displaced Muslims in harm's way.

Papua New Guinea is not a correct answer, either. Their own clan feuds, violence and endemic corruption make it hard for them to sustain their own indigenous people. What do you think would happen to Muslims sent there, or do you not care?

Federal Labor is not without blame in this either. They installed a process that has facilitated your excesses and now feel unable to comment on your Cambodian solution I guess until after the Western Australian election as they don't want to put some of your natural 'redneck' constituents further off-side.

What is your final solution, prime minister, or dare I not ask?
