Four Corners heads up!

Four Corners tonight looks at people smugglers.

From the shorts it should be interesting.

Reporter: Sarah Ferguson
Broadcast: 29/07/2010

It's one of the biggest issues in the election campaign. While Australia spends millions of dollars to stop the flow of asylum seeker boats, its efforts are constantly undermined by criminals and corrupt military and government officials. These operators have worked in secret... until now.

Four Corners has caught them on camera.

Most asylum seekers are terrified to take on the people smugglers. Reporter Sarah Ferguson meets one who is not. This asylum seeker is determined to expose the people smugglers who use refugees as "commodities". In a series of hidden camera stings, the smugglers and their accomplices are filmed talking about boats, bribes and Australian border security.

Turnbull skitches AM host, Tony Eastley

And goes for the throat when speaking of the fiery boat incident.

Eastley keeps interrupting him to make points that it's not the ALP/Rudd's fault that more refugees are coming, and that the injured are not in hospital yet and the opposition/Turnbull are politicising the incident.

Turnbull replies that Eastley is the one politicising it.

Should be here about 9am. I might talk about it later.

Oh, and the gem of the radio interviewers was the fool who asked a representative from the hospital I think,(paraphrased) "When you say that there was a fracture to the upper limb, could you tell us exactly which part of the body that is?"
