Major BS's leaky boat of confidence

Major Jeremy Billycock-Smythe has applauded the likelihood now that more illegal refugees will be welcomed into the Australian community as part of their processing.

"I feel qualified to comment on this. After all, I was a bit of a trendsetter in this area, wasn't I, what?" Major BS said.

He was referring to his part in the novel, Major BS: A Top Secret Mission, which has recently become available as an ebook.

It is true that an experiment to place refugees in the community is central to the plot of that book.

But it is also true Major BS is far from a success on that score.

Besides, even if Major BS were not a mere fictional character - a pretend British citizen and knighthood wannabe - he has a very dubious track record when it comes to empathy for illegal refugees.

He once planned to build a tunnel on Nauru, not to facilitate an escape but to get to the detainees so he could find out what they could do for him business-wise.

"I refuse to be silent just because someone says I am not a real person," Major BS said. "I have the same right as anyone else to voice an opinion.

"All I am saying is bring in on. The old shearing shed is now nearly ready."
