RADIO announcer Ray Hadley has called on the Federal Government for a detailed report and explanation after he revealed 80 asylum seekers have been living inside the grounds of a Sydney university.
On his radio show this morning, Hadley said approximately 80 Sri Lankan men were living at student accommodation inside Macquarie University.
"I don’t have too much respect for Swedish girls. I guess you can say they get f****d to pieces.”

"In the grounds of the university there are two dorm buildings housing young women - those dorms are surrounded by the dormitories containing the 80 Sri Lankan men,'' Hadley said.
"According to people I've spoken to at the university, the young women feel both intimdated and frightened by having the men in close proximity. Some are in fact scared and conveyed that to police officers on the scene yesterday.''
NSW Police today confirmed officers were investigating reports a man indecently assaulted a female university student while she was sleeping in her dormitory.
Detectives have been told a 20-year-old woman was asleep in her dormitory when a man broke into her room and indecently assaulted her about 3.20am yesterday.
The woman awoke during the incident and the man fled the scene.
The man is described as 20-25 years old, thin build, dark skinned, with dark short curly hair. He was wearing no t-shirt and a pair of grey coloured tracksuit pants.
Hadley has called on the Immigration Department to provide a report into why the university was doubling as "some sort of a Quasi detention centre".

Oh my god what next. Its about time this Gov got off their ar..... to stop the boat people arriving. The only way this will stop is to put them on a plane and send them back. If they can pay big bucks to come here then they are not refugees. Why should we suffer. The money the gov has spent on the boat people could be spent on improving our roads and hospitals. Wake up Aust we are being ripped off.

Gillard and co have brought this situation about, they're responsible for encouraging illegal entry to Australia, pandering to the wannabe asylum-seekers and wasting huge amounts of our money on them. It's now just going to get worse and Labor don't care as they'll pass on the problem to Abbott and then criticise him when he can't fix up the mess they made. It's always the same. Labor gets us in dire straits and leaves the Liberals to try and clean up. One thing's for sure, it won't be Gillard's daughter who gets attacked nor her kids sent overseas to risk their lives and to fight unwinnable wars.

Who the hell thought that this was a good idea? 80 unknown males in a dorm on a uni campus! How many more uni's have this setup? What about boarding schools? Nothing would surprise me.

With illegals allowed to flood our borders in record numbers, it's inevitable such incidents will take place. Looking forward to the election to rid ourselves of this incompetent Government and a more efficient method of vetting and controlling who comes to our country and the numbers

Round them all up, send them all back. It's that bloody simple! Who cares what the United Nations says or what the leftie activists say. This is not on. At the rate all these people arrive by boat and flock to large cities - that cannot handle the influx - the fact that they won't have enough money or skills or resources will mean rises in petty crime as well. Australia should look to the disasters of illegal immigration and the outcome in Europe. Greece being a prime example, with the influx of illegals exceeding the hundreds of thousands and the crime rate, which incidentally has given rise to extreme groups or anti illegal immigration groups like Golden Dawn.

First they are housing asylum seekers in retirement / nursing homes when there are so many homeless Australians living on the streets. Now they are housing them at our Uni's, instead of letting our kids use the rooms (which they would be paying for). What is it going to take before the Government fixes this.... Reduce the processing time of asylum seekers, house them in appropriate (secure) housing and don't house them together in large groups. If the Government considers them save enough to be release into the public, then they can be housed in small groups or with families from their own country. Stop putting the Australian public at risk..............

This is just another example of the abject failure the present federal governmenst policy that Australians have been saddled with. The legacy of this failure will be with us for ever and the economic cost will be crushing. The current prime minister and her party will lose the upcoming election in a landslide backlash....she will retire from politics on her indexed pension for life of $495,000 pa, plus perks and we, the mugs, will be left with the social and economic disaster.

Imagine if we treated our homeless and underprivileged and elderly as well as we treat asylum seekers. The government should impose a cap on how many they take in each year, once the caps met all others are turned away back to where they came from.

How can the Universities allow this to happen let alone the gov't. How do they do there security checks??? How may students have missed out on the chance of accommodation at the Uni. Come on Australia and I'm with ay Hadley on this one.
