Who gives a shit. Deport them before they can claim asylum. Especially if they have come via any third country.
If they are truly seeking only asylum they could do it at a country nearer to where they came from and not half way around the world.
What a sensational point. Why Australia, assumingly anywhere would be better than their country. We just watched 60 minutes and there was a story on there about the people who come here and they are poor at all, they are rich fuks and have travelled previously before coming here on the boat. At the end of the day it costs this flotsam 10k to come here, if they were that poor where do they come up with that loot?
I hope to find the link to the story soon, but they were interviewing a family who was well off and were luck enough to come here on the boat and stay.
It is absolutely fuked.
