People smuggling 101 on web: Morrison

THE Opposition has attacked a new government website that provides information to asylum seeker boat arrivals, labelling it an online 'welcome advertisement' for people smugglers.

The Coalition's immigration spokesman Scott Morrison has ridiculed the website, which went live this morning, saying it could just as well be called "captainemad.com" after the alleged Iraqi people smuggling kingpin who was granted refugee protection in Australia.

The website outlines the processes that boat arrivals will be subject to whilst their claims for protection are being assessed, including initial health and security checks and review processes.

But Mr Morrison said the website showed just how far the government was out of step with the Australian people on the matter.

"It shows them (boat arrivals) how they can access the protection system, it shows them what entitlements they will have entitlements to taxpayer funded legal advice, migration experts, their appeal rights through the courts."

"It is basically an open invitation to come on down and try your luck," Mr Morrison said.

"You can effectively call this captainemad.com."

But Immigration Minister Chris Bowen's office defended the website, saying whilst Mr Morrison was happy for asylum seekers to get "myths" from people smugglers the government was putting out the facts.

"This information is not new and has always been publicly available on the Immigration website," Mr Bowen's spokesman said.

"It's important to counter the false promises people smugglers are peddling to get asylum seekers on boats."

The spokesman said if Tony Abbott and Mr Morrison really wanted to stop the boats they would support the government's legislation for offshore processing.

Last month saw the highest number of boat arrivals to reach Australia since August 2001, the month of the Tampa incident.

The only thing missing is a list of contact numbers for people smugglers.

Australia provides protection to refugees and people at risk of significant harm.

This website contains general information for you if you arrived in Australia by boat without a visa.

Yawn.

What harm did the good captain flee from? Perhaps his business competitors in the perfume trade threatened him with lower prices.

Yawn. Yawn.

Oh, of course!

What brilliant logic: he was involved in criminal activity, therefore all asylum seekers must be criminals.

Genius!

You need to close your border and let no refugee in until you resolve this crisis.
I have worked in border control. It is not hard you just make it clear that they are not coming in

Yes. Israel creates refugees. Other people then have to deal with them. This information is a few years old:

Host country      Ratio of refugee population to total population      Number of refugees
West Bank + Gaza      1:2      1'739'000
Jordan      1:6      862'700
Lebanon      1:13      294'200
Syria      1:15      1'329'300
Chad      1:35      286'800
Congo (DRC)      1:62      60'000
Ecuador      1:64      207'500
Iran      1:69      1'025'000
Cyprus      1:75      13'400
Pakistan      1:77      2'161'500
Tanzania      1:78      485'700
Saudi Arabia      1:100      241'100

Source: http://www.refugeecouncil.org.au/arp/stats-01.html

Every second person on the West Bank is a refugee. Australia's numbers are even a pimple in comparison.

Like I've said before, when we want to know how to get all our neighbours to bomb us, rest assured we'll come ask for your guidance. Until then...

So do you just assume that because they don't look like typical blond haired blue eyed Aussies, they must be refugees ? laughable especially considering your a stupid isreali here legally ... do you think that your the only one australia would allow in ... why would they let anyone else in when Avram is already here .....

So nobody lives there? The people that do don't have to deal with the refugees YOU create? You can ignore the problem because it is a "disputed territory"?

OK, fine with me. No sweat. We'll ignore Gaza too lest our little student of stupidity finds some other irrelevancy.

So... as I was saying... JORDAN... one in six people is a refugee. Australia's "crisis" is a pimple in comparison.

I don't and they are our neighbour.

Care about your own refugee problem and leave every one else to their own problem?

You know your problem? I see this in immigration centre in Sydney,. You are much too nice.
You give these people money homes and they can ride the bus free etc.

I cannot believe you spend so much on these people who do nothing good for you.

My friend and I, we both Tel Aviv people, we were unbelieving of what we saw!

Because they are not as soft as you.

In Israel we would never give like you. We are sending back our non jew undesireds.

Go! Live in Israel. Get bombed. See if I care. You created the problem, you live with it. If I wanted to live like fools like you I'd go live in Israel. But I don't!

You know Avram, maybe I'm going about it all wrong. It occurs to me that I should listen very closely to your advice about what we should NOT do. And then I should make sure we do EXACTLY that.

"We should make more refugee centres because Avram said not to."

Yes the Asian run to? that's right australia an Asian country, DER!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Really this is such a stupid argument and i do mean stupid with all the demeaning and politically incorrect contradictions. They come here because we offer the best chance of a better life. They come here because this land of opportunity not only supports them but it supports their chance too pay for their family to be smuggled here too.

Do you really want to destroy these peoples hope for a better life and a future filled with possibility for their children and loved ones? then stop your pathetic whinging and vote for the Malaysian solution which is no less cruel or inhumane than the Pacific solution, it just belongs to a different group of Bigots.

They dont all come here. Some go to UK and NZ and other countries. They go wherever they can.

Israel obviously will not show any compassion so should be shown none.

We accept immigrants and other countries accept australian immigrants.
