Hard line asylum stance won't stop them leaving, but may stop them arriving

Ben Doherty

July 20, 2013

The announcement by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd Friday that asylum seekers who reach Australian waters would be resettled in Papua New Guinea has made prominent news in all major newspapers in Sri Lanka.

Mr Rudd is also on the front page of India's mass-circulating Hindu, alongside the headline "Australia slams the door on refugees".

A series of Australian government advertisements - in newspapers, on radio and TV, and in English, Tamil and Sinhala - has for months been cautioning Sri Lankan asylum seekers “there is no special treatment” for those who arrive in Australia by boat.

Dr Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu, Director of the Centre for Policy Alternatives in Colombo, said Australia's shift in refugee policy would quickly become widely known in Sri Lanka.

“People will pay attention to it, but the people who are leaving Sri Lanka are doing so because of their situation in Sri Lanka, the lack of political freedom, fears for their own safety, the fact that they don't believe the government's rhetoric about economic development.

"I don't think they are jumping on boats because of a desire to go to Australia per se… it is not about where they are fleeing to, but where they are fleeing from.”

But Mr Bowen said it was important to advertise the new boats plan in Australia, because recent migrants from countries such as Iran, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan would communicate it back to their home countries

The national campaign will be followed by advertisements overseas.

hhhmmmm

I was not aware asylum seekers subscribed to Australian newspapers

Bowen has come out today saying "They might pass the message back home"

You do realise the ads are aimed at relatives and countrymen who are already in Australia so they can spread the message to those that they know who are thinking of coming to Australia via boat.
If not.. you're dumber than I thought..and that was pretty dumb to start with.
The more the message gets out there by whatever means the fewer people will attempt the dangerous journey and the faster this problem will be solved.

Its obvious that Maqqa has taken to the bottle to calm his nerves now that Tony Abbott is doomed.
