The government, and the official record, disagrees with you.
However, if you have any evidence to support your claim (which, let's face it, is nothing more than personal opinion), please present it now.
People who say "I claim asylum" are genuine asylum seekers - undeniable fact.
The majority of asylum seekers who come by boat are granted genuine refugee status - undeniable fact.
Facts trump personal opinions every time.
Did you know that even the agents working directly with the UN believe that Australia's criteria for judging someone's eligibility for refugee status is too lenient?
Did you know that?
And then ...

The government guaranteed the people of Australia need not fear the reintroduction of TB into Australia ... and that all the refugees from East Africa were being scrupulously checked by appointed medical staff to ensure this.
And then a GP discovered a case of TB.
An 'internal investigation' was hastily mounted, with the result that the government medicos admitted that because of the sheer numbers waiting to be examined ~ only 1 in 9 were being thoroughly checked for TB.
The day I take at face value what the government tells us is true, is the day I have slipped into Senile Dementia with no hope of recovery.
As for the above ~ it's all on public record. How do I know? Because I read it, and 4 Corners, The 7.30 Report, etc raised Cain about it.
