Let me get this right - if we treat asylum seekers like invading criminals we are being cruel under international law - so therefore if we are cruel we should not be extending asylum to anyone seeking it, since they should not be forced to accept our cruelty?

OK........

Let me get it right for you
(1) If we are cruel then we would have been prosecuted by now - therefore there's no cruelty

by whom?

UN

(2) The illegals have a right to withdraw their application at any time and go home

the fact that they don't is rather telling don't you think?

Yes it is telling

Australia is not cruel

How about 'egregious'?

If the asylum applicants believe what Amnesty is saying then they are welcome to withdraw their application

Any idea how many Australian laws have been changed to prevent refugees from taking any type of action and to prevent anyone who knows anything from being able to report it ?

Feel free to show us these laws

Once these illegals qualify as a refugee - it's still not too late to F#CK OFF

You've been misinformed.

Asylum seekers aren't illegals.

And he's doing an extraordinarily good job.

The first thing he needs to do, is learn the difference between asylum seekers and illegals.

Otherwise, he's just going to keep making a dill of himself.

Own goal Maqqa.

Your admission is the own goal

We've seen accusations from the left about how Australia is causing them to self harm, suicide, rape concentration camp etc

But if these things are truly that bad to drive them to this point then we are treating them worser that where they come from

If we are treating them this bad then we should see 2 things
(1) Voluntary application for asylum to another country - permitted under Article 31 section 2 of the UN Refugee Convention
(2) Voluntary withdraw their application to go back to their own country

Clearly there's been no voluntary withdraw of application or a voluntary application to another country. This means the conditions in Australia is clearly to their liking

(1) If we are cruel then we would have been prosecuted by now - therefore there's no cruelty

(1) Under what law would Australia's government (as separate from its people - snuckle - now there's a rub) be prosecuted for cruel treatment of asylum seekers?

For Crimes Against Humanity? That actually might wash if someone had the balls to put it up there... I'm sure Geoffrey Robertson would make a case at The Hague... hypothetically speaking.....

As Grigor said - a convention is not a Law and is not enforceable other than in conscience - and again - there's a rub with this government...

It seems gentlemen's agreements are anything but.. and once again - there's a rub in many ways and places here today....

(2) Ah, yes - but can we equally say that an asylum seeker is ENCOURAGED to continue his/her application when placed under the pressures that currently exist? An application is, after all, only an application and is pending proof or acceptance of its genuine nature..... why then is so much effort expended in trying to get applicants to withdraw their application before the proof is put to the test?

That would be the International Human Rights Law. UN Treaties. International Criminal Court oversea and enforce these laws

The Laws and Treaty I cited above are enforceable. Many have been prosecuted by it

(2) Ah, yes - but can we equally say that an asylum seeker is ENCOURAGED to continue his/her application when placed under the pressures that currently exist?

So now there theory is they are co-erced into continuing with the application. Bogeyman under the bed. If so then they are no longer asylum seeking.

We hear leftards telling everyone how Australia is SOOOOOOO cruel

If we are so cruel then these ILLEGALS are welcome to withdraw their asylum claim anytime.

They can apply to New Zealand if they want or to any other country

In fact if they have FACTS backing the cruelty claim they can claim asylum to other countries based on this cruelty

Has anyone seen any ILLEGALS withdrawing their application and go back to their country?

So if you ain't withdrawing your application then SHUT THE F#CK UP and wait until we process you!!!

You've been misinformed.

Asylum seekers aren't illegals.

"Asylum" seekers may not be illegal

but the method by which they seek asylum definitely is

Furthermore in most cases they have done everything possible to prevent it being discovered they are not genuine....

they are economic migrants arriving by illegal means

if as many say ... "there are more illegals here that have come by plane"

then why do we have boat people who have flown halfway around the globe to Indonesia & paid people smugglers at considerable expense....

then hop on a leaky boat in dangerous seas for the shortest leg of their journey?

It's because the premise of desperate asylum seeker is just a lie.

I'm sure people like you could be commercially fished....

because you rise on the flimsiest of bait.
