I've never understood why the libs, who were so opposed to asylum seekers, didn't do just that! It doesn't make sense that they ignore the convention and still remain party to it. I'd look really bad if we withdrew form the Convention. We only maintain our signature to save face. We're in the process of trying to schmooze the UN. The kicker is, we are losing it by degrees for our treatment of asylum seekers. Never opposed to asylum seekers. Those who patiently wait inline and not complain Just opposed to country shoppers, queue jumpers, verification avoidance and those who wilfully try to take advantage of Australia's generosity There is no queue that one joins, in order to become an asylum seeker. You have been misinformed. Doesn't it start at Australia's front door ? No. There's no front door, or back door. No queue, and no illegal activity. Because if 10000 people apply for asylum they are all processed at exactly the same time. The government gets 10,000 staff to interview and review them all on the same day and the 30,000 back office people do the same. Because there is 'no queue'. Of course there is a queue you daft git. No. There's no queue. There is a queue peccahead. Every boat person that arrived displaced someone from the quota we had for taking people in overseas camps, those who could afford to pay people smugglers pushed in. Peccerhead relies on a pointless pedantic diversion. He equates leaving a beach with processing and process and quotas. Hence when he says there is no queue he is talking about there being no queue to access and pay a people smuggler or get yourself a dinghy. Most people, apart from obfuscating idiots understand what is meant by the queue and being removed from it. Hell Gillard made promises that country shoppers would go to the back of the queue. Rudd made it explicit with his promise that if you arrived as a country shopper you would not even get onto the queue. And yes, every country shopper displaces someone from the intake quota. Another one for the plank thick clowns. Quote:As a result, he said, it was taking up to six years to process refugee applicants, which also made it more difficult for overseas applicants who had “waited patiently in line to be assessed” and had far more “urgent and compelling” cases than most applicants in Australia. It was another version of the queue-jumping concept cited from Gough Whitlam onwards. http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/jan/01/cabinet-papers-1990-91-labor-wrestled-with-rising-asylum-claims
