stop the boats

For Libs border protection was and still is only about stopping the boats.

If you stop the boats you wouldn't have to turn them back.

Physically turning the boats back is a figment of the loony left imagination, a campaign of mis-information, mis-quotes and lies by the socialist propagandists who know their days are numbered in the great Australian Nation.

Libs Border Protection Policy;

• prevent the problem by minimising the outflows from countries of origin and secondary outflows from countries of first asylum;

• disrupt people smugglers and intercept boats en route to Australia, while ensuring that those people in need of refugee protection are identified and assisted as early as possible;

• receive and return by developing appropriate reception/detention arrangements for unauthorised arrivals who reach Australia, processing all applications off shore and focusing on the early assessment of the refugee status of the individual, the prompt removal of those who are not refugees, or who are refugees but can access effective protection elsewhere, and the removal of additional benefits such as permanent protection visas, access to the family reunion programme and access to Australian domestic courts to pursue appeals that are not required by the UN Convention on Refugees.
