Wrong.

Those descriptors such as "queue jumpers" don't appear anywhere in the UN conventions to which Australia is a signatory. They are made-up terms used by people who want to feel better about their own prejudices.

A refugee's right to be protected against forcible return or expulsion is set out in the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees:

No Contracting State shall expel or return a refugee in any manner whatsoever where his life or freedom would be threatened on account of his race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social or political opinion (Article 33(1)).

Australia signed up for this.

Good on Tony for keeping the economic refugees out of Australia. They are not wanted here. The UN is a failed organisation.
