Reaper..you dont follow me..I think these people are coming from places like Indonesia where they have been for long periods of time...but the attraction of Australia beckons. Christmas Is is not too far away..and others have made it by boat? They have already escaped their own countries and the persecution that you describe.
I still think that some-one should insist that an international agency close down the obviously dangerously situated... Christmas Island Asylum base.
The MESSAGE needs to be sent loud and clear that the international agency has BANNED the place... Its an action that Australia probably cant take but it is one I would think the international regulator of such things should step in and take charge of.
If AS parents were to break such a bann by subjecting their children to such obvious mortal danger...by taking the trip by boats... the children should be removed from their care...that would deter bringing children ..or harming more children. Under our laws..I believe If parents do not properly care for their children, like elsewhere in the world and knowingly put them in mortal danger.....authorities have the responsiblity to protect those children. We reward them by giving them special treatment/accommodation etc. if they are lucky and make it by boat. The message must be NOT to bring children this way...
I know that they are desparate but this situation must be tackled in every possible way, even if harsh.imo.
I think that Australia should allow more people to immigrate here, but not this way. Stop such tragedies..Close Christmas Island detention centre its just too dangerous where it is and how people must travel there.
Why cant these people be processed in a safe place???
Oh they were in a safe place before they bought a ticket for the boat trip? and knowing risked childrens lives.. so whats going on in that safe place? Too many people...too long to wait? How many are waiting?
