coalition hypocrisy on refugees exposed, page-29

Well put debono.
The Malaysian deal together with re-opening Manus Island should both slow the flow of asylum seekers and enable all processing to take place off-shore.
This would produce substantial cost reductions as rejected asylum seekers would not be able launch appeals in our courts which delays their deportation.
I hope the government will shortly be able to close most of the mainland detention centres.
