Yep Dave, so when they are sent back home for being found to be telling porkies they have still acted legally? Most Austrailans are happy to hear them called illegals so fed up are they with the situation.
Fancy it being legal to travel here using an illegal service, without approval, throwing away your identity papers, claiming asylum and thus risking personels lives, wasting people's time, tax payers money and holding up the attmittance of genuine asylum seekers.
