"Australia a free country? People are being locked up for coming here and trying to live a better life!"
I'll bite...Australia does NOT refuse anyone the right to become an Australian citizen. Prospective Australians will be advised to use the proper channels and supply documentation to support their identity. Failure to do so will result in incarceration until alleged claims are investigated. These investigations are to protect the security and welfare of Australians and it's visitors. Using short cuts to obtain entry is unfair to those who use the correct channels. It IS queue jumping to bypass other countries enroute to Australia and claim asylum. It is illegal to obtain entry under false circumstances.
Surely you can see that EVERY single person entering via a leaky boat can't be telling the truth.
Where is the racism to speak logic?
I'm sure that the minority are genuine and are grateful to be given the chance to become Australian and embrace the country and contribute. And the rest are economic free loaders.
