Why doesn't Australia simply pull out of the treaty they
signed with regard to the rights of refugees. I don't
believe Japan has signed it(and they're the second
richest and most developed country in the world). The
government is obviously unhappy at being put over a
barrel and I presume a majority of the population are
unhappy with the situation as the election was all about
this issue(by the way I didn't hear the cacaphony of
wailing and sympathy from prominent newspapers like
the SMH and previous prime ministers during the election
campaign).
Basically this whole palava is costing our country millions when there are plenty of good causes in Australia to spend the money on. We know(and can probably understand) that people would want to migrate
to this and other developed countries for economic reasons but it's a fact of life that we must look after our own first - it's as simple as that. How people can
keep a straight face asking for asylum when they've lived in one , two or three countries since they fled
persecution in their original country amazes me.
Yes, follow the lead of the non-Western countries like
Japan who openly proclaim that their blood lines are
100% pure and come out of any treaties on the rights
of refugees. That wouldn't prevent us making adhoc
decisions in favour of genuine cases and the long suffering Australian taxpayer(who isn't guaranteed a good life here just because he was born here) wouldn't
have to shoulder the burden of the economic migration
industry.
