Amanda Vanstone has just stirred them up on the Drum..abc
she stated correctly...the majority of the illegals, have gone from their country of persecution....and travelled into 2 or 3 other countries.....note no persecution there... to arrive in Indonesia.....again no persecution.... to come to Australia
the UN rights charter only states we have to accept people moving from the first country....and who are escaping persecution..... these people are illegal, and are not refugees
if they get on a boat in Iran....and travel directly to AUS...then they are legal immigrants, refugees
