If you measure the the amount of boats that *successfully* completed their mission on the period specified, turns out its also zero on the red side too.

And theres plenty of boats still trying it on since the libs got into power. Difference is theres a huge media gag on thats preventing it being reported properly.

To think this is eliminating people smuggling as a business model is ludicrous too. If boats are still setting out, it means they will still be exploiting customers, as criminal organisation usually don't work based on the honesty system.

Yeah, sometimes it can feel like evil isn't a puzzle to be solved, but rather a gigantic, inertial force. Trying to make things better feels like jumping to halt the orbit of the Earth.

Any personal effort you make counts for far more than the small amount of your tax money that goes into your nation's acts of evil, don't feel bad for things you cannot help and just do what acts of good you can. In the end these acts of evil weigh far more heavily on those who made the decision to commit them than they do on any single tax payer.

Technically speaking, if those tax receipts are legit, the government has made offsetting their horrible bullshit a lot easier. Count up how much of your money they spend on travesties of justice, and try to counter it.

Nah you're right lets go back to the pissing contest of who can be more depressed about our refugee policy that will never change without a massive societal shift like the ones encouraged in this documentary/call Scott Morrison a oval office without actually saying oval office because the last 5 pages of it didnt really emphasise it enough.

You're absolutely right, but first statistics!

More looking around on the department of immigration website leads to their various reports and publications.

The last two are good reads; the asylum trends document helps break down the details of asylum seekers into groups like age, sex, were they the principal asylum applicant or a dependant as well as presenting the information in a couple of formats. Section 1 is 'Normal' (legal, paid visa) asylum seekers, Section 2 is IMAs (Illegal Maritime Arrivals). The other document 'Immigration Detention and Community Statistics Summary' has an interesting line graph on page 5 showing total population in detention - it climbs very rapidly from 2010 onwards. On a hunch I googled Iran 2011, it was easy to see that a lot was going down in that part of the world.

The piece of information that stood out to me from reading was how people were able to apply for permanent protection visas (PPVs) which allow them permanent residency in Australia as well as access to legal work and Medicare. The Minister for Immigration has placed a cap on the number of these that can be granted per 'programme year' as covered in this section on 'disallowance' of PPVs. You can also see the wide variety of visa types available at the dept. of immigration website; of note are the XB class visas (this is one of them, the other types can be viewed from the fees page under Other>Protection Visa Applications) which, if I have interpreted the information correctly, allow people (including current asylum seekers) to propose others for permanent residency as asylum seekers.

According to the page (Click on 'Community Pilot' at the 'Refugee visa (subclass 200)' page) there are only 500 of these places allowed to be granted per programme year, unless referred by UNHCR. The process for application is otherwise through AMES (Victoria), Brotherhood of St Laurence (Victoria), Illawarra Multicultural Services (New South Wales), Liverpool Migrant Resource Centre (New South Wales). So it seems other states are without options.

Unlawful three year old Tamil asylum seekers threaten to undermine the very Western way of life through their life-threatening ocean crossing voyage to a prison camp.

e: something I don't get about the mystery title giver is why they're so willing to quote things like Nazi propaganda and obviously anti-Semitic statements from racist, long dead politicians while also keeping a veil of anonymity. It's like they want to wear their heart on their sleeve, but they're not actually brave enough to come out and say "hey I think Hitler did nothing wrong".

Unless Murpo's right about the source in which case it's explained pretty quickly.

Good and correct posts. It is revolting and tragic and it's good that we recognise it and try to spend our time doing things which are not revolting and tragic and we should remember that because look how easy it is to be an arsehole and yet, we are not massive arseholes.
