knowing fully well that the government doesn't give a gently caress, isn't it straight up illegal to return asylum seekers to their place of alleged persecution without checking the eligibility?

Preventing refoulment is exactly the point of the refugee convention. It's what happened to Jewish people fleeing Nazi Germany and here we are in 2016 refouling the gently caress out of people without processing. Awesome.

Actually I think you'll find that the convention is outdated and refouling people is fine now.

Cartoon posted:They'll say they checked and it was all A Okay. Also Dutton was already spouting off about how this wasn't a boat arrival. There it is mate, a loving boat arriving. What the gently caress is hard to understand here? Apparently there are 'operational' reasons why this isn't a complete pack of lies. They were picked up on a navy ship and came to shore on it so it wasn't a boat arrival, it was a ship arrival.

Meet the Liberal National party’s candidate for the federal seat of Brisbane, 34-year-old Trevor Evans. Evans, who is the current CEO of the National Retail Association, was pre-selected last month to run for the Liberal National party in the hope he’ll replace retiring LNP MP, Teresa Gambaro. The race for Brisbane is also set to be one of the most closely watched at this year’s election, as both he and his competitor, Labor’s Pat O’Neil, are gay men. It sets up the first race in Australian history where both major party candidates are gay. If people want to find out more about Trevor Evans they could go to his website and learn all about his history working with the Salvation Army and time as chief of staff to now immigration minister Peter Dutton. Except one passage really jumps out. It’s about his early years “growing up without much” and family who “instilled the values that helped him become the person his is today [sic].” The passage stands out mostly because Trevor suddenly becomes “Tim”. BuzzFeed News googled the passage and found the website of fake US congressman, Tim Hawthorne, which has been set up by a digital design agency to advertise its products. The passage is under the “About Tim Hawthorne” section and is word-for-word the same as the sentences used by Trevor Evans, including the typo. Minutes later the website’s “About Trevor Evans” section was taken down.

Maurice & Blackburn are always advertising about specialising in worker's comp cases and have a no-win, no fee guarantee. You'd think eventually someone would sue.

Let's not get misty eyed about the UN refugee charter. It was simply set up to deprive the eastern bloc of labour in the desperate postwar years, and force the collapse of their system. No one had any intention of actually providing refuge, and only the UK, Australia, Canada and Germany ever actually provided refugess with shelter and full rights.

The trouble with Tamils seeking protection is that the Australian Government refuses to concede that there is so much as an issue in Sri Lanka who are good friends of ours. The civil war is over; everyone is happy now... I could be mistaken but we tend to not even bother detaining them for a period and just return these people as quickly as possible

The civil war is over; everyone is happy now... Not sure what the problem here is friend. If they turn them back quickly there's less chance of drownings. What the Sri Lankan government does to said people is not our problem and furthermore it's their own fault that they're part of the same ethnic group as a militant organisation on the losing side of a civil war. The Tamil Tigers had light aircraft, if these people were genuine Tamil refugees why are they coming by boat? Makes you think.
