My postillion has been struck by lightning.
Depoliticise the issue of asylum seekers: have everyone agree to treat them with basic human decency while their claims are being processed, give them access to legal aid and let the court system do its job in processing claims without government interference, and grant them asylum in Australia if they're found to be refugees. Australia receives far fewer asylum seekers per capita than the US or most European countries, and yet for the past 15 years it's been a huge political issue where both major parties are constantly trying to one-up each other on being Tough On Illegals. It's the single ugliest part of Australian politics right now and it's completely unnecessary.
