wait being granted refugee status = citizenship?

bitch have you lost your mind?

you know why australia should be responsible? maybe because were fucking up the livelihoods of afghanis and iraqis (most of the boat people are them), maybe we should resettle them.

Yes, we should certainly reconsider our role in the war of terror, thank you Howard.

Yes, thats how the system works, refugees don't get to pick the country which takes them. Taking a boat to Aus and expecting to be offered citizenship is subverting the internationally agreed system.
Firstly we're not talking about citizenship. Secondly it is legal to seek asylum in Australia, it doesn't matter how you arrive or what your means are.

Yup, you have to have an actual case though, wanting to live somewhere with a better lifestyle isn't it.
There is then no requirement or likelihood that you'll finally be settled in Australia, seems odd to make a round the world trip in that event. Whats the purpose then?
it doesn't matter how you arrive or what your means are
Actually it does, since asylum seekers are supposed to claim asylum in the first safe country they reach, not country-hop until they reach somewhere nice.
Destroying your documents and pitching up in a sinking boat is a ruse compared with arriving at the airport with your passport and presenting a proper claim for asylum.

And you accuse me of ignorance

"The Contracting States shall not impose penalties, on account of their illegal entry or presence, on refugees who, coming directly from a territory where their life or freedom was threatened in the sense of article 1, enter or are present in their territory without authorization, provided they present themselves without delay to the authorities and show good cause for their illegal entry or presence. (Article 31, (1))
Note the word "directly".

So: They have the choice, they can enter a country illegally if its the first country they come to, or they can present at a border or embassy of a second country if they wish.

Entering a country illegally by an indirect route is not allowed.

Also "life or freedom". Being unhappy about living in a third world country, however shitty, and and wanting to live in a first world country doesn't cut it.

You believe there is a queue and that asylum seekers are illegals. That says it all really.

Many people claiming asylum are clearly making bogus claims, there is an asylum processing system, and a refugee lottery system both of which are effectively queues, bogus asylum seekers will be displacing genuine asylum seekers, and technically if an 'asylum seeker' does not make their claim at the first country they come to then they can be treated as illegals.

I'm not sure what you're claiming exactly, you're exposing your own ignorance really.

its like 10%. 12k a year come by boat, which means thats 1k people. there are way more people (looking at you pommies) that come to aus under false immigration pretenses and they break their visa conditions.

if you really cared about the illegal immigration issue in this country youd petition the gov to stop letting in pommies here.

Nope, 50k/yr are currently coming by boat, mostly they haven't been assessed yet so we'll see.

POMs aren't generally claiming political asylum or refugee status here, or migrating illegally by some other means.

If only their boats could make it across the Pacific ocean. They would be set if they could make it here and didn't  commit crimes.

Yes poms are migrating by illegal means. they make false claims on their visas, hence migration fraud you dolt.

Anyone watch the debate? It doesn't air here, (obviously,) so I'll be looking at the fallout tomorrow whatever it is. I hope Abbott made an arse of himself but I imagine the LNP would have prepared very carefully.

I had a look at the rules of the debate so I imagine it would have been fairly toothless. Also the panel made up of journalists... Having one ABC panelist, one News Ltd. panelist and one Fairfax panelist seems skewed well in favor of Abbott. One neutral and two Liberal fans - and Peter fucking Hartcher? The man's a political analyst and he's wrong at least five times as much as he's right. I have a better fucking record than that nong and it's not even my job let alone my country.

Anyway I hope Abbott crashed and burned and Rudd managed to tone down his smarmy fuck-headedness.

Nope, looking at the web page you quote:
By calendar year last year was 17,202, by financial year 25,173
Year before was 4,565, by financial year 7,983

Presumably you can see the upward trend.
3,351 Arrived in April, annualised that would make 40,212/year. With a steep upward line in the graph its not far to go to 50k.

Abbott seemed confident and full of shit, Rudd seemed rattled and angry but trying hard to be the cheery and smarmy Mr Nice.

Both were well drilled and trying to maneuvre to recite their carefully rehearsed set-piece arguments.

The presenter seemed fairly pro-Abbott, as did all the journalists, Rudd going back to a previous point after the next question was asked came off very badly.

"Political leaders continue to add to public fears about people arriving by boat but they make little or no effort to put the small number of asylum seekers entering Australia into any global context. Little attention is paid to the fact that so many asylum seekers who arrive by boat are found to have well-founded fears of persecution."
pretty much sums up your ignorance. zurr my god stop the people coming in who are fleeing persecution! but lets not talk about all those poms who overstay illegally and come under false pretenses.

Figures obtained by The Advertiser from the Immigration Department and under the Freedom of Information Act show plane arrivals from the United States (5080) and Britain (3610) are near the top of the list of those in the country without a valid visa.
goddamn theres 3 times as many brits coming in illegally as people who try to make false claims on aslyum!
