yeah liek all 1000 people out of 20000 in the total refugee system.
Because everyone who flies to Indonesia and then pays thousands to a smuggler is a bona fide refugee.
There is a difference between a genuine asylum seeker and someone who doesn't like living in a shithole.
you realize stopping the boats means even if they are foudn to be GENUINE refugees they won't be resettled in aus right?
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.
Rudd is being a dick though, he has no mandate from the country or the party to be doing any of this, or anything else really.
