Don't let them throw refugee rights overboard anymore! No mandatory detention - no deportations to danger. End ASIOs refugee veto - no indefinite detention. Stop the smuggling hysteria - no crime to seek asylum, no crime to bring the boats. No offshore processing - not Malaysia, not Nauru, not anywhere. 1pm Town Hall Sunday 26 August. Refugee Action Coalition.

Have fun trying to find true refugees on the boats. Just because someone decides one day to pay big money to sneak into another country to ' get ahead' does not make them a refugee. The solution is to treat the root cause by first stopping the problem from repeating then providing solutions in the source country. Stop the boats then assist sir Lanka, Indonesia etc so people don't need to get on boats. At present we are throwing money away with no solution in sight. In fact we are growing the problem by encouraging people onto boats saying hey take the risk, we will take you in.
