REGUGEES TO AUSTRALIA

There is a debate in Australian political circles on the future of the refugees on Nauru and Manus Island.  

The Government view id that if the refugees are allowed  to come to Australia, the boat people will start all over again with many drowning en route to PNG. 

The alternative is to send them to a locked back door arrangement with New Zealand or United States.

But surely this is just shifting the problem to another country, particularly New Zealand. The refugee boats will head for New Zealand not Australia.

The problem may be addressed with a greater surveillance of the seas by the RAN to intercept refugee boats. Perhaps satellite surveillance could continue to be employed.

Are school classes made available to refugee children? That would be too kind and give the impression that the refugees are welcome. 

The kids have undoubtedly been sitting around the refugee camps for years doing nothing. Many would cry for their mothers.

How does the Government think that refugees could follow correct procedure in seeking to come to Australia? So many have escaped from their homeland with their lives.
