What is important is that,whatever government is in power, their first duty is to keep illegal immigrants out of Australia. The previous government did make some headway, after leaving it too long; it's now up to the current government to come to its senses and either replicate the previous measures, or ensure that they provide the resources to turn all illegal boats back to their countries of origin.
All this waffle about 'humane' treatment of illegal arrivals, especially when we take in proven refugees in the way intended, is well past its use by date and serves only to highten the muddle-headed attitudes of Left wing crackpots.
