High Court Rules that refusal of refugee protection is not ASIO's job

Look, ASIO do have a a case in law problem with their decisions in this area; and or, do need some sort of quite separate official oversight; or, in camera jurisprudence?
The selected or recruited participants, could all swear an oath to fully embrace the official secrets act!
That done, I can see no viable reason that would prevent the govt of the day, from creating a body with all the coercive powers of a royal commission, and equipped with the latest lie detection, space age technology! So as to establish for once and all time, if a refugee claimant is the genuine article, or a security risk!?
[A less than meritorious foreign govt's official label proves nothing, surely?]
Or perhaps, whether a claimants true status has been quite deliberately compromised or sabotaged, by a foreign govt's security branch; or others, in order to prevent some extremely embarrassing, or critical/criminal expose, they want to avoid/prevent or cover up, at virtually all costs?
If however, such an enquiry found unreservedly, that the claimant was indeed a security risk or completely failed our mandated character test, then there ought to be no viable/logical reason, to not then repatriate, said individual immediately!
Be careful what you wish for!

In the case of the two Mohammed's stuck on Nauru alone the only case ASIO had was that they gave interviews to the media.

Those two men are now insane.

IN the case of the 8 tamil children and their parents what possible risk could they pose and when did any tamil ever pose a risk to anyone in any other country anyway?

The British courts have stopped the British government from disallowing former LTTE members status and stopped them from deporting tamils, we must too.

The whole thing is a complete nonsense because I reckon if Afghanistan and Iraq had a test about whether or not we were a security risk they would be right that we are a security risk to them in their own country.

As has now become something of an art form with advocates for ILLEGAL immigration, Marilyn behaves as if she is raising mushrooms –see here:

<<The British courts have stopped the British government from disallowing former LTTE members status and stopped them from deporting tamils, we must too>>

The truth –as told by another mushroom farmer who is more forthcoming ( BUT, only, because he is pushing the line that the British are BAD, BAD, BAD)-- is that one plane load of ILLEGALS was given (hopefully only , a temporary) injunction –see here:

“Against such a background, it is unsurprising that high court judges stopped the expulsion of around forty refused asylum seekers who were due to be removed by charter flight to Colombo on 31 May – …But despite the judicial intervention, there is no indication that the government intends to review its policy of refusing and removing the majority of Tamil asylum seekers”

Yes, indeed, let’s follow the wise example of the Brits and “ remov[e] the majority of Tamil asylum seeker”
