khur: Australia is signatory to the UN Conventions of the Rights of the Child (UNCROC) and Article 30 stipulates that all children will have the ‘Right to practice own religion and culture for Indigenous and minority children’.

Crap!

Article 30 States, as below;

Article 30
Transfer of Assets
1. A Contracting State shall, in conformity with its laws and regulations, permit refugees to transfer assets which they have brought into its territory, to another country where they have been admitted for the purposes of resettlement.
2. A Contracting State shall give sympathetic consideration to the application of refugees for permission to transfer assets wherever they may be and which are necessary for their resettlement in another country to which they have been admitted.

However, Article 4 states;

Article 4
Religion
The Contracting States shall accord to refugees within their territories treatment at least as favourable as that accorded to their nationals with respect to freedom to practice their religion and freedom as regards the religious education of their children.

We definitely should send all "refugee" children back to where they came from, to prevent us mistreating them.

That would of course necessitate sending their parents back with them, a bloody good idea actually, as it appears we don't do enough, well enough for them, or this activist.

For my vote. I suggest that all the unaccompanied children be abandoned, as their parents have sent them on an unseaworthy boat to Australia the parents should be declared unfit parents & the children removed from their guardianship.

The parents that have accompanied their children on unseaworthy boats to Australia should be charged under Australian Law with Dangerous Endangerment of a Minor, as they have committed a serious offence against Australian Law they can be refused entry to Australia & returned to another safe place that will have them. The children should be removed from their care & be considered abandoned.

The children should then be raised as Christians in a Government Orphanage.

UNCHR
Article 32
expulsion
1. The Contracting States shall not expel a refugee lawfully in their territory
save on grounds of national security or public order.

Note "Public Order"

UNCHR Hand Book. (Explanation of UNCHR Convention & Protocol.
CHAPTER IV – EXCLUSION CLAUSES

154. A refugee committing a serious crime in the country of refuge is subject to due process of law in that country. In extreme cases, Article 33 paragraph 2 of the Convention permits a refugee's expulsion or return to his former home country if, having been convicted by a final judgement of a “particularly serious” common crime, he constitutes a danger to the community of his country of refuge.

Jayb - Problem is with 154 there are so many appeal processes at taxpayer expense but the worst are the Tribunals, there have been a number of cases very violent and career criminals have had deportation orders by the tribunal.

The appeal process needs to be trimmed down.

At the moment the whole system needs a good review to bring it up to present day rather than 60 yo full of loopholes.

If parents are stupid enough to send unaccompanied minors on leaky boats they don't deserve to have children.

CORRECTED

ayb - Problem is with 154 there are so many appeal processes at taxpayer expense but the worst are the Tribunals, there have been a number of cases very violent and career criminals have had deportation orders reversed by the tribunal.

Phil S: there have been a number of cases very violent and career criminals have had deportation orders reversed by the tribunal.

I agree. There needs to be a serious look into how this Tribunal works. It looks like someone is being paid off doesn't it..
