Not really Banjo, I did hear it once suggested and it does make sense.
That is one of the advantages of the TPV as if they leave the country
they cannot reenter.

Of course all the solutions we come up with are putting the cart before the horse, to really stop the boats we'd first have to make it a criminal offence to work as a lawyer, you can tweak legislation all you want but an injunction puts a stop to any solution, humane or otherwise.
The only way to stop the pro boaties and open borders people is to deny them access to the courts.

Well the precedent has been set now we have this "Australian and Indonesian search and rescue authorities are responding to the distress call from the boat believed to be 43 nautical miles south of West Java"
How long before they call from the pier saying we are setting out you can pick us up in an hour or so.
STOP giving them the 4 star treatment TPV only then send them home no documents no entry.

Philip S,
I'm surprised australian TV hasn't got a crew on the pier there for live updates..
