Imprison the Captains and make them pay for the accommodation, processing and deportation of non genuine refugees. That way they do not bring illegals. Australia last year spent $6,000,000,000 on processing and accommodation of these people.

Josephus,

Excuse me - is that figure 6 trillion?

(These threads just get more hilarious)

Pray tell, how do you suggest those captains are going to "pay" for the accommodation, processing and deportation?

Good luck with that one...

90.5 percent of claims are found to be genuine - so you won't be sending many back.

<<90.5 percent of claims are found to be genuine - so you won't be sending many bacK>>

Under the present regime--Yes.

Then again, the present regime is known to have rubber stamped Egyptian jihadis, capt Imads and Somalis who later returned to fight for Al-Shabaab !

Poirot.
Obviously you reading of maths is poor.
1,000 = one thousand
1,000,000 = one million
1,000,000,000 = one billion
Where do you get one trillion? Only by adding another three 000, which is not there.

My point is these captains are imprisoned for the equivalent time unless they pay for the processing, accommodation and return of illegals. That way they do not bring illegal people to our shores. Bob Carr suggests that about 90% of these people are economic migrants so where do you get your figures from? They are not faced with life threatening persecution.

Right you are, Josephus

Still, you haven't explained how you're going to get those captains to pay......
