Overall of the view that none of the variants that I can think of are practical nor am I keen on the likely extra power that laws to enable such a move would place in the hands of government. Some things could be done such removing any migrants who demonstrate a lack of willingness to obey our laws (or who incite others against Australia), beyond that what can be done that does not place all of us at risk.
Brutal measures might seem justified when targeted at some group that seems to be a threat, governments have a history of not giving up those options when they get them and of expanding their reach.
For a little food for thought have a read up on JSOC and how it's operating under Obama (and who some of the critcs are). It appears to be operating as a publicly funded kill squad answering only to the US president in contravention of international law.
The man who needed to close Guantanamo Bay regularly orders extra judicial executions of people outside the US without any trial or independent oversight. Many of the objective might be valid but I'm not all that keen on a global kill operating in secret as a means to making me safer.
