So you propose that humans be treated worse than animals?
Animals are not subjected to Australian law - so why should they?
Because they have no passports? Neither do animals.
And suppose they did keep their passports, would you then allow them to be treated at least as well as animals?
It is preposterous to expect someone who is neither Australian nor has any business with the state of Australia to obey Australian law. Nobody expects this even of animals.
Sure, if they were asking for protection or any other favours from Australia, then you may well demand that they obey your laws in return, but what if they never do? humans are also animals, so what if they simply physically arrive in their capacity as animals? surely they should not be treated worse than non-human animals who simply arrive!
In the least they should be treated according to RSPCA guidelines. If they create trouble or danger, then you may euthanase them with the least possible pain, but not otherwise. Also, Australians should be able to adopt them as pets so long as they take the usual responsibilities and precautions to ensure they cannot run out and bite.

Dear OnTheBeach,
What about pirates? they are evil, harmful and dangerous so you may do what it takes to eliminate them in self-defence. But how is this related?
If a vessel endangers your safety or is out to harm you, then you do what it takes to avert the danger. What flag they raise (if any) or whether they operate safely or otherwise, should be none of your business.
