Y, they are not refugees, they are illegal arrivals.

Emp, we had a working system until Kevin 07 came to town. That's all that really matters.

Zero debt, money in the bank and if I recall, 2 or 3 in detention. Not hundreds, not thousands, just a few.

So for anyone to suggest governments are at fault for keeping them in detention, they would not have been there if not for the Kevin 07 experiment whereby people, for some unknown reason just decided it was time for a change.

Well that change has cost us our future, like it or not.

Dear Rehctub,

«Y, they are not refugees, they are illegal arrivals.»

The only reason they are considered illegal is because Australia declared them as such.

Instead, why not declare them "chicken"? At least chicken today are treated better, with the number of caged eggs dropping for the first time below 50%: http://www.weeklytimesnow.com.au/agribusiness/caged-egg-sales-dropping-australian-egg-corporation-annual-report/news-story/2d494ebf39ab43f596d75f8ecfd558ba

so yuyutsu you arrive undocumented with no visa on a unapproved illegal country to country transit and you are not an illegal alien.

rehctub, "..we had a working system until Kevin 07 came to town"

Yes and the video evidence for those who now display very short memories and would re-write history,

Dear Pilot,

«you arrive undocumented with no visa on a unapproved illegal country to country transit and you are not an illegal alien.»

You are still you, always, regardless what others call you and whether they approve of you or otherwise.

But even animals (say seals), when they swim in (undocumented) are treated better than those humans!
