Hold up a bank and rob it of thousands, and you go to jail. Rob the workers of the non-unionised 7-Eleven chain of hundreds of thousands and no one goes to jail. Double standard, the millionaires walk free.

Paul,
I am not aware of any offer you made to Indy and that does not concern me. As far as your story about a couple of Ugandan attempted invaders are concerned, Their personal presence is not enough, they have no assets or skills to offer and we do not simply need more people.

So no I would deport them. As for the mother crying for her children, that is common for millions of mothers around the world.

Paul1405,
Bank robbers don't employ people & pay their Super, millionaire business people do !
You really should be made to have to actually work for a living, it'd change your mentality in no time !

Paul, what's your non-unionised rant have to do with this topic, Refugee Week Australia?
Is there a connection?
If so what is it?
It's amasing that in a free market economy we are forced, by law, on what to pay people, yet we have no 'law' that tells us how much profit we are allowed to make.
If you're going to regulate wages, then why stop there? why not regulate the selling prices as well, because I can't justify numbers like the banks profiting to the tune of $1 Billion a month, BILLION!
What makes it complete madness is, 'what do they produce or manufacture to justify all the profit'?
NOTHING!
And where does it all go?
Instead of whinging about what a small business owner is doing just trying to stay afloat, how about you change your focus on to the banks where you just might gather some followers that will then help bolster your cause?

Human Rights Watch tells us that Australia
is breaking international laws in its
treatment of asylum seekers:

http://www.hrw.org/world-report/2019/country-chapters.australia

In the Report produced by the Kaldor Centre at the University
of NSW -

We're told that "Australia should comply with
its international legal obligations because
it played a key role in drafting the
international treaties that now protect people
fleeing persecution and other forms of serious
harm."

It's pointed out that "These agreements reinforce,
rather then undermine Australia's sovereignty,
providing the framework within which governments can
manage their borders yet still co-operate on matters
of common concern."

It appears that - "Australia's obligations under
international law apply wherever it acts - including where
it intercepts boats carrying asylum seekers at sea or
exercises control over refugees held offshore in
Nauru, Manus, and PNG."

We're told that "Australia cannot "contract out"of its
obligations by sending people to other countries. To be
effective Australia's international legal obligations
should be incorporated into domestic law, and
accountability mechanisms should be put in place to ensure
compliance."

The report stresses that "revitalising our commitment in
practice will deliver Australia renewed authority as a
leader in human rights and provide a stronger foundation
for real and effective international co-operation on
refugee status, which can't be resolved unilaterally."
