Have any unauthorized boats carrying people with the intent to seek asylum in Australia arrived in the past few weeks?

Who is in favour of allowing the current unlawful entry into Australia, by boat or any other means?
Stand up and be counted 🙂
i'm for allowing asylum seekers in, its legal to seek asylum just as its legal for morrison to twist the language.
is it illegal to arrive by unauthorized boat?
also, if everyone was ok with the boats coming, why were they so critical of Mr Abbott when the boats were getting here?
To me this all looks like a political point scoring opportunity to me, rather than a genuine concern for the asylum seekers.

The government isn't processing at all when they put them on a new raft to send them back
I don't agree with that, I have never said I did.
I can however see the reasoning.
We are still processing, just not those particular people.
It's a tricky situation, for any government.
But I do think that asylum seekers need to follow the processes that we put in place. We cannot help everyone who is in need of asylum, so we have to make a choice.
stopping now to prevent a scroller.

Hopefully they'll deport abbott soon. After all, as an immigrant, he's broken the law and breached the lnp's own code of conduct for immigrants numerous times. Plus, I don't like him.
so we voted Mr Rudd in, then before his term was done we voted for him to leave and for Ms Gillard to take over?
Hiow has Mr Abbott broken the law?

That would be fine I suppose, they could wait in Africa for 500 years I suppose, do you know their life span? Or they could risk their lives and get here sooner, either way they are going to die.
Abbott is heartless and gutless, he is dealing with real peoples lives here.

See my post above Crikey with links to the legal precedents set. WE are breaking the law by refusing asylum seeker status
checks/application pre towback or removal to parent country.
The high court ruling was emphatic regarding that fact.
