IF we were to take away the complete access to the appeal system, i.e. not having access to the law as Australian Citizens do (I don't even know if that would be legal, so just a hypothesis), do you think that Aust citizens would oppose such a move if it meant faster processing for those in detention?
OK, as I realize that you can't speak on behalf of all Citizens, would you oppose such a proposal?
In my mind, it seems like a good thing if you look at the big picture. In theory, it would shorten length of stay and reduce costs allowing us to process more people.
I can see a downside in the "one shot and you're out" scenario, that being that some may be unfairly refused.
But does the sheer number of people that we process (regardless of how they arrive) outweigh this? It does mean dehumanizing and looking at numbers - but in this manner, we could help so many more.
Maybe if the length of processing wasn't so long, it would decrease those desparate enough to risk their lives on the boats.
But there must be a reason why a government hasn't done this already, anybody know?
Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.
