Coalition to Deny Asylum Seekers Government Help to Navigate Migration Process

[icyfroth]

A Coalition government will harshen its stance against asylum seekers even further, denying those who arrive by boat the right to free government advice and help with lodging appeals.

The Coalition's scrapping of taxpayer-funded assistance for asylum seekers, to be announced on Saturday by opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison, will save the budget about $100 million over the next four years.

Even under the harsh border protection policies of former prime minister John Howard, such protections existed for asylum seekers, but Mr Morrison said they had gotten ''out of hand'' with the ''deluge of boats'' under Labor.

An Abbott government would not prevent refugee advocates from giving free legal advice to asylum seekers, but taxpayers would no longer be paying for it, Mr Morrison said.

''This level of support is not provided to those who currently legally arrive in Australia,'' Mr Morrison said. ''They have to pay for it themselves.''

The 'boawts' are not the main problem to be addressed.

Do you find it unfair to deny free legal aid to a person who has entered the country unlawfully and in most cases without any form of identifying documentation?

I can see where you're coming from, Poddy - it's a brilliant concept:.

Turn Australian Law on its head and declare these people  guilty until proven innocent,

Then deny them free  legal aid making it impossible for them  to prove their innocence.

Hey presto, problem solved - we can kick them all  out and send them back to where they came from.

Nah, Mr Abbott is a Catholic, isn't he?

He could use this as his campaign slogan.

"Nuke 'em all. Let God sort it out."

I wonder if that would be classified as Capital Punishment.......

So, are you saying that because you don't believe it to be possible that no one should even try?

Just give up, chuck in the towel and wipe their hands of the whole shebang?

Thankfully, not everyone gives up when something seems a bit hard. It's a shame though that those that have no real solutions of their own, have the audacity to criticize those people that at least try, eh?

If we had the money and the resources, I hope that any leader of our country would provide safe transport over here and accommodate every person in need of assylum. Unfortunately, we don't have that level of money or resources available to us, so I guess our leaders just need to be creative and work towards creating the most ideal solution that they can for the greatest amount of people, eh?

You'd think it was the main problem, judging by the number of people focusing on it.

In every speech that I have heard, border security was not  the first  topic he addressed.
