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.''

they are not illegal and there may well be refugees (perhaps some of them are now  Australian citizens) who came on boats seeking asylum reading these boards now.

Exactly Iza there could be.

My Cousins wife came here as a baby from Vietnam on a boat and is now a dinkydi aussie and proud to be, her parents worked hard started a business and have done well.

Hmmm I might send her a link to this thread.

Yeah, I wish that someone would explain how they are illegal. I don't understand that part. It is not illegal to seek assylum in Australia even if arriving by boat.

This pic has no relevance to that comment, I just found a few pics to share to give people some things to think about.

I'm not sure if any of the figures are charictures of political figures - if they are I haven't posted it for that - just a general comment.

If the people arriving by boat are seeking assylum, then I don't understand why they are classified as illegal. I do wish that someone would explain that.

Australia is seen by these illegals as a soft touch. The sugar is on the table - easy welfare / money / health care.

Australia should not be the dumping ground.

Look at the UK, now the borders are going down - and the borders will further go down next year. The UK has changed and not for the better.

and the problems in other countries in Europe targeted by illegals.

All part of the One world Govt ultimate plan - and no it is not conspiracy theory - well documented - bring down the borders and mix the populations - this ensures loss of national identity and makes the process easier.

has to be a step by step process - which it is - the EU is now in the process of removing a country's insignia on birth certificates and replacing it with an EU one.
As I said, step by step.

If it was not for the migrants from so many different countries Australia would be very boring place with tiny seriously inbred population.

People were always on the move, not as fast as now, but people always looked for better place.  Now we have planes and so we move faster.  Cultures are mixing, of-course they are, whole world  now watches TV with programs made in USA and other countries.  That is progress, some of it is good, some not; MacDonalds' are in just about every country is definitely on the down side.
