I was under the impression that if an application wasn't successful then they were supposed to be deported.
According to the article they are giving them fair notice to make arrangements of their own. Those that can't be deported due to" diplomatic or legal reasons but the government would not be deterred and put the failed asylum seekers in detention."
what's the alternative?
I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm just trying to understand.
They applied, the answer was "no", some after appeals and enquiries.
If we're just going to let them stay anyway, why the need to apply in the first place?
I think if wartime conditions or persecution still apply in the country of origin it would be illegal to deport them back. In that case, if those whose applications were rejected were living in the community on welfare, they would be put in detention.
