"Refugees attempting to reach Australia by boat to apply for asylum were taken by Australian authorities to Nauru and other offshore camps while their asylum claims were processed. However, most of them have now been there for years, with no progress on their asylum applications"
Sounds like the Aussies are doing it right.
With a bit of luck, word should get around -- DON'T come as a "refugee" to Australia. If you try it, DON'T expect an easy pathway "in".
This is absolutely the right kind of policy, and Australia ought to tell Amnesty International to bugger off!
