government's policy - although not enshrined in law - is that anyone sent to an offshore processing centre will never be resettled in Australia, even if they are recognised as a refugeewould be blocked - by law - from returning, or seeking British citizenship in future

The measures had "restored integrity to Australia's borders", said Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton in 2015 - but at a price. Best estimates put the cost at A$1bn a year. There's also theImage source,"And then there's a cost on the heart and soul of Australia," says Dr Huynh.

Immigrant stopping immigrants.
What is has highlighted is that irregular migration is an International problem? Economic as well as fleeing refugees. More should be done by international cooperation to cancel out the causes at the source.

A country built on the genocide of the indigenous population. Not exactly a role model to follow.
First Germany now Australia.
Laughable that a country built on immigrants arriving on boats from Great Britain, whilst virtually wiping out the indigenous population in the process, should then export their methods on how to stop other migrants on boats arriving, back to the country they originated from. 🤯
'Right wing Liberal' ? The BBC really does think literally anybody who wants to control immigration into their country is 'right wing'. They're not , they are sensible and in line with mainstream views despite what the diversity obsessed Guardian readers at the BBC think 🤣👍
Well done to Australia. This is what good governance looks like.
