With Christmas Island bursting at the seams the Government had no choice but to say stop, that is enough. The six month delay in processing of boat people from Afghanistan and Sri Lanka will make potential boat people think again. Unfortunately, those already here are worrying about being processed, but the Government has said it will do checks on those soon. "Genocide" is being used in relation to Tamils. Using words like that will only make the situation worse. Tamils have not been killed indiscriminately.
ASIO has become involved with processing. It has placed some people on a "danger" list of possible activists. If they are militants they will be sent home. ASIO must be allowed to do its job. That is what is was created for.
Tamils were not put into "concentration" camps. In fact, people wanted to stay in the camps. They were forced to leave. Tamils have arrived here believing what people traffickers had told them - that it would be easy. They are surprised when they are not given access to Australia. Obviously, there will be disappointment.
With the UN report on refugees showing Australia was the only country to have an increase in refugees, the Government had to do something. With the door now closed to Australia, albeit temporarily, maybe some will choose to go home.
