New Asylumseeker solution takes effect
“People who come by boat now have no prospect of being resettled in Australia. The rules have changed. If you come by boat you will never permanently live in Australia.

“That the promise of living and working in Australia, which is sold by people smugglers before they push people onto the high seas, is no longer a product available.” Rights groups have criticised the state of facilities at Australia’s camp on Manus Island in PNG, which will be signi?cantly expanded, with the United Nations last week saying it was “troubled” by the decision to
send asylum-seekers there. The UNHCR highlighted “signi?cant shortcomings” in the legal framework for receiving and processing asylum-seekers. “These include a lack of national capacity and expertise in processing, and poor physical conditions within open-ended, mandatory and arbitrary detention settings,” it said.
