CANBERRA, KOMPAS.com- In an attempt to stop the arrival of new asylum seekers, Australia's Parliament Thursday (16/8/2012), the night passed legislation asylum seekers, by opening a new facility for processing asylum seekers outside Australia, which is on the island of Manus (Papua New Guinea) and Nauru.
The proposals put forward the Labour Government was supported by opposition parties, the Liberal Party, although in a discussion in the House of Councillors, the Green Party Senator trying to give additional articles, but the proposal was rejected. After the proposal of the expert team, chaired the former Commander in Chief of the armed forces Houston to open the facility Angus outside Australia is Monday, more than 200 asylum seekers have arrived in Australia. They will now be sent to Nauru.
The team of experts proposed a hard policy so that indeed those who arrive in Australia will not benefit to be processed more quickly than those who ask for asylum elsewhere. According to a report in the Australia correspondent Compass, l. Literature Wijaya, the Green Party, which from the outset reject such policy, denounced the new LAW because it limits how long did not give the asylum seekers will be detained in Nauru.
The Green Party also alleged that Australia violates international human rights obligations. Green Party Senator, Sarah Hanson-Young said, currently at Christmas Island there are 10 children who are still minors, which would probably be transferred to Nauru and they would not get legal protection from the new LAW.
"Under the Pacific solution Julia Gillard was asked, they get less protection than ACT ever made by the Government of John Howard." said Hanson-Young. But Government spokesman in the House of Councillors, Kate Lundy maintains the Government's position by saying, this ACT will save many souls, because preventing asylum seekers travel dangerous at sea.
Kate Lundy also said give special treatment for children, will make the penyeludup the human sent many children without their parents. The Labour Government does seem to be trying hard to overcome the problem of asylum seekers, because politically these issues affect their popularity.
Because there is no effective policy, in the last eight months, more than 7,000 asylum seekers had arrived in Australia, most traveled from Indonesia. Now with this new LAW, the Government led by Prime Minister Julia Gillard wished issue asylum seekers no longer making headlines in the media-political media Australia.
