Currently, asylum seekers who arrive in Australia by boat are denied immigration status. If they are genuine refugees they are resettled in Papua New Guinea and if they are not genuine refugees they are sent back to their originating country or a safe third country other than Australia. This issue is currently the highest ranked "most important" issue of the election. Learn more
Target practice for the RAN
Only families who are not Sunni Islam followers and who come from countries where we have no embassy. We should process our own refugees in a special isolated community (not fenced) but those to be processed must wear a id tracking band and stay in the refugee town. Anyone removing the band before being accepted will face instant deportation. Refugees must be processed within a 1 year time frame. Must have a mental, health, and attitude assessment before being accepted. Those with negative/violent points of views of Australia and its citicens (both male and female)must not be accepted.
These queue jumpers have to be taught a lesson, come by boat and you never ever are accepted as an immigrant
No, instead of turning back the boats - we should be escorting people back to the point of departure, and ensure that we do so in accordance with international law. Offshore processing is the only humane alternative to prevent enticing people to make the perilous journey. For those afraid of terrorists- they should know that the overwhelming majority of fanatics are from wealthy middle & upper classes, and who come by plane.
Yes, they need to enter into a 6 year program of 2 years of counselling culture/language education, 1 year of training into a job and 3 years working for community services like work for the dole. Give back to the community if they are not working.
Yes, if they provide relevent identity documents.
This is an extremely complex question
Neither disagree or agree
Yes if they pay taxes
tougher measures need to be included with boats arriving due to the locating they’re arriving from. doesn’t matter where they’re processed just need to be more strict. less harsh conditions too
No, automatically deport them.
Only accept as many as we can welcome and ensure they are acceptable people
Take them in but investigate them and if anythings comes up send them back where they came from.
We should accept asylum-seeking boat immigrants but should try and keep them away from big cities until we know who they are, their history etc.
Yes, but to monitored on a strict schedule. Humans deserve to be treated like humans. The schedule in my opinion should include home visits and community contribution updates.
Yes but they must go through test's
Still not educated enough to give an answer.
yes but issue them temporary visas for a year or 2
Have extensive background checks but treat them humanely.
yes, but perform extensive security checks with constant supervision
if they check records
Under strict checking, yes but if they commit a crime then they should go back.
Yes but there should be a limit
Check every thing about them, like a airport
Only allow the who will benefit the country and economy
Yes, they should be treated the same as those arriving by air, however, should be made to follow conventional naval immigration processes such as arriving at a port
Yes - if they meet the requirements to be in Australia and have come here legally, with the intent to positively contribute to our country. They should not sap resources or have benefits more than Australians.
They should be held in captivity and go through thorough background checks before they can be considered to become refugees. But otherwise no.
Yes, and should asylum be granted they should go through a psychological recovery program.
They should be wary but still accepted
yes, but a background check is necessary before entering the country
Yes, But proceed with security screenings and background checks on all citizens
Ensure that our own country is looked after first and ensure background checks on those entering Australia.
Yes, process them onshore but put more effort into stopping them in the first place through better use of intelligence. Put them to work on farms or in other in demand labour roles.
To an extent. If they can provide the documentation then yes. However if they are extremely vulnerable, e.g. risk of persecution etc then they should be allowed freely. Focus on children especially
We need to be able to take care of the people already here properly.
Stop boats, but drastically increase amount of legitimate refugees we take in
Yes, but have a reduced amount of asylum-seeking boat immigrants
yes but they have to eventually go back
No, but increase refugees taken through official channels
Not all of the worlds problems are ours to solve, we have other problems to worry about.
That's a stupid question
Yes, if they are willing to become culturally Australian
Only if we have somewhere decent for them to go
Yes, after being processed and checked out they should be allowed to start a new life in Australia and be supported.
