Refugee Policy

The John Howard Government has just hit a dead end. The Senators are most likely not going to let the bill on refugee status be passed. The current policy is that would be refugees are not allowed to come ashore and the new policy will see these people to be assessed offshore.

I think this is because genuine refugees deserve to be dealt with humane treatment. The Liberal Government would like boat people to return back to their own country which I think is insane.
Australian's need to count their blessings and have compassion for people who may need our country to give them a go. To find a safe place to live and feel that their lives are not in danger. And that we can help them believe that they do have a future life ahead of them. Together we are one. We owe it to ourselves and our future generations to care about others as well as our environment.
