Explainer: the legality of turning or towing back asylum boats

The Coalition promises it will “turn back” asylum seeker boats in Australian waters where it is safe to do so if it wins the next election. With Australian border patrols said to be at “breaking point” with the numbers of boat arrivals, the asylum debate has reached a heightened pitch in intensity…

The Australia-Papua New Guinea Refugee Resettlement Agreement

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has just announced a unique agreement with the government of Papua New Guinea (PNG) in which boat people interdicted on the high seas headed for Australia to seek asylum will instead be shunted to processing camps in PNG. If determined to be legitimate refugees, they will be resettled there, instead of Australia. Already the hue-and-cry against Rudd’s policy has begun by immigrant advocacy groups in Australia.

Migranti, l’accordo tra Canberra e Port Moresby. L’indignazione della Chiesa : ’L’isola di Manus come Lampedusa’

–-> l’Eglise dénonce l’accord entre Australie et Papou Nouvelle Guinée

L’isola di Manus sarà luogo di accoglienza temporanea per tutti i richiedenti asilo in Australia, che poi li smisterà tra le isole. La Chiesa condanna l’accordo raggiunto tra Australia e Papua Nuova Guinea. P. McDonough, della Congregazione dei Passionisti, lancia un appello alle Conferenze episcopali dei rispettivi Paesi: “Richiamate i governi a quel senso di giustizia sul quale sono fondate le nostre società e le nostre nazioni”.

Australia’s ’stop the boats’ policy is cynical and lawless

U.N. ‘Troubled’ by Australia’s New Policy on Asylum Seekers

SYDNEY, Australia — The United Nations said Friday that it was “troubled” by Australia’s new policy to stem the tide of people undertaking dangerous boat journeys to seek asylum there, the latest in a series of public criticisms of the government’s tough new deterrence-based approach.

First transfer to Manus Island under the Regional Settlement Arrangement

The first group of 40 people have arrived in Manus Island, Papua New Guinea, on August 1, formally bringing into effect the Regional Settlement Arrangement agreed on July 19. 
Refugee claims from the single adult men, who were transferred from Christmas Island, will be assessed under PNG law and, if found to be refugees, the men will be settled in PNG.
This demonstrates that if you come to Australia by boat without a visa, you will not be settled here.
Transfers to the Manus Island Regional Processing Centre will continue regularly.

En Australie, les premiers demandeurs d’asile renvoyés

L’Australie a renvoyé, jeudi 1er août, ses premiers demandeurs d’asile en vertu de la nouvelle loi sur l’immigration qui prévoit la fermeture des frontières aux migrants clandestins. Quarante demandeurs, en majorité des hommes afghans et iraniens, ont été envoyés par avion de l’île de Christmas Island, sous escorte policière et avec une assistance médicale, vers la Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée.

Les #boat_people, sur l’autel des élections

L’annonce, le 19 juillet, d’un durcissement sans précédent de la politique d’asile australienne continue de susciter un flot de critiques. Désormais, quiconque arrivant par mer sans visa ne pourra plus s’y installer comme réfugié. Ces demandeurs d’asile seront déportés dans des centres en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée et ceux qui seront reconnus comme réfugiés pourront s’établir dans ce pays, mais pas en Australie. En échange, celle-ci financera la rénovation des routes et des universités de sa voisine mélanésienne.

Dream of a new life lay dashed on Manus Island

First the people smugglers separated husband and wife. Now the PNG solution has made it final.

More than 3000 kilometres of ocean lies between Gita* in Brisbane and husband Behrad* on Manus Island.

Behrad had been among boat people who landed on Christmas Island 13 days ago – four months behind his wife and two days after the Rudd government’s July 19 cutoff for asylum seekers hoping to settle in Australia. On Friday morning the 36-year-old arrived at the detention centre on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea, the country he may have to call home for the rest of his life. The Iranian couple have little to no prospect of being reunited.

In response to the multi million dollar Federal Government ad campaign aimed at frightening middle class Australians, a group of tax-paying, voting (middle class) Australians installed 3m posters on Sydney’s busiest street. The very low budget ad campaign aims to tell a different story and point out the hypocrisy, and mean-spirited asylum seeker policy.

You came here by boat without visa, you settled in Australia

Why Australia hates asylum seekers:

It is a few days after Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced his “PNG solution” to his latest political crisis, whereby no asylum seeker arriving by boat will be settled in Australia. My friend and colleague Karapanagiotidis, the founder and CEO of the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC), shows a rare moment of doubt and confusion. But it doesn’t last long before he’s thumping the table, remarshalling his forces.

Citation :

But bringing up the colonial past can also normalise or nativise settler colonisation, and erase Indigenous subjectivity and sovereignty in slogans like ‘we are all boat people’. A focus on the moment of invasion or on the colonial past positions colonisation as history. It makes colonialisation a done deal, to which the only sensible responses are regret and apology, or pride and forgetfulness – but Australia has a colonial present. The border is not a natural or inevitable thing and neither is colonisation.
Understanding colonisation as an ongoing and always incomplete process suggests a future that’s open to change. It shifts the onus of explanation to those who want to create and maintain borders rather than those who want to question them. It challenges the myth that refugees are a breach in an otherwise secure border. And it reaches through to a space where white Australia is and can only ever be a fiction that is made material through violence.
