Australia by boat? NO ADVANTAGE
The first group of irregular maritime arrivals
arrived safely in Nauru on September 14 after being transferred from
Christmas Island. The transfer follows passage of legislation through
the Parliament to allow regional processing of people who arrive by boat
after August 13 and the designation of Nauru as a regional processing
country. The introduction of regional processing in Nauru and Papua New
Guinea was a recommendation of the Expert Panel on Asylum Seekers’
report. This sends a strong message of deterrence to anyone considering
using a people smuggler to make a dangerous journey by sea to Australia. Australia by boat? No advantage.
