The current Labour Government is continuing with its policy of trying to intimidate asylum seekers arriving by boat. They hope that if reports of terrible conditions for asylum seekers who arrive in Australia filter back to others who have not yet embarked on the dangerous journey they will go elsewhere.
Not content with imprisoning people for years in detention centres in the deserts or in other countries, the Australian Labour Party is establishing its own people trade by shipping asylum seekers to Malaysia, a country noted for its routine mistreatment of refugees and its unwillingness to sign the UNHCR refugee convention.
Protest against the continued human rights violations against asylum seekers in Australia.
