Asylum Seekers Policy Debate #2

I have just read two media releases by Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young. It looks like I'm not the only one who thinks that asylum seeks should be treated with a bit more dignity (and no, I'm not a member of the Greens or any other political party for that matter). Onshore processing of these applications would be a good place to start.

You can view the senator's press releases here:

  1. 17 April 2009; and
  2. 18 April 2009.
POST SCRIPT

Since my post of this afternoon I have also discovered (and read) Kerry Murphy's article in the social justice magazine Eureka Street. Once again I support the views expressed there.
