High Court scuttles Malaysia swap deal

Posted 1 minute ago

The High Court has ruled against the Federal Government's refugee swap deal with Malaysia, throwing into doubt the future of the scheme.

The deal was put on hold following a challenge from two asylum seekers who were scheduled to be among the first to be transferred to Malaysia from Christmas Island.

Lawyers for the pair argued Australia could be in breach of its international obligations because it could not guarantee the rights of those sent to Malaysia, a view the High Court has sided with.

Apparently the agreement says Australia must take the 4000 asylum-seekers from Malaysia even if we send none in return, has to be biggest joke of a government ever lol. Better find another item to tax Gillard, help pay for all this.
 
Amazing. If you said you wanted to deliberately make a mess of this issue I doubt you could have done as well as this government.
 
Hi.
In the last couple of weeks I noticed on the news tape on TV, that a juvenile boat smuggler was released by Australian authorities. Be interesting to see if the Australian 14 year old problems will now be solved.
