OZschwitz gulag: Perverse migration bill shreds the rule of law

If passed, The Migration and Maritime Powers Legislation Amendment (Resolving the Asylum Legacy Caseload) Bill would effectively enshrine in law the mistreatment of asylum seekers and refugees who flee to our country to escape persecution, torture and death.

The legislation is the perverse creation of a Government prepared to tear up the rule of law for its own political ends. It bestows an unprecedented level of power on the immigration minister to make life and death decisions about individual refugee cases. It creates a regime where the chance of sending people back to a situation of grave danger, or even death, is a real possibility.

It denies permanent protection to those found to be refugees, simply because of their mode of arrival to this country. Even babies born on Australian soil to parents who arrived by boat will be denied protection, rendered stateless and detained offshore until being "resettled" in squalor and risk of attack on Nauru. We should rightly ask, if the government is prepared to be so cruel and give itself this much unchecked power over refugees, who's next?

The bill narrows the definition of a refugee. This makes it easier to send more people back to harm, rather than offering them protection. This is a particularly insidious step which will render obsolete decades of legal precedent and stack the odds against refugees. For example, if it's considered that a refugee can simply "modify their behaviour" to avoid persecution or harm at home, they'll be sent back. Would you expect the inspirational Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, who fights for girls' right to education in the face of Taliban opposition, to "modify her behaviour" and simply retreat indoors?
