Refugees?
It should be remembered that those who attempt to enter Australia by sea from Indonesia are no longer seeking asylum. They already have asylum in Indonesia. They are coming to Australia for a better standard of living and better prospects for their family. I don't necessarily blame them for that, but by taking that next step they forfeit their refugee status and become illegal immigrants.
Having said that, the manner in which the camps are managed is deplorable, inhumane and inexcusable. The offshore camps are arguably an unfortunate necessity, but there needs to be a thorough overhaul in the way they are run.
