THE Australian Government has failed the asylum seekers who have been deported back to their homeland to face torture and murder.
The Edmund Rice Centre’s revelations that as many as nine former boat people who sought asylum in Australia had been killed after they were deported back home, cast shame on Australia’s policy towards asylum seekers.
It reinforces the view that the current policy flies in the face of our humanitarian responsibility and that any attempts to introduce harsher measures should be blocked.
