Australia's High Court has ruled that the government's policy of detaining asylum seekers offshore is legal. The court rejected a challenge brought by lawyers for one detainee who argued the policy was unconstitutional. The ruling means more than 250 people, including 37 babies, are likely to be deported to a detention camp on the Pacific island nation of Nauru. Anyone who tries to reach Australia by boat to claim asylum is taken to Nauru or Manus Island in Papua New Guinea. The policy has been fiercely criticised by rights groups and the UN, while Australian senators have said Nauru is not safe for children. Continues www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-35479173

Yip - the idea that playing tig with a country gives you unalienable rights is an absurdity.
That's the core problem with the current European crisis.

Agreeing with the above comments. Great result for Australia. Give a 'fair crack of the whip' to come to Australia. Apply off-shore and have your credentials checked. Enough of the BS of travelling through 10 countries, paying a people smuggler thousands, ripping your identity documents and disposing of them in the ocean and claiming to be a refugee. What you guys may not know is thousands choose a different route, they play the long game. Come to New Zealand, apply and obtain citizenship then emigrate to Australia. Last time I looked, Australia was, based on our population taking about the world's average number of refugee's per Australia. According to Wiki, the world average is 463 'natives per refugee' Australia is 683 'natives per refugee' New Zealand is 3284 'natives per refugee'. But, as mentioned above ... NZ is the backdoor of Oz. Move to Australia if you a NZ'er ... no visa required
