Bollocks. The majority, in not all, coming on boats have no IDs because they destroy them the minute they leave Indonesian shores (not before, mind, because if the Indonesians catch them without papers they deport them pronto).

If they were genuine, they wouldn't destroy the IDs. It's a colossal rort.

MASSIVE numbers of initially rejected refugees are winning appeals to stay in Australia.

THE United Nations' top human rights official has congratulated the Federal Government on its new approach to asylum seekers.

..Appeals by about three quarters of boat arrivals whose initial asylum claims were deemed to be non-genuine succeeded in the past year.

The rate of overturned appeals was 46 per cent in 2009-10, says a new Immigration Department report.

Asylum seekers whose initial claims are rejected are able to appeal to tribunals and independent experts appointed by the Federal Government.

While only 38 per cent of Afghan boat arrivals were initially judged to be refugees in 2010-11, almost 80 per cent of those rejected won visas on appeal.

Similarly, only a quarter of Iranian arrivals were at first accepted by immigration officers, but 78 per cent of those who missed out were given visas on review, said the Asylum Trends Australia 2010-11 report.

Monash University associate researcher Adrienne Millbank said yesterday bodies such as the Refugee Review Tribunal seemed to had an in-built bias towards overturning decisions.

"The tribunals have got to prove their usefulness and their merits and their worth by overturning a lot of the original decisions, otherwise what's the point of them," she said.

Ms Millbank said there was a lot of inconsistency in the process and decisions were very subjective. "It's a bit of a game," she said.

Australia is part of the Commonwealth.
Great Britain and Australia share the same head of state.

I don't think its unreasonable to wonder why the bugger she has to wait behind people who, lets be honest, we'd cross the street if we saw them in groups.

All funding for illegal immigrants should come directly from the environment budget, the corporate bottom line, sponsorship's, bonuses, salaries and taxation of generous superannuation funds...I am sure people like uncle meat agree.

The majority are granted genuine refugee status.

Simple fact, not bollocks.  Not sure how you can keep a straight face and say otherwise.

"Around 40 per cent of asylum seekers who arrive by plane are granted asylum, compared to 85 to 90 per cent of those who arrive by boat."

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-05-18/understanding-the-asylum-seeker-debate/271...

"Past figures show that between 70 and 97 per cent of asylum seekers arriving by boat at different times have been found to be refugees and granted protection either in Australia or in another country."

Yep. 

Indeed they do, but not becasue they ARE genuine, but because leftwad bureaucrats are quite happy to sell the country down the river to justify their jobs.

I understand working in your own self interest, but perhaps these wads need to think 2 steps ahead, before it's too late.
