Laws mooted allow refugees to be beaten to death
Jul 28^th, 2015 at 9:09pm

The evolution of Australians fascism continues. Now laws are being mooted to prevent the prosecution of Australian official who beat refugees to death. So far, no Australian official has been prosecuted for any offence on Manus.

Quote:

An inquiry by the Australian Supreme Court has proposed new powers to officers at immigration centers, granting them right to resort to violence, should they find it necessary, according to a former Victoria supreme court judge.

Following a Senate hearing of an amendment to the new migration bill Stephen Charles SC, who was the Victoria court of appeal judge until 2006, told the Guardian on Thursday that it would “inevitably encourage violence by guards against asylum seekers” by considerably expand their powers.

The new powers, applying to immigration officers, would let them use “reasonable force against any person” to maintain order and security, which in fact could lead to “beating asylum seekers to death.” The immunity from civil and criminal liability will include private contractors – people, who are less trained than police officers.

“Time and again police in the United States have been acquitted in circumstances such as these,” Charles said. “These amendments to the Migration Act will in effect authorize guards to beat asylum seekers to death on the basis they reasonably believe it is necessary … to do so.”

Australia keeps its asylum seekers at the Nauru refugee detention center, and human rights violations including rape and physical abuse have been going on since November 2013. Reports of harsh conditions at the center, consisting of two fenced-off tent camps with up to 1,200 detainees, have been recently passed to the Australian government.

Legal action against human rights violators in immigration centers could only be possible if it is proven that a guard was “in bad faith,” which is quite difficult to demonstrate.

Not in the slightest.

This guy is potentially very, very dangerous.

I just hope that he's stopped before he causes irreparable damage.

Why do you support criminal governments like his?

I am sure you can keep this silliness up all night. Might be a more productive use of your time, if, instead of trying to verbal people who laugh at your outlandish comparisons you read a history of the 20th century with special attention to Hitler.

Or continue swooning hysterically and making silly assertions. Your dime. Grin

Are you stating that anyone in Australia can put the boots into a refugee with impunity?

Are you a Nazi?
