Australian Politics Forum - Why are Labor so tough on refugees?

May 24^th, 2022 at 8:03pm The lefties are appalled by this when Liberals do it, where's the outrage? A boatload of asylum seekers intercepted by Australian Border Force near Christmas Island on election day has now been returned to Sri Lanka. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-24/labor-turns-back-election-day-asylum-seek...

Reply #2 - May 24^th, 2022 at 8:10pm How many years have we discussed this issue, and still we have people who don't understand the difference between an asylum seeker and a refugee. I've read the article in the OP twice, and nowhere does it mention refugees. So, why is the thread title "Why are Labor so tough on refugees?"

Well done. No, I'm wondering why the left isn't outraged by Albo flicking them so fast.

Well done.

No, I'm wondering why the left isn't outraged by Albo flicking them so fast.

Flicking asylum seekers who have been determined to not be refugees?

"The commander of Operation Sovereign Borders, Rear Admiral Justin Jones, said a thorough screening of each individual's health and protection status was completed before the group was taken back."

Why would anyone be ourtaged by that?

They were thoroughly screened and deemed to not have a legitimate claim for protection.

So the question remains unanswered: where are Labor being tough on refugees?

It is an improvement over illegals.

They would have all had a tale of what makes them a bonafide refuge, real or made up. Albo didn't give them enough time for their stories to be checked out.

So where is the outrage?
