may 11, 2006 - Migration Amendment (Designated Unauthorised Arrivals) Bill 2006
Description:
An attempt to expand the Pacific Solution. The Bill stated that all asylum seekers who arrived without authorisation by boat were to be processed ‘offshore’ in places like Nauru or Christmas Island. The amendments would result in asylum seekers undergoing an inferior assessment process, with those found to be refugees having no automatic right to refugee protection in Australia.Added to timeline:
