AND TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Kevin,
as a CONSTITUTIONALIST my issue with any legal issue is the constitutional validity
of any action by the government, and likewise by the parliament. If it ain’t constitutionally
permissible then no matter the purpose it must be abandoned because the moment we allow the
15 constitution to be defied we have lost the plot and permit terrorism and dictatorship, as there will
always be those who find excuses to disregard constitutional limitations.
.
In my view the Federal Government has at hand to avoid this ongoing refugee problem but so far
failed to take appropriate action and as result is incurring a reported $80,000.00 plus cost per
20 refugee that could be better used for the sick, the elderly, etc. Before setting out the solution to
this, as I did in the past lets I now direct myself to articles such as some of the following;

25 Govt gets tough with asylum seekers
The federal government has toughened its policy on asylum seekers by immediately
30 suspending the processing of all new refugee claims by Sri Lankans and Afghanis.
Immigration Minister Chris Evans on Friday denied the new regime meant asylum seekers
could be detained indefinitely on Christmas Island or in mainland detention centres.
"People aren't being denied their right to seek asylum but it's been suspended," he told
reporters in Canberra.
35 "It's humane because people will still have access to consideration of their refugee status.
"They will still be treated with dignity and treated as human beings."
The government says the new policy is a response to changing circumstances in Sri Lanka
and Afghanistan.
The United Nations High Commission for Refugees is presently reviewing conditions in
40 both countries and UN protection guidelines.

Rudd panics: now says boat people may be fleeing peace
Andrew Bolt – Friday, April 09, 10 (12:10 pm)
Another boat, and nearly more deaths, forces the Rudd Government to announce that these
15 poor refugees are probably not fleeing danger, after all:
All new asylum seeker claims from Sri Lanka and Afghanistan are being
suspended, as news emerges that 70 people were rescued from a sinking asylum
boat off Christmas Island early this morning.
Immigration Minister Chris Evans says the Government has decided to implement
20 the processing suspension due to “changing conditions” in both countries…
This means any new asylum seekers now arriving in Australian waters from those
two countries will not have their refugee applications processed until the
suspension is lifted.
The suspension comes as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
25 reviews the international protection guidelines for both countries.
But, but, but… weren’t they fleeing ”genocide” Wasn’t this flood of boats caused by ”new
conflicts” and overseas ”push factors”?
It seems to me from this that Immigration Minister Chris Evans is now admitting the
Government lied all along in denying its policies had lured so many thousands here in
30 boats:
The changes we’re announcing today send a strong message to people smugglers
that they cannot guarantee a visa outcome for their clients.
So it really was the guaranteed visa outcome that people smugglers were advertising that
drew so many boats here? Then why didn’t Rudd just say so a few dozen boats ago?
35 Liars and incompetents.

The Framers of the Constitution well aware that International law can often be used to override
local law decided to ensure that The Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (UK)
40 would be as such structured that International law could not interfere with Australian law but
could be used in aid of australian law.

of the rules of the common law and rules of international comity in other countries
cannot be justly applied here.

5 Mr. OCONNOR.-The right honorable member, with all respect, is begging the question.
The real question now is, not whether the people want it, but whether the power should be
given to the Commonwealth, that is to say, the whole of the Commonwealth, to enforce
the compulsory reference of disputes in one particular state.

Say, that there are so many arrivals that the United Nations finds it has not sufficient places in its
Australian compound then it can transfer people to other United Nations compound wherever
located in the world or simply have them transported to their own country of heritage.
.
5 What we therefore would achieve is that any refugee or so called refugee would upon arrival in
Australian waters, etc, immediately be transported to a United Nations compound and then the
United Nations provide all the humane services required. It would then create a worldwide
United Nations compound facilities without all the different governments trying to find solutions.
.
10 Likewise those who arrived by plane and are not accepted as lawful arrivals they too can be
transported to a United Nations compound and then the United Nations can determine what is
best to do with such a person. Perhaps an island might be a perfect way to have a United Nations
compound.
.
15 We must show concern for human rights including those who arrive hear at times with huge risk
to life and limb but on the other hand we must also guard out own security and not have others
dictating us that we must accept them.
.
Fancy a person residing, in say, England seeking a visa having to wait for approval while a
20 person from a war torn country, regardless the person himself really was not in any danger, can
force himself upon the Australian government but the Englishman cannot, yet might be better
qualified for a visa.
.
Why indeed should say a widow with children waiting in a United Nations camp for year but not
25 having monies to pay a people smuggler be yet again denied entry because others who can get
money to pay a people smuggler can jump the que? We must build a system that those registered
the longest are not robbed of the right to enter merely because they peacefully waited for their
number to come up! We must reward’s those who pursue lawful entree.
Also, to avoid clashed of culture those who desire to come to Australia must first undergo a
30 course in regard of Australian customs, etc, so that we do not get people entering who for
example have the view that honour killing is acceptable because it was done it the country they
came from. As such, remove the opportunity of them dictating any government and make
compulsory that a course in English and in Australian customs is required to be passed. We now
see too often that people are practicing their own cultural ways of conduct regardless of how it is
35 in conflict with australian law and this is a major problem to the security of Australians where
the Federal government fails to compel a proper course to be followed about Australian customs,
etc. (not something who is a cricketer!)
.
In my view the Federal government must cancel its announced rules regarding Afghans and Sri
40 Lanka’s as it fails to be constitutionally valid but should place a moratorium upon all
applications while in the meantime seek to establish a United Nations compound who the can in
principle deal with all unlawful arrivals and/or persons unlawfully being in the Commonwealth
of Australia. Politically, I view, it is the most sensible solution also because any human rights
issues then is within a United Nations compound!
