There Is An Ethical Way To Stop The Boats And Prevent Deaths At Sea
While hoping that the Pacific Solution Mark II – with the unworkable, unethical “no advantage” rule – will in fact stop the boats in the short term, despite the Abbott static, we need to build greater trust and co-operation with the Indonesians so that those asylum seekers, other than Sri Lankans, determined to get on a boat to Australia can be processed in Indonesia. If that works, we might then look to a one-off co-operative solution for the Sri Lankans much closer to home. http://www.abc.net.au/
