Australia's new regulations prohibit some boat people from entering Australia in any visa form.

The Australian federal government plans to pass a new law in early June (5438+065438+ 10), permanently prohibiting boat people who illegally break into the Australian border by boat from entering Australia after mid-June (20 13). Federal Immigration Minister Darden said that this bill does not violate the UN Refugee Convention. According to News No.9, according to the bill, these boat people will not be able to enter Australia in any form of visas, including tourist visas and business visas. Under the new regulations, even if they are recognized as refugees, they cannot enter Australia. The new regulations will apply to all adults who have been sent to overseas detention centers in Nauru and Manus Island since July 2065438 19.

195 1 Article 3 1 of the United Nations Convention on the Status of Refugees (also known as the Geneva Convention) stipulates that signatory countries shall not punish refugees for their illegal entry or residence, which should also apply to refugees directly from areas where their lives are in danger.

Darden said that the bill did not violate the international obligations stipulated by the United Nations, and the government obtained clear information from the provisions of the United Nations. He told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that the bill had been tested. ? We have confidence in the constitutionality of this bill, which is in line with our international obligations. ?

The bill can be traced back to the former Rudd government.

On Monday, Prime Minister Turnbull said: This is a struggle between the Australian people and human smuggling criminal groups. The seriousness of these threats should not be underestimated. ?

He said that these changes, which will be incorporated into long-term legal policies, can be traced back to the former Rudd government. At that time, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced? Asylum seekers who enter Australia by boat without a visa can never settle in Australia? .

The government said, spread abroad? A clear message of never giving in? This is very important for maintaining Australia's border policy.

? In Australia and other places, supporters are still sending messages to asylum seekers in detention centers in Nauru and Manus Island, making them think that they can enter Australia one day. Darden said,? These people hold unrealistic hopes, and this situation cannot continue. ?

But refugee supporters question the necessity of this legal reform because the government insists that the Australian border is under control.

The government sought the support of the Labour Party.

The government is urging the Labour Party to support this reform because it is consistent with Rudd's position. However, the deputy leader of the opposition party, Priposek, said it was too early to decide whether the Labour Party would support the reform. She believes that the government should now concentrate on finding acceptable countries for people in detention centers in Nauru and manus.

Green Party immigration affairs McKinley accused the government of punishing asylum seekers and called on the Labour Party to resolutely oppose this bill.

Independent Senator Sanofin has supported the government's immigration policy, and he wants to know the details of the bill. He said:? I need to see the details of this bill. On the one hand, it is difficult to stop human smuggling, on the other hand, it is unnecessarily cruel. ?

Children in overseas detention centers are not affected.

Darden said that this change will not affect people (including children) under the age of 18 who are sent to overseas detention centers. At the same time, according to the Act, the Minister of Immigration has discretion. That is, if necessary, the Minister of Immigration can intervene to decide whether asylum seekers can stay in Australia. Darden said:? We will treat family members differently. ?

Dutton is negotiating with some third countries to resettle asylum seekers from Nauru and manus, but he would not give details.
