...only to be interned once they arrive on our shores for being illegal...

John Howard himself says "We are friends to the Iraqi people, they are being dispossesed, and they are fleeing Saddam etc, etc"

(ie. Let them flee as much as they want... provided they don't come here...

The Government has no problem with people seeking poltical asylum and protection in Australia, just so long as they get everything done legally. That has been the stance of the Government since boat people became such an issue. Add to the fact, it's a very real way that terrorist can enter our country. There is a wider issue and problem regarding illegal boat people entering our country.
