Immigration

1. A person whose application for asylum in or recognition as a refugee by a country of which he or she is not a citizen is pending, and who claims to fear persecution if returned home.
2. Due to the fear of being persecuted because of their:

• race
• religion
• nationality
• membership of a particular social group
• political opinion.

The term ‘asylum seekers’ refers to all people who apply for refugee protection, whether or not they are officially determined to be refugees.

3. Some asylum seekers spend long periods of time in immigration detention waiting for their refugee claim to be assessed; waiting for the completion of health, identity and security checks; or awaiting removal from Australia if their refugee claim has been unsuccessful.

4. Afghanistan, Iraq, Myanmar, Sudan, and the Palestinian Territories.

1. An asylum seeker swap deal between Australia and Malaysia, Australia will send 800 asylum seekers in exchange for 4000 genuine refugees.    

2. That they will be treated with dignity and respect and have Human Rights protected and also Australia will be coving all the costs for health and education for the refugees.have employment opportunities and be allowed to join the community for a short time to have health and identity checks. 

3. In Malaysia they are routinely rounded up and put into detention centres on work sites and would sometimes be caned and be open to physical abuse. 

4. Yes children will be sent

5. That the 567 asylum seekers who have arrived in the 11 weeks since this deal has been put into place will now be processed in Australia, the government had said that they would not be processed in Australia but has now had to accept that it will. 

6. that there is no way that the government right safe guards for the asylum seekers and that there could be a possible court challenge to all this.

7. for boat arrivals to slow down and halt.

8. As Scott Morrison said, Gillard is unable to guarantee the safe and well being of the asylum seekers as she isn't even able to protect her own people. I don't believe that this will work because there simply isn't the right amount of facts to support the issue. Unless Australia send Human Rights activists into Malaysia to ensure that the well being of those who are sent there are intact.
