i am so fucking sick of the term “illegal asylum seekers” because there is NO SUCH THING. it is NOT illegal to seek asylum. in fact, it is a human right and australia is signed onto the UN convention that states that it is LEGAL to seek asylum, no matter which mode of transportation you take. there is no australian law against asylum seekers. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ILLEGAL ASYLUM SEEKERS
