Australia’s Papua New Guinea Response to the Boat People Crisis – Legal and Constitutional Perspectives
This morning I visited Mark Robinson SC at his chambers on an unrelated matter. Whilst we were talking, he showed me a fascinating paper he had written called "Australia’s Papua New Guinea Response to the Boat People Crisis – Legal and Constitutional Perspectives".
Mark Robinson SC presented the following paper to the ANZAPPL National Conference 20 November 2014.
The paper speaks on an epic constitutional challenge in the High Court of Australia that was argued and determined this year concerning the constitutional validity of Australia’s handling of the “boat people” refugees.
It is recommended reading for all RMAs and lawyers who have an interest in refugee law:

Friday, 05 December 2014I read his paper, but it is sad to see that the author has very little regard or respect for our HIGH COURT or its DECISION, and he ends by saying that Australia may not be the best place to live any further???.
Why does not some of these disgruntled elements understand that the majority opinion is always not what pleases them.
Just because you do not see too many people vocalising against the massive IMAs, it does not mean that they actually support the IMAs.

Thanks Liana for sharing this. As Mark said in his article: when both Parliament and the High Court are singing in the same tune, it might be time to find another place to live.
Cheers
