现在澳洲海军如果再拦截到非法入境的船怎么办？
澳洲人权运动支持者Julian Burnside大律师说：他还说政府将必须按照最高法院的判决让所有寻求庇护的船民在澳洲本土按照正常程序审批。他们不能被转到第三国等候审批。
在最高法院判决下来之前政府准备将大约有300名寻求庇护者从圣诞岛转到马来西亚，但是现在无法确定到底是把他们继续关押还是审批他们的避难申请。
一个移民局官员说截止8月25日澳洲一共有5238人申请避难，其中811人被关押在圣诞岛。
圣诞岛原来只能关押400人，但是被扩建到能够容纳1116人。
处理难民申请的程序
坐船来
Burnside先生说那些已经被关押在圣诞岛和以后新来的寻求庇护者将不能直接申请庇护，他们会要通过一个对他们是难民的可能性的评估。如果通过这个评估他们才能申请庇护签证。这个过程可以耗费2-3年。现在圣诞岛上有些人已经在那里待了超过2年。
那些被确认为难民的人还要再等ASIO（澳洲的中情局）调查他们背景，确认他们对澳洲国家安全没有危害。这个程序最多可能耗费一年多时间。
最后他们会拿到永久保护保护签证（也就是永居）可以回到社区生活。在所有船民中有90%左右的人最终被确认为难民。
这些船民经常要支付最高达15000美元给蛇头。
坐飞机来
坐飞机来的申请庇护者的待遇就好很多了。
他们都有护照和签证。通常是以商务、旅游或是学生签证来的。但是有时候这些证件可能是假的。假证件有时候要2000美元或更多才能搞定。他们通常是从伊朗、津巴布韦和缅甸来的。
他们入境以后就申请庇护。当他们入境时用的签证过期以后他们能拿到一个过桥签证，直到他们的难民申请被批或是被拒。这个过程要几年时间。期间他们可以在澳洲的社区里生活，但是不能工作。这些庇护申请者们只有20%左右被确认为真的难民而拿到庇护签证。但是这些人的数目是乘船来的人数2-3倍。
Burnside大律师还说如果让庇护申请者们住在社区里而不是关押起来可以为政府省掉至少5亿开销，而且更人道。
Processing asylum seekers: how it works
http://www.smh.com.au/national/p ... 20110901-1jnj6.html
What happens now if more people smugglers' boats are intercepted by the navy?
New asylum seekers arriving by boat following yesterday's High Court's ruling will have to be processed normally within Australia, human rights advocate Julian Burnside, QC, said.
He said the government had "no option but to process their claims for asylum in the ordinary way", as they could not be transferred to another country at this time.
Before the High Court ruling yesterday, about 330 asylum seekers were to be transferred from Christmas Island to Malaysia in exchange for 4000 refugees resettled in Australia - but, with the plan in tatters, it was not clear whether the government would continue to hold them at the detention centre or process them.
There were 5238 asylum seekers in detention in Australia, with 811 on Christmas Island, as of August 25, an immigration spokesman said.
The island detention centre - which has a capacity of 400 adults - was expanded to accommodate 1116 people.
How the process works
By boat
Mr Burnside said those detained on Christmas Island and any new arrivals were not allowed to apply for asylum until they were assessed as being likely refugees.
A recommendation would then be made to the Immigration Minister to allow them to apply for a protection visa.
"That whole process can take up to two or three years. There are people on Christmas Island now who have been there for more than two years," he said.
The accepted refugees then wait, sometimes for one year or more, for a security clearance from ASIO.
At the end of the process, they are released into the community with a permanent protection visa. About 90 per cent of asylum seekers who arrive by boat are deemed genuine refugees, Mr Burnside said.
The asylum seekers who arrive by boat often pay up to $US15,000 ($14,000) to travel from their country of origin to Australia, Kon Karapanagiotidis of the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre said.
By plane
For asylum seekers who arrive by plane, the process is markedly different.
They have passports and a visa, usually a tourist, business or student visa, although some of the documentation would be fake.
The fake documents often cost up to $US2000, and occasionally more, Mr Karapanagiotidis said. These asylum seekers frequently came from Iran, Zimbabwe and Burma.
When they enter Australia, they apply for a protection visa, Mr Burnside said.
When their initial visa (the tourist, business or student visa) runs out in three to six months, they are given a bridging visa until their protection visa is either granted or not.
This process also takes a few years, but the asylum seekers are allowed to stay in the community, although they are barred from working.
About 20 per cent of these applicants are deemed genuine refugees and their numbers are about two to three times those who arrive by boat, Mr Burnside said.
He added that processing asylum seekers within Australia, rather than via mandatory detention, would help the federal government "save at least half a billion dollars" and was more humane. |
