The bill will allow Howard-style mandatory detention for groups of refugees, as well as empowering the Minister to prevent their claims from being processed. Its a clear breach of the Refugee Convention, which will make us an international pariah. If you don't want that to happen (and if you don't like the government scaremongering on non-existent "boat-people"), then please submit against it.
