Are we a sovereign nation or are we a colony of the UN? Do we allow a bunch of utterly corrupt third world looters & moochers to rule over us while we’re paying for their ridiculous lifestyle on the high hog?
Australia gets deadline to stop rejecting refugees
Manus Island: UN committee puts 12-month deadline on Australia to change its refugee policy
The UN Human Rights committee has given Australia one year to change its policies to stop rejecting refugees and change its migration laws to come into line with international standards.
The committee, which comprises 18 independent experts and monitors countries’ compliance with a global human rights treaty, says Australia should report back after 12 months to explain what action it has taken to meet its concerns.
Australia has been widely criticised by the United Nations and rights groups for detaining asylum seekers who try to reach its shores by boat, even if they are found to be refugees, and keeping them on offshore processing centres in Nauru and Papua New Guinea.
The offshore detention policies are backed by the coalition government and the Labor opposition.
The United Nations has warned of a “looming humanitarian crisis” in the Manus Island centre in Papua New Guinea.
It was closed on October 31, but 580 asylum seekers have refused to leave, fearing violent reprisals from islanders if they move to transit centres, pending possible resettlement to the United States.
GetUp! Human Rights Campaign Director Shen Narayanasamy, who has just returned from the centre, told ABC this morning the conditions would likely lead to the deaths of asylum seekers soon.
“They’re in very poor health,” she said.
“We saw a man with epilepsy who needs regular medication and medication ran out five days ago. But in addition to that … the showers and toilets are blocked, there’s no waste, people aren’t eating, it’s truly a terrifying situation and somebody is going to die there very soon.”
She said the men were expecting violence tomorrow when PNG authorities arrived to remove them from the facility.
The UN committee says Australia should significantly cut the period of initial mandatory detention and limit detention overall, and ensure that children are not detained except as a measure of last resort and for the shortest time possible.
“The State party should also address the conditions of detention in immigration facilities, provide adequate mental healthcare, refrain from applying force or physical restraints against migrants and ensure that all allegations of use of force against them are promptly investigated,” it said.
Australia’s 1958 Migration Act allows removal of an unlawful non-citizen regardless of the risk of returning them to a country where they may face death or persecution, the committee said, ignoring the principle of not sending refugees back to danger, known as “non-refoulement”.
It urged Australia to ensure the principle was secured in law and adhered to.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has been contacted for comment.
Mr Dutton earlier told 2GB radio he stood by the detention policy that the government says is necessary to deter asylum seekers from attempting perilous sea voyages to Australia, and that it would not back down from its evictions from Manus.
The committee was concerned about conditions in Manus Island and in Nauru, citing serious safety concerns and instances of assault, sexual abuse, self-harm and suspicious deaths.
Australia should also consider closing the Christmas Island detention centre, which was too remote to ensure protection of people held there, it said.

The UNHR is an arab (islam) block controlled organisation charged with assisting islam with complete domination of the earth !!!
Very important Australia’s 1958 Migration Act be retained and implemented by Australia …
Refute any/all agreements with the UN …

The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth.
Hence the pressing need to have islam reclassified …

islam
To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives: Islam is a political movement with religious aspects. It is described as such by its own doctrine. To clarify this definition: a political entity (for example, the Australian Government), is one which seeks to impose its laws on a society. These laws are enforced through violence, or threat of violence (by the police or armed forces).
This is the definition of the term “Political.” Religions have rules which apply only to their followers. These rules are enforced by threats or rewards from a supernatural entity,
usually in the afterlife and followers are free to leave. This is the definition of a religious movement. Islam has religious aspects such as the belief in Allah. However, Islam is mostly political. Islam’s foundational doctrine contains a legal code call
ed Sharia Law. This legal system mandates violent punishments, some of which are barbaric. Leaving Islam is a capital offence. Importantly, Sharia Law also applies to non
-Muslims
Muslims are obliged to carry out violent Islamic legal rulings whenever possible (as with the Salman Rushdie and Charlie Hebdo affairs). Islam encourages Muslims to conquer and hold territory which is also a political action. The Australian Government faces constitutional difficulties protecting its citizens from Islamic political violence due to the classification of Islam as a religion. Islam currently holds the status of “Religion”
under the Australian Standard Classification of Religious
Groups (ASCRG). We call on the Australian Bureau of Statistics to undertake a reclassification of 1266.0 to no longer classify Islam as a religion. from 11206 citizens
“United Nations”. It may be the world’s best known oxymoron, followed closely by UNHCR. The sooner the sane and civilised world pulls out of the UN the better. The problem with that is that the sane and civilised world is fast disappearing. And exactly what will the UNHCR do if Australia holds its ground? And what will the UNHCR do to help those nations cursed with the burden of so-called refugees? I suspect the answer is the same – nothing. Australia, get sensible. Ditch the UN. Ditch all of its conventions. We are intelligent enough and decent enough to make our own rules and enforce them for the good of this nation.
On a recent AL Jizz discussion , an Australian Amnesty international female stated that NZ had offered to take 250 Manus island guys per year. Where did she get this from? If this org. wants to be taken seriously , it should stop making shit up. The new NZ Prime minister has said NZ will take 150 of these codgers. Very few in NZ want them. We back the Aussie govts’s stance that it would give hope to traffickers.
