So many people in Australia complain about asylum seekers, and act like they're just coming here because they've heard it's a great country - like it's some trivial decision to leave their homeland where they imagined they'd live forever, where, if they're lucky their family still lives. It must be so devastating to feel like you just can't live in your home country anymore. Then people say they're just trying to rort the system and slow up the processing by not bringing identification papers and passports - most people probably don't even have a passport. As for John Howard, this decision is clearly politically minded - it's election year and he likes to follow the polls - lots of Australians are angry about immigration so he finds a situation where he can take advantage of that and garner public support.
