PUNISHING BOAT PEOPLE CONCERNS ACSJC

The ACSJC has called for a fair go for so called illegal boat people, saying that government authorities should penalise 'people smugglers', and not their victims.
   Together with the Australian Catholic Migrant and Refugee Office, we issued a position paper on 6 March that calls for an expanded humanitarian program to provide more places within Australia's immigration program for those who are forced to flee desperate situations.
