FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
But the bill is unlikely to succeed with the conservative opposition and the
Australian Greens vowing to block it, sparking scathing criticism from the
media.
“Paralysis in Parliament,” the Sydney Morning Herald said in a
front-page headline.
“The Australian parliament is failing us. It is putting politicking
ahead of human life,” it said.
The Australian newspaper said in an editorial that the expected Senate failure
would lead to more inaction.
“Around the nation there will be much stunned silence,” it said.
Miss Gillard’s fragile Labor coalition government supports the private
member’s bill from independent MP Rob Oakeshott which is attempting to
revive a deal clinched last year to send 800 boat people to Malaysia.
In exchange, Canberra would take 4,000 of that country’s refugees.
The government was unable to pass the required legislation through parliament
without the support of the opposition, amid concerns Malaysia was not a
signatory to UN refugee conventions.
The Oakeshott bill, seen as a compromise, would allow an immigration minister
to designate any nation as an “offshore assessment country” if it
was party to the Bali Process – a framework for dealing with asylum-seekers
involving more than 40 countries.
As a sweetener, Miss Gillard offered to reopen a detention centre on the
Pacific island of Nauru if the opposition agreed to vote for the bill, which
would allow processing in Malaysia
But opposition leader Tony Abbott, who supports processing on Nauru and
turning boats back when possible, said he would never back the Malaysia
option.
The Greens are opposed to any offshore processing.
