Labor Has Already Turned Back 15 Sri Lankan Asylum Seekers So Much For ‘Change’

Labor Sri Lanka Australia Murugappan Nick McKim Richard Marles Refugee United States

Just one day into power, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese‘s government has turned back a Sri Lankan asylum seeker vessel. If you thought this new government’s refugee treatment would be less cruel than Scott Morrison

Labor solidified its inhumane refugee stance by confirming that yes, it didn’t hesitate to deny the right to seek asylum to a boat of Sri Lankan people despite this being a violation of human rights. Wow, a government that is proud of its lack of empathy and compassion! How different from its predecessors.
