People who advocate that 'Australia' should help refugees are also playing politics. They are making themselves look humanitarian when in actual fact all they are doing is declaring how other people's money should be spent. If they really wanted to help refugees they should do something practical rather than complain that other people aren't doing enough.

vulnerable. The problem with processing asylum claims outside the migration
zone is that the applicants have no access to judicial review of decisions
that may be made against them. Immigration officers sometimes make serious
errors, which can only be corrected if there is a court with jurisdiction to
decide the cases. The grounds for judicial review of administrative decisions
are confined to matters of law; the facts can't be directly contested in
court, and, to avoid a misconception, courts don't entertain frivolous claims.
So the result of bad policy is that claims are evaluated in circumstances in
which there is no judicial oversight of administrative decisions.
