Quoting "Tim Josling" <tim.josling@gmail.com>
As Melissa Parke from the Greens pointed out in her speech, we make it difficult for refugees to come here by airplane. According to the same Ms Parke, the Greens' policy is to increase the quota and to accept every refugee who arrives here by boat. Impediments to arriving by air would apparently be retained (not stated, but implied). As we saw when the ALP liberalized policy, this would result in a massive increase in arrivals by boat.
Melissa Parkes is from the Labor Party, MP for Fremantle, not for the Greens. Regards Peter
