Asylum seeker issue has been a mess throughout the years, and I also find it very complex for a foreigner like me to apprehend the whole thing. Julia Gillard's government proposed to swap Asylum seekers from all around the place to be put in Malaysia. But their so-called border protection policy is deemed as unlawful after the court has heard a challenge to the controversial policy brought by refugee lawyers on behalf of two asylum seekers. Since Malaysian is not a part of the UN's refugee agreement, as mentioned by Australian National University international law expert Donald Rothwell, he believes that this is the likely key factor that the court decided not to pass the deal. I believe for the people who are seeking refuge from Australia are obviously looking for protection from war, poverty and so on. I don't understand why the government led by Gillard has to impel this kind of senseless deal in order to bounce back the issue of this country. It just doesn't make sense!
As rebels are now taking over the lead, Libya's opposition has issued a deadline for cities that are still being held by Gadhafi's loyalists to surrender, or they will take military measures against them. Meanwhile Algerian government confirmed it had provided a safe haven for the fallen dictator's wife, Safia, his daughter, Aisha, sons Hannibal and Mohammed and their children. That triggered the National Transitional Council's anger and they described Algeria's action to shelter Gadhafi's family members as 'an act of aggression', and they vowed to take down whoever supports Gadhafi. The story continues.
