A Most Immoral Act ...delivered the Immigration Minister extraordinary powers that in effect obliterate any further pretence that Australia regards asylum seekers as human beings....But the bill goes much further, freeing Australia from any obligations associated with the Refugee Convention, including giving Morrison and his department ... the power to return people to torture and persecution without judicial review. Crikey. ...Morrison is now effectively above the High Court and our conformity to the International Convention on Refugees has been written out of our law. The bill in all probability is the most immoral ever passed by an Australian Parliament... John Lord, the AIMN, December 7, 2014
