National Secretary Paddy Crumlin: Immigration Minister Scott - TopicsExpress



          

National Secretary Paddy Crumlin: Immigration Minister Scott Morrison has failed to grasp that these laws and conventions exist to save lives at sea, to protect fragile marine environments, and to ensure proper standards in shipping. Time and time again, MUA members have been proud to be in the front line of search and rescue including for asylum seekers fleeing desperate circumstances, and to bring them to a safe port and landing. But this bill undermines maritime workers’ ability to offer that helping hand by removing a layer of accountability in a dangerous, unpredictable industry. Moreover, it allows Australian ships to secretly take people to any part of the world, and exempts them from any other law in the process.
