3. Asylum seekers’ fate hangs in the balance
A group of 153 asylum seekers could be detained at sea for weeks, the ABC reports.
The Tamil asylum seekers are being held on an Australian Customs vessel while the High Court decides whether it will determine their fate.
In a High Court hearing yesterday, lawyers acting for some of the asylum seekers sought to challenge the legality of the Commonwealth’s actions, the ABC reports. The Federal government agreed in the hearing not to return the asylum seekers to Sri Lanka without giving three days’ notice.

Safety first. At school, workplace, while driving your car, safety must be a priority. As a parent, I find it very hard to secure the safety of my children. I am a father of two lovely daughters. Both go to high school. I can't be with them every single time. Me and my wife go to work everyday. It's hard to be certain about their whereabouts and situation. Good thing I discovered this amazing application installed on my childrens phones. It has a panic button that my children will press in case of an emergency. As simple as that it will automatically be connected to a 24/7 Response center and if needed, your call can be escalated to the nearest 911 Station. Me, along with my wife and close friends as my children's safety network, will be notified also through text message or a conference call. I worry less. This can help you too.

I am amazed at the efforts people go to , to are about people who have not even come to Australia yet. Imagine if those same people placed their energy into helping aboriginals or people in poverty here. And sorry but an asylum seeker killing someone whom he does not like in my local shopping centre really pisses me off. What is the greens comment on that? Another one slipped through the stringent checks?
How do you know the person whom stabbed another person in the shopping centre was an asylum seeker?
Most asylum seeker don't stab people at the shops! But weekly we have regular Australia's killing their girlfriends, wives and kids. Did you miss the story about the guy who stabbed his 3 year old??
Blake I understand your frustration. We have so many already on our own shores that need help and assistance...where are the do-gooders then? I say no more immigration in general, no more foreign aid....lets fix our own streets. Let's look after our homeless youth and support Aboriginal rights!! I can't see how bringing in more immigrants can be beneficial when we have so many issues of our own already. Just doesn't seem right.
What have you done to contribute to improve the situation of our Indigenous population and those living in poverty? What policies have the Government proposed to improve the situation?
