Fed: Beazley says new asyslum laws send wrong message
KIM BEAZLEY says the government's decision to introduce tough new asylum laws .. tells
other countries Australia will change its policies under pressure.
The opposition leader says the move shows the world the prime minister can be pushed around.
Immigration Minister AMANDA VANSTONE has announced a new hardline policy that will
see asylum seekers who arrive in the country sent offshore for processing.
Even if they are found to be refugees .. they'll be kept offshore until they can be
sent to another country.
It follows weeks of Indonesian anger over Australia's decision to grant protection
visas to 42 Papuan refugees.
