$200,000
a week spent for asylum fares to and from Christmas Island
ALMOST $200,000 a week is being spent on
charter flights to ferry
asylum seekers and federal staff to and from Christmas Island to ease
pressure on the overcrowded off-shore detention centre.
New figures on the cost of the Government's border protection policy
reveal it has been forced to double the number of charter flights on
and off the island this year, to an average of one every five days.
The cost of the aircraft has also more than trebled in just 10 months
to $8.2 million, or $134,000 a flight. And it is forecast to keep
rising, with the Government admitting it will cost an extra $8.1
million next year.
According to the latest figures - detailing the cost of flying asylum
seekers from the island to 12 locations on the mainland, including
Sydney - in the 10 months to April 30, 62 aircraft were chartered to
carry 6500 people to and from Christmas Island.
In the 2008-09 financial year 32 charter flights carrying 2500 people
to and from the island cost $2.7 million - an average of $84,000 a
flight.
But the latest figures do not include the recent transfer of 30 Sri
Lankan, Afghani and Iranian family groups - 86 asylum seekers in total
- from the island to the former mining camp in Leonora, in Western
Australia. See full story HERE

Gillard to dump 1500 male asylum
seekers on Northam!
As a generous people we are more
than
happy to continue to help persecuted individuals or groups in their own
countries, or in the next nearest neighbouring country. But be flooded
with Asylum seekers in our own country – never!
Julia Gillard has no mandate
whatsoever
to place 1500 asylum seekers in the Northam Military camp, or anywhere
else in Western Australia for that matter. The fact that the camp is
Commonwealth territory is irrelevant. That camp, like every other
square meter of this nation, belongs to the people. The
Commonwealth is the servant of the people, not its master. We refuse to
accept these so-called asylum seekers.
