However, if you went home and returned to the scene with a weapon and killed the person who assaulted you......It's almost a foregone                                             conclusion, you'd probably be charged with murder.

They have escaped from their own country and are now in a country where they are not being hounded for their political or religious beliefs............ They're home,  they are refugees living in Indonesia.

They destroy all their papers, pay big money to jump on a boat and come to the 'lucky country AUSTRALIA' without any papers; upon arrival in Australia they receive all sorts of handouts from the government and if the paint in the refugee camps not the right colour, they can get some smart lawyer (on legal aid) to sue the government on their behalf because the colour is effecting their eyesight.

No one is persecuting them for their religion, no one is persecuting them for their political beliefs; they are safe; why would they want to run away from a country that practices their beliefs?  Why would they want to go to a country that practices Christian beliefs when they don't want to have anything  to do with it?

They also chose to break Indonesia's                                             immigration laws by not filling departure forms in (you and I have to).  I'd like to know why, upon arrival in Australia, are those 'so-called-refugees' not charged with being 'ILLEGAL Immigrants and  thrown on the first available flight out of the country.  Remember they 'were' refugees whilst they were in Indonesia, they then chose to get rid of their papers; they chose to leave the country that had given them shelter; they chose to pay someone to transport them to Australia; they chose to get on a boat.
