...Though the policy won't be detailed until Parliament resumes later this month, refugee law experts are far from sure he's right. What is clear is the law's broad intent: to extend the Pacific Solution - which excised dozens of Australian islands from the official migration zone so boat people landing on them could be sent to processing centers in Nauru and Papua New Guinea - to the Australian mainland. Those arriving illegally by boat will now be sent to such centers and, if found to be refugees, resettled elsewhere...
...director of Melbourne University's Research Programme in International Refugee Law, it risks undermining some of the Convention's key principles. Article 31, for example, specifies that refugees should not be penalized for illegally entering a country when fleeing directly from a place of persecution. In 2001, when most boat people reaching Australia were coming from the Middle East and South Asia via other countries, Ruddock emphasized the "need to differentiate between those directly fleeing and those making secondary movements for migration reasons."

...Navy fought really hard,” varsity seven-seat Andrew Boston said. “They were pushing really hard. Navy kids are just tough as balls. They don’t give up.” But at 400 meters down, the Harvard varsity took the two-boat battle it had waged with Navy and made it a one-boat show for the rest of the course. A strong move to end the first 500 meters gave the Crimson the Navy bow ball and later an open-water lead at 750 meters down, an advantage Harvard would only...
