An immigration campaign from the Australian government has been blasted on Twitter [AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT]
Alongside is a picture of a
boat presumably transporting asylum seekers, a symbol showing a cross
through the map of Australia and the words 'no way' in capitals.
Human rights activists have criticised the campaign as being 'distasteful' and 'embarrassing' to Australia.
Sophie
Rigney tweeted: "Awful. New immigration site entitled 'No way. They
will not make Australia home' … Australia, this is our government."
Ngaire
Watson posted: "Aust Dept Immigration has posted this slogan on their
website. It's a bleak day now racism and bigotry rule Australia".
User Matt Darvas wrote: "Is this the #Australia we want our kids to look back and see?"
The
website page also said that people who travel to Australia without a
visa will be transported for "processing" in Nauru or Papua New Guinea.Last year an 18 page cartoon was published targeted at asylum seekers [AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT]
Human
rights advocate Jarrod McKenna told the Sydney Morning Herald that the
latest immigration campaign from the Australian government was
"horrific".
He said: "Instead of saying 'no way' we must provide
'safe ways' for people to seek asylum without risking their lives or
being imprisoned for trying. Compassion must make a way."
Late
last year the Australian immigration department also released an 18 page
cartoon which warned asylum seekers of coming to the country.
It showed an Afghan man being attacked by mosquitoes in a detention camp and was published in a variety of languages.

Well done! No more invaders. If only all 'homeland' nations had the balls say "no way" the world would be a better place.
