The 72 Sri Lankan asylum seekers found to be refugees by Australia continue to remain in limbo on Nauru. Australia is refusing to accept them and settle them in Australia despite being legally obligated to under the Refugee Convention. It is truly appalling that the Australian government refuses to uphold it’s legal and moral reponsibilities and is now instead trying to find another country to take these 72 men. What is the point of Australia being a signatory to the refugee convention if we ignore both it’s spirit and intention?
