Since the Coalition took power few asylum seeker boats have made it to Australian territory.Since July 2013 no person who arrives by boat is allowed to lodge a protection visa, and more than 3,000 people have been sent to offshore detention in Nauru and Manus Island.But the government’s data revealed that 167 applications were lodged by people who arrived “lawfully through a seaport, such as on a cruise ship, container ship or yacht” between 1 July 2014 and 19 August 2019.The immigration minister, David Coleman, told Guardian Australia less than 0.25% of people who arrived “lawfully” in Australia applied for protection and most were refused.“The arrival of people on boats under Labor directly disadvantaged people who would otherwise have found support in Australia under our humanitarian program,” he said.On Tuesday afternoon Coleman labelled Labor’s attack a “spectacular own goal” because Labor had granted 31% more protection visas to air arrivals in its final three years of government than the Coalition in its last three years.He also criticised the opposition party for seeking an “extraordinary” increase to the refugee intake.Asked if he was suggesting the granting of protection visas to refugees was a negative, Coleman said the existing humanitarian program was generous and questioned why Labor wanted to increase it.“People can apply but the question is what happens when they apply, and are they given those visas or not?”Coleman said about 25,000 people were being processed or were appealing the rejection of their claims, and those who were not were “required to leave”.However, Coleman repeatedly failed to answer how many people in Australia were supposed to leave but couldn’t be found, and repeatedly failed to answer why there might be more people seeking asylum in Australia after arriving by air.The government’s processing of asylum applications at airports has been questioned after revelations Migration experts expressed concern that the lack of data meant there was no way to scrutinise if Australian Border Force was assessing people properly.More than 4,000 people who flew to Australia sought asylum in the first seven weeks of this financial year, a rate which would suggest a record high if the trajectory continues.More than 4,000 people who flew to Australia sought asylum in the first seven weeks of this financial year, a rate which would suggest a record high if the trajectory continues.
