The remaining refugees on Nauru and Manus Island need to be resettled. Activists arguing for the government to abandon offshore processing and safe turnbacks, however, are badly out of step with the importance of border protection and maintaining the integrity of official immigration and refugee programs that are settling people in dire need in large numbers in Australia. Our orderly system, however, is the envy of much of the world, especially European countries. Any return to the chaos that brought about 1200 deaths at sea, in which 800 people-smugglers’ vessels brought more than 50,000 asylum-seekers Australia’s way, would be untenable.
