Deterrence will take time: Bowen

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 16 Oktober 2012 | 16.41

IMMIGRATION Minister Chris Bowen admits there are a few challenges to overcome before the federal government's offshore processing regime deters asylum seekers from arriving by boat.

New laws to implement processing of asylum seekers on Nauru and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea have failed to stop people arriving by boat.

Mr Bowen said there were "a few challenges" including countering the spin by people smugglers, who tell asylum seekers they won't be sent to Nauru and that Australia won't implement its policies.

"We need to show by the experience of this policy that they're wrong," he told ABC television.

"We need to make crystal clear our policy of no advantage by arriving by boat, by implementing it and showing our resolve ... and that will take some time."

New Human Rights Commission president Gillian Triggs told a Senate committee on Tuesday the policy of "no advantage" had no legal meaning at the moment.

Mr Bowen said the government would assess the no advantage principle on a case by case basis depending on the circumstances.
