The new Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has sworn and 3 days later, a first boat has come to Australia shore. Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said:” I want to confirm for you today that Australia, we believe, has received the first vessel, the first people smuggling venture in over 1,400 days”.
The boat reached the estuary of far north Queensland’s Daintree River. According to the report of local fisherman, the asylum seekers abandoned their boat and hiding in the area. The local fisherman found the strangers and informed the government. Obviously, there is 17 asylum seeker on the board, but the police just detained 15 people and two still missing including the captain, mostly they come from Vietnam.
The boat is good condition, the trip prepared carefully and well organized (1). In the passage of time, the boat from Vietnam occurred on July 1st, 2003, a boat named Hào Kiệt came to Australia shore at Port Hedland. There were 53 boat people and a Vietnamese-Australia citizen names Hoa Nguyen (Nguyễn Hòa) who considered as the organizer. The Hào Kiệt boat raised broadly media into the public, actually, the Vietnamese Community’s staff totally supported and activated Australian government to grant the residential status, nevertheless, SBS radio, Vietnamese language program founded by General Director Quang Luu (Lưu Tường Quang) totally endorsed by the appeal to help. SBS radio invited Mr. Hoa Nguyen’s wife on air, she asked the people help.
53 Vietnamese asylum seekers of Hào Kiệt’s boat claimed they resisted the Vietcong government by the leaflet and they must escape, if not the life to be endangered. Therefore, they didn’t have a leaflet to prove.
Mr. Hoa Nguyen was the main person of the Hào Kiệt’s boat, he was detained in Western Australia’s prison camp (2). After 53 boat people became the residents, they returned to Vietnam safely, not any punishment or the life’s threat. Nevertheless, Mr. Hoa Nguyen lied about his record, he claimed the resistant opponent and he faced the death sentence, but Vietcong reduced to life behind the bar, he broke the jail and came to Australia. However, he returned safe to Vietnam and organized 53 people came to Australia all succeeded the residential status (3). Did the Vietcong embassy ignore?
Hào Kiệt’s boat still obsesses the Vietnamese refugee and the Australian government, mostly, the political refugees have never returned to where they escaped for freedom bid. So the new boat coming that warns the Australian government about the refugee and asylum seeker. They are the same status but different circumstances, so the UN and Western countries made a critical mistake, an even Vietnamese refugee, annually, there are about 800,000 Vietnamese refugees returned safe to Vietnam, even some did the good business, purchased the properties, actually, the false refugees, financial agents, and offshore workers fetch more than $USD 20 billion for Vietcong regime every year . Nowadays, the human rights turn human wrong when the asylum seeker, a terrorist could exploit to infiltrate, actually, the people smuggling syndicates make the profit from the taxpayers./.
