"The 'people smuggling laws' currently under scrutiny by the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee are a brazen attempt to 'lock Australia's borders'.

"My submission to the inquiry is now readable and online here:

"I dare to hope you all read it - if only to see how our politicians use the excuse of Australia's ratification of the UN People Smuggling Protocol to manipulate legislation in Australia in the hope they can 'stop all the boats', and make criminals out of anyone who (even spuriously) can be painted as being connected to the arrival of any boat.

"Very best wishes,

"Jack" (Jack H Smit)
