In addition, govt's Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill 2025, currently in progress through Parliament, will repeal parts of the Illegal Migration Act 2023, so that asylum seekers (irregular arrivals on beaches) will be properly treated as before

Cool. So you agree that the Illegal Migration Act makes claiming asylum after arriving on a beach impossible. Thanks.

Learn how refugee status works. The law saying something is irrelevant if conventions supersede them.

Conventions don't supersede them if they're not enshrined in domestic law. Duh.
