FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Independent MP Rob Oakeshott plans to reintroduce his asylum-seeker private member’s bill when federal parliament returns after the winter break.
He says while the findings of an independent expert panel on the issue could be useful, any real solution to slow the flow of boats depends on Labor getting an agreement on offshore processing with the Greens or coalition.
Mr Oakeshott’s bill – which would allow the government to go ahead with its people-swap deal with Malaysia and reopen a detention centre on Nauru – was defeated in the Senate on June 28 after the Greens joined with the coalition to block it.
After the bill failed, Prime Minister Julia Gillard commissioned retired defence chief Angus Houston, advocate Paris Aristotle and former foreign affairs head Michael L’Estrange to find a way forward.
Their report is due to go to the government before parliament resumes on August 14.
Mr Oakeshott, who is on a cross-party committee working on an alternative solution, intends to reintroduce his bill when parliament returns.
“The first week will be about trying to find a resolution on that,” he told AAP.
“It’s not the number of boats arriving but the loss of life at sea that motivate me, and breaking the business model of smuggling and trafficking that encourages that.”
“I’ve got brick marks on my forehead, but I think there is resolution.”
Some 100 boats carrying more than 7000 people have arrived in Australian waters this year.
“There is so much community expectation and pressure … that I think there is a resolution to this, so I am buoyant,” Mr Oakeshott said.
