A STRANGE fate has befallen the Labor Party on boat arrivals - government policy is now a shambles, with arrivals at a record high, yet the ALP national conference has voted for a new and firm offshore processing policy that means better border security down the track.
The refugee debate last weekend saw a defeat of the Labor Left and of Labor for Refugees in their bid to halt the Immigration Minister Chris Bowen from inserting into the ALP platform unequivocal support for offshore processing in the context of regional solutions to boat arrivals.
