Asylum seekers could work to earn the right be Aussies, Colin Barnett says

Western Australian Premier Colin Barnett suggested that the asylum seekers can actually be allocated to work under farming and hospitality so they can be qualified to become australians. He said that there were problems arising from the overcrowded camps in extreme conditions, especially in Curtin. Thus, he feels that instead of having detention on them, he sees merit in putting the asylum seekers to work. Besides, Colin voices that it is not a bad thing to get them work on the farm and for some ways they can earn their australian citizenships.
However, the plan is opposed by the Immigration Minister Chris Evans, as well as the East Timor Deputy Prime Minister Mario Viegas Carrascalao who felt that Timor-Leste is not a colony of other countries, and it does not serve the right to become the puppet of the other countries.
Meanwhile, the australian governemnt is planning on the reopening of retention centre in Nauru. Yet, this plan is still in the process of discussion and there are authorities who urge the government to reconsider the decision.

-------------------------------------
From my point of view, the acceptance of asylum seekers as australians are highly controversial. From the comments on the news, there are australians who feel that it is too easy for the asylum seekers to gain citizenships. However, there are also some australians who feel that it is quite a good idea as it reduces some social problems and at the same time, this can ensure those asylum seekers can at least, contribute some to Australia.
