In an attempt to control the overwhelming numbers of people seeking asylum in Australia through dangerous methods, such as the people arriving by boat. In a recent move the Gillard Government has made a deal with the Malaysian Government where they will be sent to Malaysia upon arrival. Gillard condemned the Christmas island process and the deal with Nauru saying that Nauru was not a signatory of the Human Rights convention... though neither is Malaysia.

Not all asylum seekers go through this process however. Only those whom do not formally apply for asylum and attempt to 'jump' to the front of the line. Other asylum seekers whom do legally seek refuge are given visas where they are able to stay in Australia. Refer to the Australian Government website for more information.
