    May 27, 2010 - Australia is facing fresh calls to end its freeze on processing refugee claims by Afghan and Sri Lankan asylum seekers and stop discriminating against Aborigines. Amnesty International issued the pleas in its latest annual report on human rights abuses in 159 countries, released in London on Thursday. The report highlighted the treatment of Afghan and Sri Lankan asylum seekers, the racial discrimination of Aborigines in the Northern Territory and the need for a human rights act as key issues for Australia.

    I will not hold my breath on any changes in the Australian immigration policy any time soon.
