It is well known that if somebody is seeking asylum, they are less likely to commit a crime because they will be brought to the attention of the police. If I was making an application for asylum, I would be the most law-abiding citizen I could be because I would not want to attract the attention of the police.

There is a question regarding the airlines. Regardless of whether someone comes here on a false passport, with papers or whatever, there is a belief that airlines should be doing more. Can Ms McPhillips comment on that matter?
