Australia Puts Its Refugee Problem on a Remote Island, Behind Razor Wire. New York Times, 5 November 2009
"The arrival of illegal boats filled with Asians evokes a primordial fear here, one that has been instilled over past decades of anti-Asian immigration policies."
(The NYT errs here, of course: seeking refuge in Australia is 100% legal.)

Date: 2009-11-09 09:39 am (UTC)Section 14, specifically, defines unlawful non-citizens as follows:
(1) A non‑citizen in the migration zone who is not a lawful non‑citizen is an unlawful non‑citizen.
(2) To avoid doubt, a non‑citizen in the migration zone who, immediately before 1 September 1994, was an illegal entrant within the meaning of the Migration Act as in force then became, on that date, an unlawful non‑citizen.
This, in conjunction with the information at the HREOC page you linked above, is the basis for my opinion expressed in my second comment.
