This article is stating at how the Malaysia deal was overturned by the High Court of Australia as it does not meet the criteria for dealing with refugees, as Australia is part of the UNHCR, and also from public backfire under this plan for the same reasons. At the time of the overturning of the Malaysia deal Gillard's approval rating was 33% and she was the most unpopular Labor leader of all time due to this asylum seeker deal and the carbon tax.
In Commerce we have learnt that laws reflect change in society- this reflects the change of the Labor Party's current popularity and how serious Australia is in its protection of asylum seeker policy, or possibly how desperate Australia is to get into the UN Security Council from this ruling. Through this it also shows the Australian people and their dislike for this Malaysia deal as it does not give protection from asylum seekers, who are attempting to get into Australia for its good human rights record and protection.
It also shows the power that the Australian High Court has over the Government to keep it in check and to only let through policy that is constitutional.
