Given that the government screws things up generally, isn't it possible that they're also screwing up their 'asylum seeker' policy?
Yes.
In fact they do more than screw up. They deliberately miss apply rules, break the law and I have no doubt that in 10-20yrs will be shown to be involved in the systematic cover up of abuse of detainees.

Given that the government screws things up generally, isn't it possible that they're also screwing up their 'asylum seeker' policy? I only say this because 'a friend of a friend' who was involved with Afghan kids granted asylum (in a sort of fostering capacity) reckons they are rarely seeking asylum from anything: they've be sent here by relatives who see them as potential cash cows. Moreover, these young men - because they are young men a lot of the time - aren't particularly happy about it.
