Give them a choice. Stay in jail till we find out if they actually are refugees or get on a plane back to wherever they came from.

I think it's quite safe to say that I disagree with your point of view on this.
I see nothing righteous about keeping children, for example, in "jail" (as you call it) indefinitely.
But then again, I see nothing surprising about Howard abandoning Australia's obligations under international law in several areas, including the treatment of refugees or the mediation of international maritime disputes etc.
