Book description
This book explores Australia's ambivalent legal and political
response to 'irregular' migrants including: asylum seekers, "boat people", "illegals",
"queue jumpers", and "economic migrants".
It documents the essential facts: how many people arrive, who they are,
where they come from, and why they come.
The book addresses the complex system of refugee law and policy and the
extensive changes since Tampa in 2001. It covers both the introduction
of the "Pacific Strategy", and the changes proposed in May 2006 to address
Indonesian concerns over refugees from West Papua.
It examines the mandatory detention of unlawful non-citizens and reports on
living conditions in the detention centres. It explains key High Court
decisions confirming parliament's power to detain a person indefinitely - in
breach of international human rights law.
Australia's experience, law and policy are compared to that of other
countries in some key areas.
