Australia's obligations to asylum seekers -- Chapter 2. Immigration detention in Australia -- Chapter 3. Offshore processing policy debate. 330 $aThe record rate of unauthorised and unsafe boat arrivals on Australian shores has further fuelled the longstanding asylum seeker debate and prompted the federal government to seek an effective solution to a seemingly intractable border control problem. The government's recent policy backdown which resulted in the reintroduction of offshore processing for asylum seekers while at the same increasing the annual refugee intake, has drawn both praise and condemnation. Should Australia 'turn back the boats' of the so-called 'queue jumpers' to deter the unsafe and unscrupulous practices of people smugglers? Should Australia maintain offshore processing in other countries such as Nauru and Papua New Guinea (Manus Island), or process asylum seekers onshore in Australia? What are Australia's obligations to asylum seekers under the Refugee Convention and under its own laws? Is the practice of prolonged mandatory detention adding further trauma to the lives of people who may have already fled from desperate situations in their homelands? 410 0$aIssues in society (Balmain, N.S.W.) ;$vv. 353. 606 $aPolitical refugees$zAustralia 606 $aDetention of persons$zAustralia 615 0$aPolitical refugees 615 0$aDetention of persons 676 $a325.210994 701 $aHealey$b Justin$01086113 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786259403321 996 $aAsylum seekers and immigration detention$93733530 997 $aUNINA
