This book explores Australia's ambivalent legal and political
response to irregular migration, including the unplanned arrival of
people variously known as asylum seekers, boat people, illegals,
queue jumpera and economic migrants. Part 1 outlines how many
people arrive, who they are, where they come from, and why they
come. It also compares Australia's experience of irregular
migration to that of other countries, in light of the vast global
movements of people and increasingly exploitative practices such as
people smuggling and people trafficking. The core of the book
addresses the complex system of refugee law and policy in
Australia. It explains the legal definition of who is a refugee and
the administrative and judicial procedures for applying this
definition to determine refugee status. It traces the changes to
law and policy since 2001 following the infamous Tampa affair, the
introduction of the Pacific Strategy, and the extension to West
Papuans in 2006 of the policy of interdicting, deflecting, and
processing asylum seekers offshore on Nauru and Christmas Island.
The final part of this book examines equally controversial laws and
policies requiring the mandatory detention of unlawful
non-citizens, including the key High Court decisions which
confirmed the parliament's power to detain a person indefinitely
and in breach of international human rights law. The living
conditions in the detention centres and how Australia's laws
compare with other countries are also discussed. Future Seekers II
builds on a shorter book by two of the authors in 2002. This book
responds to the many changes to refugee and migration law between
2002 and 2006 and its deeper coverage of the issues reflects the
growing sophistication of public understanding of and concern about
refugee issues in Australia.
