Since the Tampa Affair in 2001, Australia’s approach to asylum seekers has been defined by tough policies.
In the 13 years since, human rights activists and lawyers have been making a case for changing Australia’s approach on both legal and moral grounds – but the case for change hasn’t cut through.
A new report by Per Capita, A Nation All at Sea, suggests there needs to be a dramatic shift in the debate surrounding asylum seekers, to ensure sustainable policy and to maintain social cohesion.
