Book Description
Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Pages and inside covers are sunned.
By denying Captain Arne Rinnan permission to dock his ship Tampa with its cargo of asylum seekers at the nearest landfall of Christmas Island, Australia signalled that it was dramatically closing its national borders.
Trading on fear and using mandatory detention in the Pacific, John Howard and Philip Ruddock effectively exclude asylum seekers from the Australian courts.
Frank Brennan argues that the Australian Government's response is a massive overreaction, possible only because Australia is a remote country with few asylum seekers and no land borders.
