Australia's asylum seeker politics : localised, globalised

Research output: Other contribution

Abstract

The Geneva-based research centre, the Global Detention Project (GDP) articulates the problematic nature of Australia’s immigration detention system: “Australia arguably has the most restrictive immigration control regime in the world, making widespread use of offshore detention facilities, imposing mandatory detention measures, and working closely with other countries in the region to boost their detention capacities. All of the country’s detention facilities are operated by private contractors, including offshore facilities, which have been the subject of growing criticism because of the abuses suffered by detainees at some of these facilities.”
