Abstract

This chapter discusses social work collusion in government- sponsored cruelty with asylum seekers. The reference point is offshore detention that is part of the armoury of Australia’s deterrence of people endeavouring to arrive directly on Australian shores to seek asylum. Although there have been a number of frameworks for examining offshore policies and practices, including legal-, health-, and human rights- focused, the question of neocolonialism is largely unexplored.
