| Summary |
With the failure of mandatory detention to curb the arrival by boat of increasing numbers of asylum seekers from the world's most repressive regimes, legislation was introduced in late 2001 to prevent 433 of the so-called 'boat people' rescued from their sinking boat by the Danish ship "Tampa" (as well as all later asylum seekers) from applying to Australia for asylum. This program covers the following: the Tampa incident and related events, laws introduced to deter unauthorised boat arrivals-details and consequences, the Pacific Solution: Nauru, Christmas Island, etc., the situation in mainland detention centres, the 'children overboard' affair, attitudes and opinions of Australians on the issue of asylum |
