tried to buy passage with what little money they had, and not all of them made it, their daughters being taken raped and murdered. There whole family were seeking asylum, and yet they had to go through all that hard ache, we a Great nation need to step up our effects in helping those that need it most, Asylum Seekers. Asylum Seekers have such a bad name in today’s society, strange that. In the early 18 hundreds didn’t English people travel vast oceans on boats to seek refuge in Australia? Hmmm.…
ignorant because I wasn’t aware of the actual statistics and facts about asylum seekers. This has to do with media influence. I wasn’t aware that over 90% of asylum seekers come by plane rather than by boat. I also wasn’t aware that Australia hosts less asylum seekers than other countries. I think that the media, especially the popular media has really influenced the way I think about wider issues such as asylum seekers. This has forced me to rethink and to question what is said in the paper…
The Current Approach of Asylum Seekers in Australia Gina Le PART I Currently policy: Australia’s mandatory detention centre policy means that asylum seekers await in a detention centre until they are processed, which can take years. This policy originated from the Keating Government (Labour) in 1992, and has been subject to variations under Howard, Rudd and Gillard governments. The main detention centre in Australia for asylum seekers is Nauru. This policy has been controversial. The Australian…
ASYLUM SEEKERS SPEACH BY GRACE SAROTA ! Good afternoon, I am Mohammed Malik, I am an asylum seeker. I fled my home country Afghanistan to seek international protection here in Australia. There are many reasons as to why i and many other asylum seekers fled our home countries. As human beings we value respect, in the countries we asylum seekers come from our human rights are not being respected, this is the major reason as to why we are forced to flee our homes. In most cases, especially…
Asylum seekers in today’s cartoons Each year the national Museum of Australia holds an exhibition displaying some of the best political cartoons published over the year. I believe that more cartoons addressing Asylum Seekers should be in this year’s exhibit, this is not only because of the entertaining arguments that have been sparked between the parties while debating the matter, but the importance of how and where we process our refugees. I have chosen 3 cartoons that address this political issue…
Introduction This essay explores how unaccompanied asylum seeking children (UASC) are oppressed in the UK. An unaccompanied asylum seeking child is a person under the age of eighteen who has left their country of origin in order to seek refuge and is ‘separated from both parents and are not being cared for by an adult who, by law or custom has responsibility to do so’ (UNHCR, 1994:121). They are therefore applying for asylum in their own right. Discrimination is the process of identifying that…
the purposes of seeking asylum, regardless of how they arrive or whether they hold valid travel or identity documents. The Convention stipulates that what would usually be considered as illegal actions (e.g. entering a country without a visa) should not be treated as illegal if a person is seeking asylum. This means that it is incorrect to refer to asylum seekers who arrive without authorisation as “illegal”, as they in fact have a right to enter Australia to seek asylum. In line with our obligations…
Asylum seekers have been escaping their hostile countries for decades now, but where are they fleeing to? Not to Australia. With the Australian government forcing asylum seekers to Thailand and other foreign countries, it is lessening the number we, as Australians, have to "deal with", at least that is the government’s plan. Many Australians believe that asylum seekers and refugees don't deserve to come here to Australia, however if those Australians were to be forced to flee Australia due to war…
vulnerable in this unstable environment. Refugees who move on from volatile camps often seek asylum in stable, developed nations, creating a precarious tension between human rights and safe passage such as Australia’s asylum seeking boat people. To stem the flow of asylum seekers, several countries in the west introduced policies of deterrence, including detention. Although many countries detain asylum seekers, Australia has been unique in establishing a policy of mandatory, indefinite detention. The…
The Living Hell on our shores Imagine you are an asylum seeker, having just been forced into a detention center. You imagine what you left behind - your family and friends. It was painful to leave them, but you had to escape, for you were surrounded by rape, torture, injustice, war, starvation... Months pass and you still haven’t been let out of detention, and by now you’re feeling an intense hatred towards your life. Slit wrists, deliberate starvation, drug overdose and suicide attempts are all…
