Bridging Troubled Waters: Australia and Asylum Seekers

by Tony Ward

Australian discussion of asylum seekers is polarized between slogans of 'Stop the Boats' and 'Bring them here.' Both sides have good arguments - and both have their blind spots. And both are ill-prepared for surprises that emerge from a careful look at the details: in how most asylum seekers reach Australia; in changing public attitudes; in what policies work, and which do more damage than good.
