Refugees : why seeking asylum is legal and Australia's policies are not
McAdam, Jane, 1974-2014
Book
Stopping the boats, blocking queue-jumpers and proving who is a 'real' refugee have become national obsessions. Misconceptions about refugees and asylum seekers seem to be increasing and governments and media continue to exploit anxieties in the community. This clear-headed book rejects spin and panic to explain what Australia's international legal obligations are.
