Description
For a little over a week at the end of August and beginning of September 2001, the plight of the MV Tampa and 433 refugees aboard dominated front pages, news bulletins, and talkback radio. The Howard Government's determination to ensure that no illegal immigrant set foot on Australian soil triggered a sharp upward swing in the polls. This was no accident. The Government's move against the Tampa was a carefully researched and premeditated election gambit intended to peel blue-collar voters away from Labor. The mainstream media largely missed this story even though the Opposition pointed to Howard's use of wedge politics. Had journalists understood this point they may have framed the story differently. The Tampa incident's lesson is that those covering politics need a good understanding of wedge politics and the full arsenal of political marketing methods that now shapes Australian political combat

Description
Extract: On 26 August 2001, a small Indonesian vessel, dangerously overloaded, was in imminent danger of sinking in the Indian Ocean. It was observed by the planes of Australian Coast watch. They requested a Norwegian container ship heading for Singapore, the M.V. Tampa, to go to its aid, as it was a vessel in distress. The Tampa did so. Its crew rescued 433 men, women and children from the vessel and transferred them to the Tampa. The Indonesian boat was abandoned and shortly afterwards sank.

Description
On 27 November 2001, the High Court brought the Tampa case to an abrupt halt. A panel of three justices refused to consider an appeal from a split decision of the Full Federal Court upholding the lawfulness of the detention and expulsion of the Tampa refugees. The decision effectively sanctioned the federal government's continued use of military force to remove asylum seekers from territorial waters and transport them to detention camps on remote Pacific islands. The verdict meant that hundreds of asylum seekers remained incarcerated, at the behest of the Australian government, in hellish conditions on the tiny island of Nauru. This article examines the refusal of the High Court to hear the case despite the undeniable existence of 'questions of law' of 'public importance'.

Description
This paper examines the events surrounding the rescue of Afghan asylum-seekers by the MV Tampa near Christmas Island last year. It looks at those events (including the litigation that followed them) against the background of domestic and international law. It questions the sincerity of the Australian Government's claim throughout the events and the subsequent litigation to be seeking fully to meet Australia’s legal obligations to refugees.

Description
Christmas Island is the site where Australia's mandatory immigration detention policies are implemented. Protests by Christmas Islanders against the Australian government’s treatment of asylum seekers have surfaced since boatpeople began arriving in 1992 and reached a pinnacle during the Tampa affair. Based on interviews conducted in 2009 with island residents and archival material, the paper explores Christmas Islanders’ responses before and during the Tampa affair through the notion of hospitality that was disrupted when a state of emergency removed control of both ethical responsibility and island sovereignty.

Description
Australia’s policies towards asylum seekers hit the headlines when it refused to admit those aboard the Tampa in September 2001. This tough stance and the raft of legislation that followed became known as Australia’s “Pacific Solution”. It was clearly intended to deter those who might otherwise arrive by sea or by air to claim asylum in Australia. Several other countries toughened their policies after September the 11th 2001. This paper examines the effects of those policies on the subsequent streams of asylum applications by estimating the effects from panel data using a differences-in-differences approach. We find that the post-Tampa effect for Australia was to cut asylum applications by more than half. In other countries such as New Zealand and the UK, negative policy effects are also found but they are somewhat weaker. We conclude that the deterrent effects of policy are greatest not only when tough policies are enforced but when they are also widely publicised.

Description
Extract: As students of law and as citizens, we must be concerned not only with questions of law, but also with the merits of the government’s policy and actions towards asylum seekers. That is one of the reasons why we have elections. In forming our assessment of the policy, whether or not our government is acting in accordance with the obligations we have taken on internationally must be relevant. We do not want to belong to a country that is seen as an "international delinquent". Nor, it should be suggested, do we want to depart from our tradition of giving people a fair go. We should, as a civilised society and one made up of migrants and the descendants of migrants, be prepared to accept those into our community who can no longer live in their own countries and who seek to give their families a chance of a better and safer life. The measure of their desperation is what they have done to seek asylum only to find, as in this case, that the government was determined to go to extraordinary lengths to prevent them having a chance of proving in our legal system their claim to be accepted as refugees. It is this denial of access to the legal system by government action that is the most extraordinary aspect of this extraordinary case.

Description
On the morning of 25 August 2001, few Australians had heard of the merchant vessel Tampa. The Norwegian ship had left the port of Fremantle three days earlier and was on its way to Singapore. The next day, the Tampa rescued 439 people from a sinking boat, prompting a major shift in Australian refugee policies, sparking a major political controversy and turning around the ailing fortunes of the governing Liberal-National Coalition ahead of a federal election later that year.
