Minister for Justice The Hon.

It identifies the international engagement that Australian Government agencies will support as part of implementation of the NIAS. Australia’s international engagement to disrupt the supply of methamphetamine will leverage existing programs and resources while ensuring their complementarity across government agencies to deliver more effective and targeted outcomes. Efforts will be focussed across four cross-cutting pillars as follows: EGY T 1 Understand the 2 Enhance law enforcement and RA T international environment. border security cooperation.

The Public Health Association of Australia and the Australian Medical Association assert that people seeking asylum in Australia have a right to health in the same way as Australian citizens, and they denounce detention of such people in government facilities for prolonged and indeterminate periods of time. The position of these two professional organisations is consistent with the compelling body of evidence demonstrating the negative impact detention has on health. Yet in recent years, both the Labour and Liberal parties—when at the helm of Australia’s Federal Government—have implemented a suite of regressive policies toward individuals seeking asylum. This has involved enforced legal restrictions on dissenting voices of those working with these populations, including health professionals.

  • An International Analysis of Governmental Media Campaigns to Deter Asylum Seekers
    International Journal of Communication 14(2020), 1092–1114 1932–8036/20200005 An International Analysis of Governmental Media Campaigns to Deter Asylum Seekers SARAH C. BISHOP1 Baruch College, The City University of New York, USA In recent years, the governments of the United States, Australia, and Norway have developed and launched informational multimedia campaigns targeted at dissuading unwanted groups of asylum-seeking migrants and have disseminated these media in strategic international locales. This project investigates the visual and textual facets of these deterrence campaigns using critical narrative analysis. Asylum seekers globally occupy a precarious liminal position; this article interrogates the processes of governmentality at work in this liminal space. Specifically, I analyze the ways that government-funded deterrence campaigns offer material directives that (1) discursively bifurcate the nature of the threats posed when individuals seek asylum, and (2) omit requisite information about migrants’ human right to seek asylum, thereby advancing strategic ignorance in their audiences. Keywords: immigration, media, global communication, governmentality, migration deterrence There are currently around 3.5 million asylum seekers across the world—the highest number that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has ever recorded. In Europe, the number of individuals seeking asylum has increased nearly 4,000% in the last decade, and the rate of arrivals is accelerating (Eurostat, 2019). Displaced individuals often flee to neighboring areas, and about 85% of displaced people reside in developing regions that are often unable to provide the material resources and long-term social services necessary for a high-functioning asylum system (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees [UNHCR], 2018b).

  • Managing the Risk of Asbestos at the Border
    Managing the risk of asbestos at the border The health risks posed by exposure to asbestos are well known. An Australia-wide ban on the manufacture and use of all forms of asbestos took effect on 31 December 2003. Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws in all states and territories prohibit the supply and unauthorised transport, use, or handling of asbestos. In order to support the domestic ban: Importing asbestos, or goods containing asbestos, to Australia is prohibited under Regulation 4C of the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956 unless a permission has been granted or a lawful exception applies. Exporting asbestos, or certain goods containing asbestos, from Australia is prohibited under Regulation 4 and Schedule 1 of the Customs (Prohibited Exports) Regulations 1958, unless permission has been granted or a lawful exception applies. Australia is one of the few countries in the Asia/Pacific region that has a comprehensive ban on all six types of asbestos. In many countries, despite the known threat to human health, local standards allow low levels or particular types of asbestos to be used for manufacturing. Goods manufactured outside Australia might be labelled “asbestos free” and still contain low levels of asbestos. Such goods will not be permitted for importation into Australia, except in very limited circumstances. Types of prohibited asbestos Asbestos means the asbestiform varieties of mineral silicates belonging to the following serpentine or amphibole groups of rock forming minerals: actinolite asbestos; grunerite (or amosite) asbestos (brown); anthophyllite asbestos; chrysotile asbestos (white); crocidolite asbestos (blue); tremolite asbestos; or a mixture that contains one or more of the minerals referred above.

  • Refugees Welcome? How Germany, Canada, and Australia Respond to Contemporary Migration
    Refugees welcome? How Germany, Canada, and Australia respond to contemporary migration Doctoral thesis for obtaining the academic degree Doctor of Social Sciences submitted by Lorenz Wiese (né Neuberger) at the Faculty of Politics, Law and Economics Department of Politics and Public Administration Oral examination date: 1.8.2019 1st supervisor: Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Seibel 2nd supervisor: Prof. Dr. Sven Jochem Konstanz, 2019 Konstanzer Online-Publikations-System (KOPS) URL: http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:352-2-1xsrf5ls24wry8 Abstract This dissertation studies how three different liberal democracies; Germany, Canada, and Australia, have experienced and reacted to contemporary migration, focusing on asylum seekers and refugees. Conceptually, it assumes that their admission leads to paradoxes for host states’ governmental apparatuses: If these migrants’ reasons to seek new lives outside of their home countries and regions are recognized, they need to be granted protection statuses and thus be ‘welcomed’ to stay temporarily or permanently. As a consequence of public ‘backlashes’ and anxieties, destination countries’ governments have however increasingly attempted to control and restrict their entry. To understand these phenomena, this study explains the underlying incentives and scopes for handling contemporary migratory movements primarily from a governmental top-down point of view. Historical institutionalism helps to understand the path-dependent emergence of certain policies in the context of each state’s particular actor constellations. Approaches taken from public choice theory are adopted to illuminate the connection between societal sentiments, discourses, and domestic political decision- making. Insights from delegation, blame and signaling games are used to complete this picture. Supplemented by expert interviews, the empirical part of this study deciphers the observable political developments, as well as the resulting administrative asylum/refugee regimes in 21st century Germany, Canada, and Australia.

A uniquely large island nation with a long coastline and few close neighbours, Australia benefits from an immense mari- time domain, the third largest in the world. However, with relatively few maritime enforcement resources and an extreme dependence on sea bourne trade, maritime enforcement Australia faces an extremely difficult task in monitoring and ensuring compliance with national laws throughout its maritime jurisdiction. We highlight current threats to Australia’s marine environment including protection of natural resources, piracy, terrorism and illegal arrivals, and examine Australia’s capabilities, legislation and approach to combating these risks. Essential to Australia’s strategy is collaboration across domestic civil and defence agencies, use of innovative approaches and technologies, and regional and international partnerships through creative agree- ments and treaties.
