On Wednesday November 8, the High Court of Australia found indefinite immigration detention constitutes punishment, making the relevant legislation unconstitutional.
The deportation debate is toxic politics – if the system is truly broken, we need more than kneejerk solutions | Mary Crock - NewsBreak
Anthony Albanese and Andrew Giles in parliament. ‘The politics is toxic. Labor knows it and the Coalition revels in … the perception of politicians who are (not) tough on crime and (not) tough on undesirable immigrants.’ Photograph: Lukas Coch/AAP There is little to envy about Andrew Giles’ position as stories of released immigration detainees convicted of serious crimes dominate the news cycle and the opposition frames the controversies as governmental dysfunction.

Should Australia let Kanye West in?
Although he’s both a musician and rapper, Ye may be best described as a social influencer – and one with very offensive views, especially when it comes to Jewish people and the Holocaust. Never one to miss a political opportunity, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, a former home affairs and immigration minister, has declared he would block Ye if he had the power. As media interest mounts, Giles, the minister with the actual responsibility here, has yet to respond.

Why compassion rather than discrimination should inform our permanent visas policies
A three-year-old boy with haemophilia and an acquired brain injury is facing removal from the country because the home affairs department has ruled his medical costs would unduly burden Australian taxpayers. Kayban Jamshaad’s case is before Perth’s Administrative Appeal Tribunal where his parents claim that removal to their home country of the Maldives would be a death sentence because he would lose the medical care he needs to survive.

By Mary Crock and Daniel Ghezelbash Posted February 14, 2019 06:00:00 Ordinary Australians are tired of the casual cruelty of hard-line border control policies. The medical evacuation bill was introduced by Dr Kerryn Phelps to ensure that refugees and asylum seekers on Nauru and Manus Island can access the medical care they require. The bill was passed because our elected representatives, too, recognise that enough is enough.

Visa crackdown exposes politicians' citizenship double standard
As Australia's citizenship drama has expanded to claim more political scalps, the Minister for Immigration quietly introduced regulations of devastating effect for migrants who slip up at any stage in the complicated process of applying for an Australian visa. The Migration Legislation Amendment (2017 Measures No 4) Regulations introduced a raft of new hazards for migrants from November 18.

What is a persecuted Iranian to do?
In the past, many Iranians travelled to Australia via legal means, never to make the return journey. These people are now leaders in law, politics and science. Perhaps if we restored these opportunities to reach our shores, however remote, Iranians would be less inclined to travel here via boats, argue Mary Crock and Daniel Ghezelbash. Hysteria surrounding the arrival of boats carrying asylum seekers is a familiar phenomenon in Australia - especially around election time.
