However, successive governments in Australia have declared the need to 'stop the boats' whatever the cost, be it human, economic, moral or legal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this new book, Jane McAdam and Fiona Chong find that Australia's policies towards refugees have hardened since their bestselling \u003ci\u003eRefugees: Why seeking asylum is legal and Australia's policies are not\u003c\/i\u003e was published in 2014. Now, \u003ci\u003eRefugee Rights and Policy Wrongs\u003c\/i\u003e provides a wholly updated account of Australian refugee law and policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBringing facts to bear on a highly politicised debate, McAdam and Chong explain why Australia falls short of its own international commitments when it comes to policies on offshore processing, detention and boat turnbacks, among others. This up-to-date account of Australia's refugee laws and policies could not come at a more crucial time and is compelling reading for anyone seeking to understand the human impacts of Australia's practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book should be read by all Australians concerned about the inhumanity demonstrated by successive federal governments when dealing with refugees seeking our protection. - Ian McPhee AO\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461336809708,"sku":"9781742236520","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781742236520-refugee-rights-and-policy-wrongs.jpg?v=1774965279","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/refugee-rights-and-policy-wrongs-by-jane-mcadam-9781742236520","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
