| Abstract | "Boat arrivals have defined and divided 21st century Australia. This book outlines the Stop the Boats era from the 2013 to the 2022 federal elections. During this time, the dominant political view has been that to accept a single boat, family, or person, is to risk being overwhelmed by many others. It follows that government must do whatever it takes to command Australia's borders and deter unauthorised arrivals; that is, Stop the Boats! This book sets out the key political events and arguments for and against Australia's assurance that anyone who comes without permission will never be able to stay. It examines the impact of this commitment on regional and international relations, on those who seek refuge in Australia, and on those who call it 'home'. This volume serves as a valuable political history and analysis for scholars, policymakers, students, journalists, and anyone who is interested in questions of contemporary exclusion and belonging, including boatpeople"-- Provided by publisher. |
