In this discussion the speakers compare and contrast the way Australia and New Zealand have responded to people who have sought protection by exercising their right to seek asylum under the United Nations Convention on Refugees. The Forum was organised by Refugee Advocacy Network with the assistance of Amnesty International Australia, Academics for Refugees, Victorian Council of Churches, and hosted by St Paul\u2019s Cathedral.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2001, the infamous standoff now known as the Tampa Incident brought the attention of the world to Australia\u2019s refusal to allow entry to 433 people seeking asylum, who had been rescued by the MV Tampa when their boat was sinking.\u00a0 In stark contrast to Australia\u2019s rejection, the New Zealand government provided immediate resettlement for the refugees rescued by the Tampa.\u00a0 Others seeking protection in Australia were not so lucky.\u00a0 The \u2018Pacific Solution\u2019 was scrambled together by the Howard Government and so began two decades of suffering under the much criticised \u2018offshore processing\u2019 regime. Since that time people who travelled by sea to seek asylum in Australia have suffered in appalling conditions in PNG and on Nauru, and continue to be refused permanent settlement here.\u00a0 Thousands are still living with uncertain futures.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
