- Title
- Out of mind out of sight, but we're not treating asylum seekers right
- Author(s)
- Briskman, Linda
- Abstract
- For a brief moment in 2008 asylum seeker advocates were optimistic. This moment of optimism has now gone. As the government announces plans to send newly arriving asylum seekers to Malaysia and also enters negotiations with PNG, it seems the only way is down. But things could be better, if we would just face facts.
