- Abstract
- After two weeks of assessing the evidence, discussing policy and reporting on fieldwork, The Conversation's asylum seeker expert panel has made its findings. Using information from our research repository, and arising from discussion had on the group blog, our panel of academics has drafted a position tailored to the Houston panel's Terms of Reference. Whether this expert advice will be heeded remains to be seen, but this statement will remain on the public record as a fair, humane and workable policy approach to asylum seekers losing their lives at sea.
