Description

Migration and citizenship policies have long provoked controversy. This subject examines Australian immigration law and policy from a variety of perspectives – contemporary and historical, substantive and procedural, statutory and regulatory and constitutional – including the criteria for admission to Australia as a permanent resident or a temporary migrant or the acquisition of citizenship, the grounds for exclusion or removal and the role of the courts in ensuring the legality of official action. There is also a focus on laws and policies that relate to those seeking asylum in Australia. The core issues at stake in this subject – the boundaries of political membership and debates about asylum, just treatment of non-citizens and population policies – have long played and continue to play a significant role in many areas of the law and present fundamental challenges to Australia.
