The Pacific Solution
The Australian Catholic Social Justice Council is opposed to the ‘Pacific Solution?. We believe that everyone intercepted in Australian waters or on Australian territory seeking asylum in Australia should have their claims to refugee or humanitarian status determined in Australia, rather than being diverted to other countries for processing. This paper sets out our reasons for adopting this stance, and our concerns regarding the ‘Pacific Solution?.
Copies can be ordered from the ACSJC Secretariat for $2.20, or you can download the paper as a PDF file.
