Paperback. This book documents the complex, drawn out and harsh legal procedures and historically racist and toxic immigration culture that await people arriving by plane and subsequently seeking refugee status in Australia. This story has hitherto been sidelined because of the more notorious offshore detention policies of successive Australian governments for people arriving by boat. In this book, research by Dr Aileen Crowe, a Franciscan nun and refugee advocate, provides both detailed insight into the lived experiences of such would-be migrants and the tangle of immigration processes and laws which they must navigate at their peril. The authors support and advocacy role brings her close to individuals and families attempting to escape numerous forms of persecution in their own countries as they confront further trauma in seeking Australias protection. The book is an important and challenging document for potential migrants and asylum seekers, politicians, lawyers, students of international relations, and the general public internationally. Acts of Cruelty documents the complex and harsh legal procedures and racist immigration culture that can await those arriving by plane to seek refugee status in Australia. Refugee advocates help applicants stand up for their rights. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…

Acts of Cruelty: Australian Immigration Laws and Experiences of People Seeking Protection After Arriving by Plane documents the complex, drawn out and harsh legal procedures and historically racist immigration culture that can await people arriving by plane and subsequently seeking refugee status in Australia. This story has hitherto been under-represented because of the more notorious offshore detention policies of successive Australian governments for people arriving by boat. In this book, research by Dr Aileen Crowe, a Franciscan nun and refugee advocate, provides both detailed insight into the lived experiences of such would-be migrants and the tortuous maze of bureaucratic, often punitive immigration processes and laws which they must try to navigate at their peril. The author's support and advocacy role brings her close to individuals and families attempting to escape numerous forms of persecution in their own countries as they confront further trauma in seeking Australia's protection and their human rights. The book is an important and challenging document for potential migrants and asylum seekers, politicians, lawyers, students of international relations, and the general public internationally.
