Can we solve the asylum seeker crisis? Guardian Workshop at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas
Published on the 14 Sep 2016
On 3 September, the Guardian's David Marr led a panel of national and international experts on refugee policies at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas at the Sydney Opera House. The session titled 'Can we solve the asylum seeker crisis?' explored alternative solutions to the current situation for asylum seekers in Australia.
Could a simple change to the law make a difference for asylum seekers in Australia? Or do we need to stop acting as though there are ‘good’ and ‘bad’ types of refugees? Kaldor Centre Director, Professor Jane McAdam and Visiting Professor Geoff Gilbert joined Daniel Webb from the Human Rights Law Centre and Shukufa Tahiri from the Refugee Council of Australia to tackle these big questions.
