Principles of Institutional Design for a ‘Good’ Exit from Parliament
How elected representatives depart the legislature, either voluntarily or involuntarily, shapes perceptions of the legitimacy of representative institutions. Yet parliamentary exit has been neglected in research on political careers. Seeking to address this gap, this article analyses parliamentary exit in terms of its fit with democratic values. It begins by recasting the process of exit as an ‘institution,’ which opens the door to institutionali…

Has Politics Become More Professional? Career and Legislative Professionalisation in the Australian Parliament Since 1950
“Professional politicians” have been lamented for their perceived negative impact on representative democracy. However, the concept of “political professionalisation” is deployed inconsistently, making these claims difficult to assess. This article develops a framework to measure professionalisation across two dimensions: career professionalisation (capturing MPs' changing career trajectories) and legislative professionalisation (describing the c…

Transitional Support for Former Members of Parliament
Leaving parliament is often a time of significant financial, employment and emotional difficulty for MPs. However, few studies have examined the support provided by parliaments to departing and former members. Consequently, parliaments lack access to best-practice case studies to improve the transitional experience for MPs. This article develops five benchmarks for supporting former MPs, covering transitional financial assistance; retirement inco…
The Best Risky Point”
Seeking asylum is a perilous endeavour with unpredictable border crossings, protection prospects, and settlement outcomes. Young unaccompanied asylum seekers face even greater risks. Yet exclusively characterizing them as vulnerable or passive ignores their agency in making choices in a range of unique, dynamic, and challenging circumstances. In this article, we use deep ethnographic methodology to amplify young asylum seekers’ voices, examining …
Politics as a transitory vocation
A career in parliament is inherently a transitory vocation, and parliamentary turnover is critical for a healthy democracy. Yet many MPs fail to prepare for the time when they must leave parliament. This lack of preparedness exacerbates the challenges of post-parliamentary life. Drawing on research conducted with former members of the Parliament of Victoria, Australia, this article reports on the experiences of MPs leaving parliament. Former MPs,…
Incarceration, classification and control
Administrative detention, a form of non-judicial incarceration, was a powerful tool of settler colonialism. Administrative detention enables governments to incarcerate whole categories of people, often indefinitely and under unregulated conditions, to manage perceived threats to national identity, integrity, or security. In Australia, various forms of administrative detention have been implemented almost continuously since British settlement. By …
Australia's Refugee Detention Regime
[T]he idea that being ‘tough on asylum’ wins elections has become one of the great enduring myths of Australian politics, and apparently both major parties have decided that the stakes are too high to try anything different
Regional responses to refugees
There are many reasons why thinking about refugees in terms of regions makes sense. Overwhelmingly, the social, economic and political dynamics that result from refugee displacement are contained within, and carried by, regions. By far, the majority of refugees who have fled their country remain within the region in which they were born; and 85 percent of refugees remain in the developing world (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHC…
Asylum by Boat
Self-represented witnessing
The act of witnessing connects audiences with distant suffering. But what happens when bearing witness becomes severely restricted? External parties, including the mainstream news media, are constrained from accessing Australia’s offshore immigration detention centres. The effect is that people seeking asylum are hidden from the public and excluded from national debates. Some detainees have adopted social media as a platform to communicate their …

Secrecy and human rights abuse in Australia’s offshore immigration detention centres
All asylum seekers who arrive in Australia's territorial waters by boat are subject to mandatory, indefinite and unreviewable detention on Nauru and Papua New Guinea. This offshore detention regime is characterised by a high degree of secrecy, low levels of transparency and accountability, and few opportunities for external oversight. This has created a closed, controlled environment, in which people are routinely neglected and harmed. To better …
Australia–Indonesia cooperation on asylum-seekers
n\t\t\t\t\tAustralia and Indonesia have engaged in cooperation on asylum policy since the late 1990s, bilaterally on immigration detention and people-smuggling agreements, and multilaterally through the Bali Process. Seen from a global perspective, this form of cooperation is one of many such bilateral and multilateral agreements that stymie the ability of asylum-seekers to gain effective and durable protection. This article argues that policy tr…
Partialism, Executive Control, and the Deportation of Permanent Residents from Australia
Many migration policies in Western democracies can be categorised as what Matthew J. Gibney calls a ‘partialist’ approach to migration. Drawing from communitarian, conservative, and constitutionalist realist political theories, a partialist approach prioritises the interests and values of citizens and the community over the needs of non‐citizens. Stepping outside the normative debate, this paper examines the political implications of a partialist…
Taking our Houses’
The pressing issue of homelessness in Australia is largely caused by a shortage of affordable accommodation. Unexpected results from a study into the experiences of homeless families, however, revealed that many people held the perception that asylum seekers, refugees and migrants are given greater priority by welfare agencies for housing assistance. Analysis of the interview data is used to illustrate how public and political discourses circulat…
Exporting Detention
Since 2000, Australia has provided significant levels of funding and resources to encourage Indonesia to use immigration detention to deter asylum seekers from making the onward journey to Australia. In this way Australia has effectively extended its domestic policy of immigration detention beyond its own national borders. The provision of Australian funding for detention in Indonesia has resulted in an increased propensity of Indonesian official…
Truth-Telling at the Border
Since its initial broadcast in October 2004, Border Security: Australia's Front Line has enjoyed sustained high ratings on Australian television. This article examines the key theme of 'truth-telling' in Border Security. Drawing on interviews with audiences and the program's executive producer, the article argues that the way truth-telling shapes the storytelling in Border Security taps into contemporary social and political ideas about how and w…
‘A modern-day concentration camp’
the Federal Member for Cunningham, Michael Organ (Greens), wrote of his visit to the Villawood detention centre: 'The overall impression was one of a modern day concentration camp-razor wire, mud, sad faces, and shame.' 1 Our understanding of contemporary events is shaped, in part, by how we position them within history. Particularly in times of crisis, the connections we make between the present and the past can help us to make sense of contempo…
Temporary Protection and the Refugee Convention in Australia, Denmark, and Germany
This paper reports on a comparative study of temporary protection (TP) mechanisms in Australia and selected European jurisdictions.Specifically, it analyzes policy developments and trends in the use of TP mechanisms in Denmark, Germany, and Australia through a systematic examination of the evolution of “substitute protection” mechanisms; their implications for “effective protection” and their impacts on key stakeholders.The policy analyses are au…
