First term blues: Labor, Refugees and immigration reform

In early 2010 the continuing arrival of boats carrying asylum seekers, problems in the foreign student program and backlogs in skilled migration combined once again to make immigration and refugee issues front page news. This article reflects on the extent to which Labor has delivered on undertakings made during the campaign of 2007 and those other areas where reform has been slow and opportunities for real change have been squandered. The central problems appear to be that the Labor Government either does not have a clear vision of where it wants to take immigration policy in Australia or it has been spooked by anti-immigration sentiments in the electorate. Sadly, there has been a tendency on some occasions to respond to the exigencies of political expediency at the expense of more reasoned change.

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit Southeastern Louisiana with devastating force. Those most affected within the city of New Orleans, the majority of whom were poor, elderly, and African-American, lost their lives, homes, and means of livelihood. As the world looked on at the televised coverage of Katrina, journalists and news reporters routinely referred to the displaced as “refugees.” Although the media images of desperation resonated with the racial logic of refugee status, the term sparked considerable controversy, particularly within the African-American community. Rev. Jesse Jackson angrily chided reporters in a televised interview, stating, “It’s racist to call American citizens refugees.” In a moment of apparent agreement with Rev. Jackson, President Bush remarked, “The people we are talking about are not refugees. They are Americans, and they need the help and compassion of our [sic] fellow citizens.”
