A short, straightforward guide to the rights and wrongs of our refugee policy written by the expert in the field. Stopping the boats, blocking queue-jumpers and proving who is a 'real' refugee have become national obsessions. Misconceptions about refugees and asylum seekers seem to be increasing and governments and media continue to exploit anxieties in the community.
