"At present, both major political parties favour the use of punitive
measures that theoretically stem the arrival of boat people. This theory
supposedly creates the facade that if Australia purports a harsh enough
regime, hypothetical arrivals will cease, seeking instead their chances
with the Taliban. In any case, it's not the Australia we should strive for."
