"The past 48 hours in Australia has showcased the dramatic complexities of the
country’s migration and asylum landscape, and the power of ministerial
intervention in this federal portfolio.
On the one hand, the federal government pulled out all stops to safeguard
members of the Iranian women’s soccer team from returning to Iran – after
competing in Australia at the Asian Women’s Cup – by providing them with
refugee status.
On the other hand, as this drama was unfolding in Queensland and then Sydney
Airport, the government announced it was also introducing legislation to ban
people entering Australia for set periods of time if they held temporary visas
from designated countries.
So, why have authorities bent over backwards to help some people stay in
Australia, while banning others from entering the country?"
