This essay provides a comprehensive policy analysis of Australia's refugee/asylum seeker policy, framed within a neoliberalism perspective. It examines the historical context, the influence of economic and political factors, and the social implications of the policy, including mandatory detention, offshore processing, and temporary visa schemes. The analysis delves into how neoliberal principles such as deregulation, privatization, and restrictions on labor mobility have shaped the policy's development. It assesses the impact on asylum seekers' rights, the role of government funding, and the use of authoritative language in policy development. The essay also explores the effects of the policy on national identity, attitudes towards migration, and the balance between national interests and human rights, drawing on both descriptive and interpretative analysis to provide a nuanced understanding of the complex issues at stake. The essay concludes by evaluating the policy's successes and failures, particularly regarding the reduction in asylum seeker numbers and the increased violation of refugee rights.
