Abstract | This essay reports on the Commonwealth of Australia’s regime of offshore detention designed for unauthorised maritime arrivals (hereafter UMAs Migration Act 1958 n.131, 198 AA-AJ). The aim of the offshore detention policy is to deter future arrivals by preventing UMAs from settling in mainland Australia. It will be argued that such a regime is a manifestation of Australian constitutional arrangements that allocate a large spectrum of prerogative to the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia (hereafter the Federal Parliament) and of a missing human rights culture in the Australian jurisprudential tradition. |
