- Description
- Australia's human rights record is increasingly subject to international critique alongside pariah states like Saudi Arabia and North Korea. On the face of it, this juxtaposition is easily rejected. But strong evidence backs the increasing weight of international sentiment opposing Australia's record. Australia may already have pariah status in terms of its asylum policies. So why does its government-and perhaps also the majority of its people-seem to care so little for Australia's tarnished international reputation?
