%X The arrival of asylum seekers on Australian shores, particularly those who arrive irregularly by boat, has for many years been a matter of significant political and public concern. This concern has ebbed and flowed in line with the numbers of boat arrivals, and corresponding attempts to crack down on people smuggling and deter asylum seekers from journeying to Australia. In Australia, after a period of relative quiet in the middle of the last decade, the issue has been very much back on the policy agenda as numbers of arrivals have steadily increased over the last four years.
