Words and images matter,& are often manipulated by governments and media to sustain & justify harmful border control policies. In this CONREP - Refugee Externalisation Policy Network report, @pbmurray1 & I contest negative, securitised narratives that lead to harms for those seeking refuge. arts.unimelb.edu.au/school-of-soci…

This refugee externalisation policy, with parallels of cruelty in UK & Australia, has been analysed by Dr Tamara Tubakovic Margherita Matera @pbmurray1 & others in CONREP - Refugee Externalisation Policy Network. arts.unimelb.edu.au/school-of-soci… Asylum Insight University of Melbourne Faculty of Arts Russell Goulbourne HumanRightsLawCentre Human Rights for All

Corrosive narratives must be challenged. Refugee voices must be front and centre in policy making. Media must hold government to account. Government must move away from populist dehumanising narratives & policies. See policy report arts.unimelb.edu.au/__data/assets/… Claire Loughnan

New piece about why the Australian approach to refugee externalisation should not be a model for the UK, by CONREP - Refugee Externalisation Policy Network academics Dr Tamara Tubakovic @pbmurray1 & Margherita Matera . University of Melbourne Faculty of Arts Russell Goulbourne Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness LSE British Politics and Policy University of Melbourne Alumni UNSW Kaldor Centre

New article by CONREP - Refugee Externalisation Policy Network academics on how Australia’s refugee externalisation is a cautionary tale for other states like the UK: Margherita Matera Dr Tamara Tubakovic @pbmurray1. Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness UNSW Kaldor Centre Refugee Council 🧡 Refugee Council of Australia Russell Goulbourne Faculty of Arts UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency

Such laws, & media coverage, convey a distorted, false image of refugees as a threat to society. Such narratives are corrosive as we also argued here arts.unimelb.edu.au/school-of-soci… The media & politicians are complicit in fuelling negative rhetoric about refugees @pbmurray1 CONREP - Refugee Externalisation Policy Network
