1 Jan 1970 Jahr - EVENT 6: Paul Keating Mandatory Detention Centers 1992

Beschreibung:

In 1992, under the leadership of Prime Minister Paul Keating, the Australian government introduced mandatory detention centres for asylum seekers arriving without proper documentation. This policy aimed to address the challenges posed by unauthorized arrivals while their refugee status was assessed.

Statistical data during this period reveals that the number of asylum seekers arriving in Australia increased significantly. The implementation of mandatory detention centres led to a surge in the number of people seeking refuge in Australia, prompting debates on the management of migration and the treatment of asylum seekers.
