    Podcast Summary

    • British Rwanda asylum policy ruled unlawfulThe British government's Rwanda asylum policy was deemed unlawful due to safety concerns, but the principle of returning asylum seekers to a safe country was upheld. The government was criticized for handling small boat crossings and asylum decision making, while a privileges committee report accused an outgoing MP of pressuring investigators.

      The British government's Rwanda asylum policy was ruled unlawful by the Court of Appeal due to concerns over the safety of the country for returned asylum seekers. The court did confirm that removing asylum seekers to a safe country is in line with the refugee convention. However, the shadow home secretary criticized the government for failing to address the issue of small boat crossings and the resulting chaos at the borders. The costs of the asylum system have soared despite a decrease in convictions for people smuggling and a collapse in asylum decision making. Meanwhile, outgoing Conservative MP Nadine Dorries faced criticism from a privileges committee report for allegedly putting pressure on MPs investigating Boris Johnson over lockdown gatherings in Downing Street. Dorries denied any coordination and criticized the committee for its actions.

    As the science of climate change becomes increasingly well understood, the ramifications of projected increases in temperature, changes to rainfall patterns, rises in sea-level and increase in extreme weather events require attention from policy-makers worldwide. This is particularly apparent in relation to migration, refugees and international security, with climate change acting as a threat multiplier to exacerbate existing tensions and instability.

    The Institute of Environmental Studies, in conjunction with the Climate Change Research Centre, the Faculty of Law and the Refugee Council of Australia held a public forum at UNSW on these very issues featuring Professor Andy Pitman, Dr Jane McAdam and Anna Samson.

    Death On The Mediterranean

    Death On The Mediterranean

    Stalin said one death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic. On Free State this week, Dion and Joe discuss the tragedy of tens of thousands drowning in the Mediterranean. They wonder how we lost touch with our own humanity and why people fall for the same tricks of hate peddled for centuries. They also ask why did four of our own MEPs vote against a resolution that would have ramped up search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean?


    Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.
