Out of sight, out of mind : excising Australia from the migration zone

The migration zone is any place in Australia where a person arriving without a valid visa - what is technically called “without lawful authority” - can still make a valid visa application.

It is distinct from the territory of Australia and might best be understood as a legal boundary within which people arriving without valid visas can still fall under the remit of the Migration Act of 1958. Protections afforded by the Migration Act - in addition to being permitted to apply for asylum - include having asylum claims processed in Australia, rather than in a detention centre such as Manus Island or Nauru

–-> on explique très bien dans cet article aussi l’histoire du #Tampa et de #Arne_Rinnan :

To understand how we started tinkering with the boundaries of the migration zone, one must go back to 2001 and the so-called Tampa Affair. In August 2001, Captain Arne Rinnan rescued 433 asylum seekers from their sinking boat and sheltered them on his freighter, the MV Tampa. He then made the decision to head to Christmas Island (which was at the time still in Australia’s migration zone) for the safety of his vessel, the crew and the people he had rescued.

As a way to solve what then prime minister John Howard viewed as a direct challenge to border security in the aftermath of September 11 terrorist attacks, he proposed and had passed legislation that re-defined Christmas Island, Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Australian sea and resources installations as well as any other external territories, or state or territory islands, prescribed by regulations as “excised offshore places”. Importantly, this legislation was also retrospective.

With a stroke of the proverbial parliamentary pen, while the Tampa asylum seekers had reached Australian territory, they were no longer in the “migration zone” and were subsequently removed to offshore detention centres.

But in our present day, it began in earnest with President Ronald Reagan’s Executive Order 12324 of 1981, also called the Haitian Migrant Interdiction Operation (HMIO), which exclusively tasked the USCG to “interdict” Haitian asylum seekers attempting to enter the United States by sea routes on unauthorized sailing vessels. Such people were already beginning to be derogatorily referred to as “boat people,” a term then borrowed (less derogatorily) into Haitian Kreyòl as botpippel.

#Angleterre, 2021 :

Asylum seekers deemed to have arrived in the UK illegally will no longer have the same entitlements as those who arrive in the country via legal routes. Even if their claim is successful, they will be granted temporary refugee status and face the prospect of being indefinitely liable for removal.

Reprise du #modèle_australien et son concept de l’#excision_territoriale par les Etats-Unis :

“People intercepted at sea, even in U.S. waters, have fewer rights than those who come by land. “Asylum does not apply at sea,” a Coast Guard spokesperson told me. Even people who are fleeing violence, rape and death, who on land would be likely to pass an initial asylum screening, are routinely sent back to the countries they’ve fled.”

Truet Tampa-kaptein med 20 års fengsel

Kaptein Arne Rinnan ble truet med at han ville bli arrestert og dømt til fengsel i 20 år hvis han satte flyktninger i land på Christmas Island i Australia.

HELT : Tampa-kaptein Arne Rinnan skal ha blitt truet med fengsel av australske myndigheter. Men han holdt hodet kaldt og gjorde det han mente var riktig likevel.

SPECIAL REPORT: In a rare interview, Arne Rinnan, the Norwegian captain of the Tampa, remembers his bitter frustration when the Australian government forbade him from bringing the 400 rescued asylum seekers to the mainland.

The phone rings in Arne Rinnan’s home, and the voice that answers it is like a quiet echo from a time long past.

Arne Rinnan’s calm, measured responses to the media in the aftermath of the Tampa affair became, in a sense, the wallpaper of the whole saga. And now, the voice is unchanged, only perhaps even a little more resistant to being pulled backinto the limelight than it already was then.

But after several minutes, the Tampa captain allows himself to reflect just a little.

This is what a refugee wrote to him: “Last night, our family prayed for you together, you old sailor from Norway, our rescuer. We remember those fatal hours, when our little wooden boat was shivering in the wind. You are a noble Viking with wisdom and humanity. My youngest son wants to put up a picture of you in his room, and my wife kisses your hands in gratitude".
