Working with the Karen Community
1st April 2014
by Alexandra Lane, Diana Pitruzzello & James Dunne
On 12 December the “Working with the Karen Community” report was launched. The Karen people are an ethnic minority group from Burma. With a growing community in Victoria, particularly in the Wyndham and Hobsons Bay areas, the Karen people fled their native country and settled in Australia following decades of persecution due to the world’s longest-running, ongoing civil war. With the assistance of a Wyndham Karen community member who collected and translated stories, the report was created to help service providers better engage with the community by increasing their understanding of the Karen people and their experience of settlement in Australia.

Policy as punishment: asylum seekers in the community without the right to work
4th March 2014
by Lisa Hartley and Caroline Fleay: Centre for Human Rights Education
This research paper details the experiences of 29 asylum seekers who were released from immigration detention in Australia into community-based arrangements with no right to work and limited entitlements. This paper aims to elevate the experiences of asylum seekers living in the community without the right to work. It is important that the voices of those most affected by government policies are heard. While some argue that democratically elected governments have a mandate to implement the asylum policies they outlined prior to an election,8 decision makers must also consider the impacts of these policies on asylum seekers themselves. Governments retain vast powers to decide the fate of asylum seekers who arrive at the borders. This ‘asymmetry of power’ has too often meant that policies have been adopted in Australia that ignore the right of people fleeing persecution to seek asylum. These policies have also been adopted despite the existence of research that documents the harm created by earlier such policies.
