Immigration nation: How Australia's immigration success story became its biggest political fight

Australia's immigration policies have become a major political issue, with debates over the number of migrants and refugees admitted into the country. The government has been criticized for its treatment of asylum seekers arriving by boat, which often involves mandatory detention on offshore facilities like Nauru and Papua New Guinea. Meanwhile, there are disagreements among politicians about how to handle the humanitarian aspects versus national security concerns related to immigration. This contentious topic is central in shaping public opinion and electoral outcomes in Australia today.
