Abstract

The MV Tampa incident placed Australia at the centre of international attention with respect to its refusal to allow entry to the Afghan refugees on board. The rescue at sea by the Tampa gave rise to issues in maritime law and refugee law for Norway, the country of registration, and Australia. The refusal, moreover, led to a clash in the courts as to the power of the executive under the common law and statute.
