Why do Australians support their two main parties' inhumane refugee policy?
The easy and slightly copout answer is to say that on the whole they don't, the main group that does polls on this topic show that the majority of Aussies don't support the system. It's basically a race to the bottom for the major parties.
The main problem is that sadly, it's not the issue at the forefront during elections, it is kinda but it's tied up enough, rightly or wrongly, with the the national security argument, so being humane is portrayed as being soft on national security.
Plus like usually about 70% of the population vote for one party their whole life and never change type thing.
Australia have the same sort of right wing nationalism growing, or becoming more overt at least with the rise of the one nation party etc like we're seeing in, well, most of the developed world atm. So I don't want to claim that we are in some dystopian like Utopia.
