Citizenship, Immigration and Insecurity: An Australian Story explores how Australia's policies on migration and nationality have shaped citizenship and social inclusion.

The book examines the historical and contemporary intersections of citizenship, migration, and insecurity, analysing key issues such as the prioritization of economic utility in migration policy, cultural expectations placed on newcomers, and the role of migrants in political debate. It critically assesses Australia's responses to challenges such as demographic ageing, cultural diversity and erosion of political authority. The impact of emergency measures during the COVID-19 pandemic is also explored, revealing the fragility of citizenship protections in times of crisis.

This book is an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and professionals in migration studies, political science, and public policy, as well as anyone interested in the evolving dynamics of citizenship and migration in Australia and beyond.
