“…In his provocative analysis of Australia's birth as a nation, A New Britannia, McQueen (2004) argues that for much of Australia's history, the colonists who occupied the continent as an outpost of the British Empire have in return, viewed the neighbouring Pacific region though Australia's own version of a 'Monroe Doctrine', exhibiting sub-imperial tendencies first as a group of prefederation British colonies and later as federated neo-colonialists-where the colonial dominion of the Pacific shifted from Britain to Australia. Tod Moore's (2015) study of liberal imperialist thought in Australia as expressed though the Imperial Federation League and the friends and associates of Protectionist and later Liberal Party Prime Minister Alfred Deakin, presents an image of an Australia imagining itself as member of federated empire. Thompson's (1972) critique of the Australian Labor Party and Australian imperialism suggest similar sentiments on the other side of the political divide, albeit with some xenophobic reservations.…”

This non-traditional research article argues that the refugee and asylum-seeker protests in Brisbane’s Kangaroo Point between April 2, 2020 and April 14, 2021 can be viewed against a backdrop of Australian colonialism—where successive Australian governments have used former colonies in Nauru and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea as offshore detention facilities—as a dumping ground for asylum-seekers. Within the same context this article argues that the men’s removal to the Kangaroo Point Alternative Place of Detention is a continuation of this colonial policy of incarcerating ‘undesirables’ on occupied land, in this case on Meanjin—Jagera land identified by the colonial name of Brisbane. This extension of Australian sub-imperial and neo-colonial dominion and the imagining of its boundaries is viewed though the theoretical prism of a polymorphic border, a border that shifts and morphs depending on who attempts to cross it. In a departure from orthodox research practice, this article will use visual storytelling drawn from photojournalism praxis alongside more traditional text-based research prose. In doing so, it will use photo-journalistic artifacts and the visual politics that surround them, as core dialogical components in the presentation of the article as opposed to using them as mere illustrations or props.
