1. What categories of asylum seekers are covered by Australia's fast-track procedures?

2. What are the government's justifications for selecting these groups for differential treatment?

3. How do the procedures differ from the standard RSD procedures? What rights are curtailed?

Debate proposition (half the class to argue for, and the other half against - be prepared to see the arguments on both sides):

Australia's fast-track procedures comply with Australia's obligations under international law
