Kroger emphasizes the importance of destroying the business model of human traffickers. He explains that Australia’s offshore processing system played a significant role in deterring illegal entries by publicly communicating that arrivals would not be allowed to stay.

The success Australia has experienced with these measures partly explains why Nigel Farage and other populist figures are gaining ground in Britain, capitalizing on widespread dissatisfaction with traditional leadership.
