    Abstract

    In this article, the author examines the effects of Australia's Temporary Protection Visa regime on the lives of refugees and asylum seekers. In the process, he stages a Levinasian reading on the ethical question of justice in the context of law and politics. This question of justice, he argues, is predicated on the relation with the Other and what Levinas terms a "non-transferable responsibility" to address the call of the Other in their moment of need.
