This chapter focuses on Australia’s occupation of Christmas Island, an Indian Ocean territory of Australia, which is located 300 kilometres south of Java and 2,600 kilometres northwest of Perth, Western Australia. Here, asylum seekers of today await the sealing of their fate. For many Christmas Islanders the incarceration of the asylum seeker represents a continuum of how the island has always been a place of institutionalised exclusion and disenfranchisement. The essay incorporates interviews with asylum seekers and Christmas Islanders that took place in 2009
