		Depending on who you ask (and which paper you read), the arrival of the MV Tampa in 2001 was either a decisive moment in the 2001 election campaign, allowing John Howard to be re-elected despite his earlier popularity, or just a brief incident which reminded Australians of their rip-roaring patriotism and allowed for much flag-saluting.
		Tampa was the watershed the Government needed; it stopped the slide and gave them a chance to find their footing again.

		Democrats Deputy Leader, Andrew Bartlett, says the fourth anniversary of the rescue of 433 asylum seekers by the MV Tampa is a reminder that major damage is still being caused as a result of the Governments response to the incident.

		The 'MV Tampa' incident was highly publicised, but for several years the Australian government has operated a hard-line detention policy for asylum seekers and illegal immigrants.

		The 'rule of law' was not applied to the group on the MV Tampa, since the Australian government refused to process their asylum claim.
