a) No reintroduction of temporary protection visas. Those things were hell for anyone who had to live through them.
b) No mandatory detention for asylum seekers (albeit it does exist for those who arrived 'unauthorised')
The 'minor' difference is if Labor or Liberal have an offshore processing centre, where it's going to be. The Tories basically want it anywhere, but like the idea of Nauru because that 'proves' the "Pacific Island Solution".
Labor wants it in a country that's a signatory to the UN Convention of Refugees. The main reason for that is so that the people making the claim can actually be assessed as refugees!
