The system of asylum seeker detention in Australia is one which those seeking refuge are stripped many their rights, including the right to health. This presents serious ethical problems for healthcare providers working within this system. In article we describe and analyse role nurses.

In the 2010-11 financial 2013, there was a dramatic reduction in approvals granted by Australian Electoral Commission for access to samples of adult population derived from electoral roll purposes public health research. Much time and effort has been expended making applications without success. Researchers refused must rely on sampling methods that are not as robust may produce less reliable data. We outline set recommendations that, if adopted, will result fairer system obtaining
